This music was recorded at the club known as Chop Suey in the Capitol Hill region of Seattle, Earth. I used a mini-disc recorder on the stage floor and then combined that recording with one made by the soundman (Brent). I am pleased with the results... Also with Brent's unexpected but fine use of echo on certain vocals ("What To Do" & "Morning Train")
I think this was our first show with Patrick on the drums. "Asia Major" is a free improvisation which involves a 7-string guitar tuned to a 5-note major scale. "What To Do" is 3-chord rocknroll. "Guitoracle" is a phenomenon derived from my interests in dowsing and subatomic physics, wherein an audience member asks us a question and we play the answer. I will be doing more with the concept. Hit the e-mail button if you would like us to perform or record a Guitoracle Question for you.
The last jam of the set: "East Meets West / Morning Train / Wes' Mood." "East Meets West" is a simple 4-note motif in A major, and a nice lead-in to the minor-bluesy "Morning Train." "Morning Train" is the first song I wrote after moving to Seattle in 2002, lying in a park at 6:30am after watching an amazing all night set by Siamese. Patrick knew "Morning Train" from a CD of mine that Dan and/or Evan Strauss gave him two years ago - we had never played it together before... "Wes' Mood" was written during an Underground Weather rehearsal wherein we each picked a mood and then improvised, or musically channelled, the mood. Wes chose "wavy," sort of a stoney-porch-afternoon-in-the-summer feeling. The guitar melody fell into place so naturally... What a great mood! Thanks, Wes!
