Greg Kelley: One hour as something that didn't turn out the way I
intended it to. (I'm not anti-music, music's anti-me.)
Another excercise in failure.
Spring 2003: With assistance from Vic Rawlings, I fill my room at Club
Awesome in Somerville MA w/ electric keyboards, synth, a small organ and
set them all for drone. A radio plays static. Record to MD, output MD
through my stereo for low feedback. An electric fan is aimed at the
microphone for the distorted vintage 78 effect (rpm, not the year). Vic
bowed a single cello note at some point and a cymbal was scraped. The
intent: record in mono for 2 hours, communicate with the dead. After 1
hour, I couldn't take it any more. My intended "Two hours as..." is now
"One hour as..." I fussed over it for a while. It's kind of boring. I
like boring, but...
Late Winter 2004: I must do something with this recording. I decide to
look backwards into the archives...
January 8, 2000: I send out a call to arms: Meet me at Twisted Village
Records, Cambridge MA at 8pm. It's Scelsi's birthday and we will play a
memorial drone for him. The call was met by Oliver Alden, Mike Bullock,
James Baumgartner, Seth Cluett, James Coleman, David Dougan, David
Gross, Tatsuya Nakatani, Howard Stelzer, Bhob Rainey, Vic Rawlings. Some
automatic instruments played themselves. Others may have been there, but
I don't remember. And you can't really hear them anyway.
Back to Late Winter 2004: I record a new track onto my 4 track in my
bedroom in Allston MA. Trumpet and radio static. (DJ Screw's ghost
inhabited my 4 track near the end of this track.) Then I record a
burning guitar solo for the end of my new and improved "One hour as..."
The mono drone, the Scelsi tribute band, the trumpet/radio track and the
HOTT guitar track are all mixed down from 4 track to MD under the
influence of Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout. A vocal intro and headphone
feedback interruptions are then added. The task is complete. It's a
bloodbath. What have I done?
{Thanks to Mike Bullock for the MD to CD-R transfer.}
