Sunday Sunday Sunday
Headed out to iQuit at Rogue Buddha by myself last night. Turned out to be a good decision. My ulterior motive was to meet the curators and pimp out Low Orbit, as playing a low-key gallery show to get ourselves back into gigging mode would be just lovely for us- and our screaming droves of fans.
Ran into Molly, who I haven't seen in quite a while. She abetted my ulterior motive fabulously, knowing the folks personally who run the show and introducing me. Turns out the main guy who curates it is something of a kindred spirit- UofMN alum and tenor player (we even had the same sax teacher, though not at the same time) and he also loops his sax with a phrase sampler and couples it with beats and loops from a laptop, along with a live drummer. Pretty nifty. Despite the similarities, pretty stylisticly divergent from what I do.
Anyway, passed off a demo and it was met with interest. Hope that turns into something; I'd really love to play out again.
Also realized I'd wanted to see the visual art that's showing there now anyway, so that was a nice bonus.
I came home in a much better mood than when I left.
Then S4 and I went for a late-night grocery store run, delighted in finding that Cub has an entire aisle devoted to Asian food, and bought many more things than we'd planned on. Yay food.
This morning, I managed to get up to work on music. I gave myself just enough time to not finish troubleshooting. This is an effective strategy for getting me back in the studio, as now I have all day plus yoga time to wonder why the hell things are doing the things they're doing, and it will bother me until I get back in there and sort it out.
I still need new cables.
The end.
