I have to say that I appreciated Laura's playing a lot more after hearing Rob play afterward. I tried playing cello just last week so I have the difficulty of getting even an acceptable sound out of those types of instruments fresh in the mind, so I definitely have all due respect for Rob as definitely being a competent player, but obviously his tone simply could not touch hers. And I'd imagine that getting the bowed harmonics to sound nice is like ... well, I'd imagine it's hard.

Makes the work I've been doing on the guitar lately seem more than a little shoddy.

Oh man, Bill -- I want to guitar like you can guitar. I guess it's just a matter of practice...

The Blanca Noche pieces were pretty awesome; all rolling and dark and ambient-ish... it's like you're getting at the same thing that dub reggae gets at, without being dub reggae. Keep at it, yo!

"...[Blanca Noche is] getting at the same thing that dub reggae gets at, without being dub reggae"

This is a quote that will be pulled for our press releases.

"Sentence Your Ass (To Be Rocked)" is the best song title ever.

I did not know I had become E. Robert Brown (ERB) since the adequate New Year rung in!

cola_fan January 2 2007, 07:00:15 UTC

Ha ha, fixed. I guess I associated you more with a building I used to work in (Electronics Research Building) than the numerical function used to integrate Guassian distributions - ERF(x).

There is also a link to Michael Cimino's page, but it is hidden (just like the track):

seconded.

and yes bill you can rule on some guitar.

i had some solo chops for skeletons prepare but due to a poor monitoring judgement by myself (ie. i had headphones but didn't wear them) i was off all bad.

i still can't wait to download all the performances! =)

adequate new year, y'all!

Also! Graham, thanks so much for the coffee pot! I made some espresso today, it's pretty exciting :)

My friend Janice -- who's authentically Cuban -- makes a pretty mean café cubano con un aparato como éso. A lovely gift!

cola_fan January 2 2007, 17:43:43 UTC

You are welcome. You must me eseñar para preparar the cafe cubano.

*nods* Creo que there's an art to escoger the right beans and proportions (and maybe temperature); the coupla pots I've hecho so far have been buenos, but that ¡sabor latino! yet eludes me... maybe we can figure these things out juntos!

I wish I had brought talent. I suck.

cola_fan January 2 2007, 17:42:06 UTC

You brought talent, it was latent. But it helped add something to the air.

meropa January 2 2007, 17:56:07 UTC

There was a song in my heart.

laurapatt January 3 2007, 07:59:54 UTC

i invite you all to my recital in march where i'll actaully play false harmonics and not butcher them out of a lack of preparation and mild intoxication.

cola_fan January 4 2007, 05:48:36 UTC

Awesome. Send me the invite... (facebook?)
