Cassette

MCD-200109

A couple of previously-unreleased sound montages and moods, intended for cassette release when cassette was the happenin' indie venue. Two sides of a 1987 late-night recording exploring one's station in life with the aid of a digital delay unit, a guitar, a bass, a tenor recorder, and a microphone. Also included is a not-often-recorded metal sound sculpture that sits in the lobby of the music building at the University of Akron, recorded once and for all, and used as the backdrop for a whacked-out group improvisation.

Tracks

  • Zero Tolerance for Pat (part 1)
  • Zero Tolerance for Pat (part 2)

Conversations with No One

MCD-200110

A mini-album of fretless bass musings. Jazz influenced but varied and personal statements. Mostly born out of a really lousy evening and the attendant guilt felt after yelling at my kids. Recorded in one continuous take. Apologies were accepted. Feel the pain and the joy of pure music.

  • Delta 108
  • Shame
  • Move Along
  • Gaudí
  • Kick Back
  • Noyful Joise
  • Scrapple from the Apple
  • So What

POWER SALAD
Disney Song

MCDS-200111

Noticing a trend whereby if it sez Disney and Pixar, it is 1. bound to have a rousing heartfelt message song by Randy Newman, and 2. it is bound to be a smash success. But what about the rest of us poor saps treading out here, don't we deserve a shot at instant fame trading on people's emotions? This goes into the potential riches awaiting he who getteth the Disney gig. Also included is a very old recording, the original home version of an upcoming Power Salad tune.

A nifty mini shaped CD single. It'll work in your CD player or computer, may just need to turn it so it covers up the sensor hole. Trust me.

Tracks

  • Disney Song
  • Hot Dogs in the Sink (original 1981 recording)
