I wanted them to go beyond themselves. See, if you put a musician in a place where he has to do something different from what he does all the time, then he can do that - but he's got to think differently in order to do it. He has to use his imagination, be more creative, more innovative; he's got to take more risks. He's got to play above what he knows - far above it - and the fault linehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11570695487887344394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183504.post-1106852238242699372005-01-27T10:56:00.000-08:002005-01-27T10:57:58.520-08:00 From Miles - The Autobiography - I caught a train and went back to East St. Louis, walked in his office, which had the "Do Not Disturb" sign. Of course, he was shocked to see me, but my father was cool about things like that. He just said, "Miles, what the fuck you doing back here?" I said, "Listen, Dad.

In previous posts I've been trying to write in 2nd and 3rd person to make our sessions and liner notes appear to be authored from the outside, but to be honest the shit was confusing me, so let's simplify.

What a difference a few days make. Last Thursday we reported a promising beat in progress. In a nutshell, we lost the vibe, took it in another direction, and the preliminary concept we had for it is no longer applicable. So we'll see what happens... rawj just wrote this while at work...bullshitting...

After months of trial, error, and more error, we think we have the lab running at full potential. To prove it we started on another cardiac last night. Rawj was fooling with different chord changes in C# for hours, mostly string and harp sounds. He also had some basic drums via the Korg and about 3 changes in all. The overall sound was apocolyptic, Rawj was the fault linehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11570695487887344394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183504.post-1100044639168028852004-11-09T15:54:00.000-08:002004-11-09T15:57:19.170-08:00 Hooked up at Tope's Sunday November 7, 2004 - 6 hours of lab time resulted in absolutely nothing.

What we have musically thus far is a very thick and catchy 4 note bassline and blues guitar lick that Tope played, some primo-esque drum sounds, an ambient sample underneath, a few licks from an organ sound via the korg, another "keys" sounding sample that's in there dub-style, and layered samples of Rawj singing; all to 85 bpm.

So if you've been giving us any of your attention lately you would know that we were in the process of recording another Feenom Circle project (tentative title was The Middleground).
