anniversary of the third half day of recording musicians of bremen stuff 2022

 the day's new recordings 

the only non cover of the day a guitar solo recorded on the resonator and then with the hohner12 string added on top. horsemouth is thinking of naming it guitar piece (for pier marton) and because he's reasonably confident no-one is going to get that joke he'll explain it here. 

'with roots in the performance art and body art of the 1970s, marton's early works are visceral, psychological confrontations with the viewer. guitar piece is a darkly comical, angry work, in which marton hits a guitar against his head in a rhythmic (fashon), yelling "music!" in an accelerating fury until the guitar splinters into pieces.' - electronic arts intermix performance for video  on vimeo. 

horsemouth thinks he saw this with a student. he basically takes it to be about rage and frustration with art. nonetheless horsemouth thinks this could work as a track (with a few nips and tucks), he's pleased with how it turned out (perhaps apply some distortion to the resonator).  

you and your sister (recorded with howard's valencia nylon strung guitar) this came together really quickly. probably another result and ending up on high rise strutters' ball. (guitar resonator, banjolin, vocals, trumpet-impersonation). rhythm still a little baggy. ah well fuck it. 

yesterday the goldfinches were out in the garden and there was a rainbow. horsemouth planted some beans but held off on planting out the first of the broad beans. this means he will have to clear space for them and work out how much space they will need. soon a phonecall from his brother. 

and now it is the morning. it is grim and rainy (so much for yesterday's sunshine). ok it's just today (according to the weather forecast).
