Thought I’d scare the shit out of myself today…so there’s a new piece up on the Myspace profile. This time, it’s just me — on both poetry and guitar.

I was goofing around on the guitar and thought I’d try some new recording techniques I’d been reading about over at freeimprov‘s LJ — and when I was done, I just plugged in a USB mike to the laptop and double tracked a vocal improv poem over the guitar track.

Never posted any of my guitar work before. It’s a really rough mix; you can hear me cough at one point, and embedded in a crucial moment of the vocal is the dulcet tone of the Mac e-mail alert. 😉 But it’s kinda charming in a crude way, and even though the improv poem is nothing special, I kinda like the way it hangs together at the moment. I’ll likely re-record it at some point when I have a better recording environment, but not too shabby for about twenty minutes’ work, if I do say so myself.

Give a listen…
