Hello folks -- I'm doing the recital thing once again, staging my graduation concert here at Cal Arts. The concert will be on Thursday, February 27, at 8:00 pm. There'll be a somewhat smaller loop content than the last concert I did in October; the first half will be solo electric guitar -- *sans* loops, synths, or anything else -- straight into the amp. Assuming I survive the first half (not a foregone conclusion at this point!), the second portion will feature an ensemble project, which, in testament to my inability to go BEYOND FRIPP, not only rips off the instrumentation of his band but will be playing some of his tunes. (Sorry guys!) The band will consist of a "double duo" featuring myself, my mentor Miroslav Tadic on guitar, and Bryon Holley and David Shaffer on drumsets. The material will include some original composition, Frank Zappa's "Five-Five-FIVE," and three Fripp tunes: "THRAK," "Red," and "21st Century Schizoid Man." There will no doubt be much loopage from both myself and Miroslav to fill in some of the bass-less voids in the instrumentation. Anyone in the LA area (or anyone else who feels like making the trip) is more than welcome to attend. Please e-mail me if you need more information or directions to the school. Thanks for your time.
