doux-oui
PROCESS:
Straight up off-the-cuff sight read. Kinda fun to record. Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
Instruments: drums, bass, electric guitar (rhythm & lead), acoustic guitar, hammond b3 emulator
Guitar rig: Jolie (cherry-red ES-335, customized by Peekamoose Guitars, http://www.peekamoose.com), Vox AC-15, Ibanez Screamer, Line-6 Pod-XT Flange/Wah/Phaser.
PROJECT:
The project this week is to perform a rendition of a piece of sheet music. The sheet music in question is a single low-resolution image from the forthcoming “sheet-music album” to be released by Beck this December. The image was provided by the publisher McSweeney’s when it announced the Beck collection, which is titled Song Reader.
You can use whatever instrumentation you like. Feel free to interpret the sheet music as literally or abstractly as you choose.
This track is an interpretation of a sample of the sheet music from the Beck collection Song Reader. The sheet music can be seen here:

@Westy Reflector: i haven't revisited them in a while either, probably should...kramer/bongwater was the other possible influence i picked up from yr track, but again...i could be projecting. anyway, nice stuff!

@markemorse: Such an awesome comparison. Maybe both? A gf gave me a cassette-to-cassette copy of 'Crushed Velvet Apocalypse' sometime in the early-90s. "You love Julian Cope, so you might like this," she said. Haven't revisited LPD in a while (perfect excuse now), but who knows, maybe the coincidence wasn't so coincidental. :^D

floyd, and is there a legendary pink dots influence, or coincidence?

@all n4tural: thank you for the spin and helping me see this in a different light. you're so right that 'experimental' is always subjective and in context.

@Tuonela: thanks, mate. if it ever comes to pass, i'll hold you to your offer... (though you'll get off cheap b/c i release all my records either for free or 'name your price'). :^D

@Justin Buckley: thx! yeah, the bass clef in the scan wasn't doing it for me, but some others this week created amazing creeping and haunting lilts with it. i ignored the "ukelele" instruction, too, fwiw. israel kamakawiwoʻole i'm not. :)

@Westy Reflector: So, so enjoyable. Man, the Pink Floyd effect is perfect. Really rousing.

Well, that was good! Perhaps you could record the whole album like this? I'd buy it :))

Amazing playing and production - especially for a just a few hours. Nice. And a bit humbling :)

@Westy Reflector: that's what makes it so experimental. your vocal phrasings are very Pink Floyd (to me), nice

Straight up literal off-the-cuff sight read of the sheet music jpeg. Kinda fun to record. Not particularly experimental. {shrugs}
