actually was sort of underwhelmed by the recent Acoustic Classics album ("unplugged" renditions of concert faves) -- his vocals are a little overbearing on it. guitar playing is of course excellent.

man cian nugent born with the caul is one of the all time great jam albums, so gorgeous

okay normally i'm a bit bashful about sharing my stuff in here but i truly feel good about this set... takes a bit to get really cooking but i think it works. excited to have found a live 'sound' that works for me. using two amps and splitting my signal between various effects rather than just blasting all this noise into one amp with a sorta limited dynamic range

Sounds great!! I need to get back into recording, too. Thanks for sharing.

yeah, gonna check this out! when's yr next album coming out?
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 16:37 (eight years ago) link
Yeah Global, that sound is great! Always nice to hit on stuff that opens things up sonically. Nice trajectory to the set too, great job.

Also, for anyone not aware, the Tashi Dorji/Marisa Anderson split is up for streaming:

Haven't listened yet, but this is very much "my kinda thing" so I am psyched (but I already ordered the record so I mean I am gonna have plenty of time to lay into this one).

working on some more 'band' material... pretty out-there stuff. touchpoints are like harmonia and alice coltrane 'journey' but doesn't really sound like any of those, more along their loose-limbed vibe/texture. not rushing into anything though, definitely waiting for the good stuff to reveal itself
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 18:40 (eight years ago) link
guessing at least one year out for a release?
harmonia and alice coltrane? eh, doesn't sound like it'll be good at all.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 18:41 (eight years ago) link
ya it'll suck
working less on 'songwriting' and more getting into a specific feeling/moment. doesn't hurt that my roommate is schooled in jazz!

Nice man, look forward to seeing where this winds up!

awesome I guess Tom Carter is playing Minneapolis at an art space during a record swap in November :):):):):):)

I'm going to see Vampire Belt on Sunday!

nace + corsano, right? i've never heard them actually -- what are they like? good i assume.
― tylerw, Friday, 13 November 2015 16:56 (eight years ago) link
yup -- i don't know much about what they sound like either but i am interested in guitar-drums duos who mix composed with improvised so i'm looking forward to itsome quotes here to sum it up http://www.cor-sano.com/vampirebelt/
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Friday, 13 November 2015 18:11 (eight years ago) link
corsano is always worth seeing
― ogmor, Friday, 13 November 2015 18:22 (eight years ago) link
yupthey've got a new record too
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Friday, 13 November 2015 18:38 (eight years ago) link
Whoa, would love to see that. And Tom Carter! Enjoy.
― grandavis, Friday, 13 November 2015 19:58 (eight years ago) link
Haven't seen Corsano since 2012 or so, and that was solo (which was awesome!). Hope he cruises through here sometime in the not too distant future.
― grandavis, Friday, 13 November 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link
Did not know of Vampire Belt!

ctrl+f thread for "Joan" shows me I'm a couple months behind on this one, but: this Joan Shelley record, y'all. WOW.
― alpine static, Sunday, 15 November 2015 19:33 (eight years ago) link
yeah definitely one of the top 3 albums of 2015 for me. pretty much perfect.
― tylerw, Sunday, 15 November 2015 21:46 (eight years ago) link
you guys omgi realize this thread is for more fingerpickin acoustic stuff but vampire belt scrambled my brains last night. i don't think chris corsano has any bones, he's like a glowing ageless alien supported by translucent cartilage. bill nace played sitting down and did all kinds of weird stuff that i can't describe very well because i am not a guitar player. the other guy who played (who was not local, unfortunately) was playing an electrified acoustic guitar and sounded like fuzzed out fricke/fichelscher. i talked his ear off :) idk if they're touring anywhere near y'all but i bought the new record (with change from the floor of my car) and i would definitely recommend it if you've got an appetite for some far out sounds.
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Monday, 16 November 2015 14:36 (eight years ago) link
that sounds awesome and honestly I think this thread is always appreciative of strains of improv/drone/underground rock that intersect w/american primitive and stuff, there's a lot of crossover anyway
but...to bring it back to some old school trill O.Gs choppin up game....for those of you in the southwest and west coast...

damn Toulouse Engelhardt has some swagger any actual dates announced for that? and LL definitely keep that kinda stuff in this thread. feel like everyone here has generally similar (or at least intersecting) tastes when it comes to this stuff, whether it's the straight takoma action or more noisy/experimental things. ps i love this thread.
― tylerw, Monday, 16 November 2015 15:09 (eight years ago) link
yeah I will check that Vampire Belt out, thanks LL

this is sounding pretty nice - https://tornlightrecords.bandcamp.com/album/bowles-turner-duoThe couple of Nathan Bowles and Ma Turner could not have meshed any better. Field recorded banjos, guitars and an omnipotent praise to the land these pieces were recorded in. Two delicate pieces filtered through the mountain's sounds.

hey FYI from chris forsyth:
Continuing the Bandcamp updating and the final LP copies of Solar Motel (2013), Paradise of Bachelors) are now available. This record is technically out of print, sold out at POB, so these are the last copies I have (tho you might find some sitting in stores or online here or there). I've got 17 copies** with your name on them, including DL card. Then, bye, bye, no more copies. Buy direct or cruise over to POB's Bandcamp for CD or digital:
http://chrisforsyth1.bandcamp.com/album/solar-motel-3
**make that 16 because i just bought one
― Amira, Queen of Creativity (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 24 November 2015 21:17 (eight years ago) link
killer record still -- though i might actually prefer the Solar Live release (which is up on bandcamp now too!)
― tylerw, Tuesday, 24 November 2015 21:21 (eight years ago) link
Yeah I bought that on vinyl when I was at the show wish the sound was better
― Amira, Queen of Creativity (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 24 November 2015 22:11 (eight years ago) link
is the sound not good? i might be so used to audience tapes that it seems solid to me. speaking of audience tapes: http://www.nyctaper.com/2015/11/chris-forsyth-the-solar-motel-band-november-12-2015-the-bowery-ballroom-new-show-announcement/
― tylerw, Tuesday, 24 November 2015 22:20 (eight years ago) link
they had a gut-punch sound live that i don't think many bootleg-ish recordings can match.
couple of the new tracks have vocals, that's interesting
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 24 November 2015 22:30 (eight years ago) link
I shouldn't have said bad, just I think I bought it at a particularly epic show and it felt small when I heard it at home
