about

recorded April 21st,22nd & 23rd

i guess you would call this the dance class edition, because i found myself really missing being in the dance studio with those humans training to create beauty out of thin air and being nothing short of inspiring in the process.
i've been accompanying dance classes for over 25 years and i can't tell you how much its informed me as an artist and a human. i didn't go to music school. dance accompaniment was my music school. if anyone out there admires my point of view as an artist, thank the profession of dance accompaniment.
so ...
here you have a nice mixed meter combo bit, a dreamy adagio, and a raucous djembe jam to get you across the floor.
dedicated to the all the dancers and teachers, but especially my steady eddies over the last several years -- Kristina Fluty, Zineb Chraibi, and Ethan Kirschbaum. oh, and of course, Mindy Meyers who told me to try to be an accompanist all those years ago....

p.s.
the goat head that famously (at least in my basement) died during the recording of track 3 of this side lives again -- as a painting that became the cover art for this record!

ok
your life is yours. keep dancing...



about the Shut-In Sides project:

Pandemic got you down? Faced with an abundance of time on my hands and locked in a house with music equipment, i decided to do a little project to stay sane and productive...
presenting The Shut-In Sides!
derived from solo improvisation, each release is a long form exercise approx the length of a vinyl album side.
Rules? While each release has no limits on the number of improvised passes allowed once a chunk of music has been selected to mix, all tracking must take place in a single day.
Hopefully these recordings provide some 20 min spurts of vacation from these strange historic times.
they can be free to download...
though,if compelled, you are more than welcome to pay any amount you wish at checkout.
i, like everyone else in the music industry, have found themselves suddenly unemployed...
that being said, if inclined and able, THANK YOU...
but no pressure! we have to create our own culture and i'm trying to participate in our greater good.
soooooooo
strap on those headphones and enjoy!
