#dream sessions

[witcheringdreams]

I keep dreaming and dreaming. And it always circles back to people I don’t know digging up my bones from a previous life. I wake livid they desecrated my grave for curiosity. Stop digging my bones up.

Pelor’s Dream

We find ourselves in a shared dream, in which we solve puzzles and are granted elemental runes. Cloudsong sits in the water and frowns loudly, while Vester gets into the airing cupboard. When we wake up, Torven still has her cherry bonsai, and Robyn still has her booze.

Cloudsong: Water | Torven: Earth | Vester: Time

Robyn: Fire | Sir Stuart: Thunder | Kyrelan: Tempest

Notes on the Dream Sessions thus far.

I was writing an email to a musician I very much admire trying to describe what I've been doing...  This project is a beast, but writing about it has helped untie a few mental tangles.  I have one city left to film, LA.... Trying to figure out how to put this all together. Here's an excerpt of what I wrote. 

"By capturing 'the creative process' I guess I had the analogy of a cooking show in mind, in that different songs require different sonic recipes and methods of arranging/recording.  Basically what I've been doing is having a camera guy (DSLR) shoot fly on the wall/documentary style and just letting the session run it's course.  After the session is done, I interview the musicians and engineer and sort of try and analyze what happened/what was going through their heads, as well as the history of the studio/neighborhood. 

 I guess this is my way of finding a way to try and re-define releasing an 'Album.'  I kind of got burned out pressing CD's, and I feel like showing the narrative behind the creation/capturing of the songs would be more interesting and inspiring.

Format-wise, the plan is to make a web series with each city's episode being about 25-30 minutes of total footage, but dice them up into 4-5 minute segments that I can release every week.  As far as where/when it'll be released, I'm still trying to figure that out.  It'd be cool to see if I could shape this into a longer form documentary of some sort, but that's an entirely different beast. 

I've recorded 4 cities so far, and they've all been pretty different- in Brooklyn, I gathered 3 jazz musicians I usually hire to back me up.  They're kind of my 'east coast wrecking crew,' and I wanted to show how I can take an idea recorded on my iphone, chart it out and have an arrangement within a few hours. 

I'm going to record a lot of voice-over, as it's impossible to 'host' a show while running a recording session.  It'll feel a bit more like a documentary than something you'd see on food network or the travel channel.

I did a similar thing at the Hangar in Sacramento, but that session was a bit more about the actual studio and it's connection to Tape Op Magazine.  Both of these were 'Goh' sessions where we recorded a bunch of my ideas as instrumental beds, with the idea that I'd write lyrics afterwards.

Portland had me being a fly on the wall while my friend Tomo Nakayama recorded  a song that he wrote for a film that just played at Sundance called 'Touchy Feely'  He's the kind of guy who can play everything pretty well, so I captured him building the song part by part over the course of a day.

The last session I did was in Montreal with Kid Koala.  We decided to make a track from scratch, so there was a bit of pressure- but if there's a theme of this series, it could be 'uncertainty.'  Luckily, everything has worked out pretty beautifully so far."
