Session 2006-02
02/18/06

I spent about 14 hours on this session in total, the night before the meeting, between 7:00pm and 10:00am.

I had just finished reading the manuscript of Nicholas and Karl's new book, which is all about the ICS 20-song process. I was inspired, to say the least, and decided to do a 40-song session! Well, I fell 14 short of the mark, but it's the first time I've ever gone over 20 songs, and most of them have vocals! Many of the vocal tracks are improvised lyrics and melodies.

Session 2005-09
10/30/05

I wanted to write an olde-fashioned drinking song, and this happened:
1. Here We Go Again


I wanted to write a Pixies song, and this happened:
2. Homecoming


I recorded the drums on this ditty with my 20-year-old boom box:
3. Funk With Me


I wanted to write an Eagles song, and this happened:
4. Long Way Down


I was jamming on my son's toy ukulele, and this happened:
5. Back & Forth & Knife & Fork


I started this one 2 hours before the meeting - it's nowhere near being finished:
6. Party Animal - Rough Sketch


Session 2005-08
08/25/05

I made these tunes with a toy keyboard called the V-Tech Little Smart DJ Jazz 'n' Jam:

Everything here was made with this keyboard, except the drum tracks on the last two songs, which were made with the Casio situated above the toy keyboard. The vocals on track three were recorded through the cheesy yellow mic on the toy keyboard.

1. Pair Annoyed
2. Frantically Calm
3. DJ Jazz 'n' Jam
4. Sambanambulist

Session 2005-06
06/12/05

Well, I went for 20 tunes, and only ended up having time to record drums and bass. So, here are 20 essentially unfinished little tidbits. For fun and games, I will make wave files available to anyone who wants to add to any of these pieces.

1. Three Ring
2. Bound
3. Cutter
4. Chop Chop
5. Pushed
6. Retrosexual
7. Fingers
8. Roll
9. Crumpled
10. Sneak
11. Rung
12. Sunk
13. Invisible
14. Needles
15. Uncouth
16. FoolMeTwice
17. Hurdles
18. Count It
19. Inquisitory
20. Uncertainty

This is only the second time I've done 20 tunes, and now I remember why. I can't seem to finish more than the drums and bass for 20 songs within the time limit of an ICS session. Heheh. Oh, well. I'll have to spend the next Polish Sausage session finishing my 20-song session tunes.


Session 2005-05
05/01/05

The first piece, Arco Glissando, was made from violin samples taken from the Philharmonia Orchestra website. The second bit, Not a Safe Place for a Chicken, was recorded using only my vintage faux-wood-veneer Casiotone 301, with some added hand percussion. The third tune, Spatula King, was inspired by general Wig absurdity, and specifically Eddie Current's lyrical fascination with random objects and phrases.

1. Arco Glissando
2. Not a Safe Place for a Chicken
3. Spatula King

After the session, I polished up Spatula King with new vocals and a new mix:
*** Spatula King -updated version

Session 2005-04
04/03/05

I decided to combine two projects into one as they both overlapped this weekend. So, my ICS session was combined with a noise-collage/song project to produce these eight, uh, pieces:

1. Caveman Jam
2. Pythagorus Jam
3. Insidious
4. Black Metal Guitarist
5. Fart On Command
6. Jimmie


Session 2005-01
02/22/05

This was a joint session between Steven and me. I created 11 drum loops and sent them to Steven, thinking he'd choose a few of them to start working from. Heheh. He lined all 11 up in succession, and began recording parts for one mammoth song. He then sent his monstrous creation back to me, and I added some bass, guitar and a little vocals. All of the parts that we added to the drum tracks were done on the day of the listening session, which explains some of the sloppiness - especially the bass, which was corrupted somehow, but I didn't have time to fix it before the meeting. This will be a fun tune to polish, eventually.

1. Bunny on the Stove

By the way, if it wasn't already crystal clear, I'll have it be known to all that Brother Steven is an incorrigible smartass.
