WPI Music Groups in Greece: Last Night in the Bar

09 Jul 2006

Images taken from the last night of the WPI tour to Greece. I might have had some alcohol. I can't remember. Does Ouzo count as one of the major food groups? It does?! I'll Bruce-Lee one-inch-punch your ribcage if you're lying to me. Oh... Okay, I forgive you. Thanks for being straight ahead. It's so rare nowadays...

Adult Entertainment - Serious Play

14 Sep 1998

Last of three nights at the Vanguard. Crowd out in the street, shoving and elbowing to catch one phrase of the shit going down inside. Ives is on his 86th chorus of some free shit Nielsen whipped up last night. No fucking cheese blintzes and belgian waffles with margarine here, this is real USDA prime grade stock, kicking and bleating and bleeding all over the stage. Buchanan is slaughtering it mercilessly, jesus man! Suddenly, Nielsen is laying down 13/8, is that it? A voice yells, "What fucking time signature is that?" and I think Scaramongos is in seven, Buchanan is in GOD KNOWS WHAT. I took way too much fucking acid for thirteen. I'm subdividing, 4-3-4-2, 4-4-4-1, 3-3-4-3, 2-2-1-3-1-2-2, 3-4-4-2, ... [it gets worse, trust me]

[Chaos in the Modern Jazz Movement]  

Chaos in the Modern Jazz Movement

27 Oct 1996

An intensive study of rhythmic and melodic innovations in the early 1960's avant-garde jazz music from both compositional and improvisational standpoints, focusing on the music of Ornette Coleman. Parallels are drawn between these innovations and discoveries in modern mathematical chaos theory, resulting in an original composition based on a nonlinear dynamic system known as the Lorenz attractor. A performance of the composition featuring the author is recorded using studio production techniques of the early 1960's.
