about

A re-imagining of Brian Anderson's Work We Do, Sounds We Hear.
I listened to Brian's cd in the Sidebar and preformed his songs at the open mic there too many times to count. He was legendary, one of the 'old lions'.
I love these songs so much, I wanted to express my feelings through them and wear them like costumes. I'm grateful to Brian who inspired me to complete the project and who was able to listen to it before he passed.

He reviewed some of it with spontaneous text messages:
'dreamscape sound design, underwater haunted houses w shadows dodging across hallways. a galaxy of cacophony surrounding a big black hole of sad. growing on me...'
'deconstructed/transmogrified/augmented/reverberated/distorted/sped up/slowed down/dissonant/harmonic/zappa/nordine/nilson...'
'... background sprites running dog barefoot river of organ runs dark static atmosphere of vapor chains don't expect don't expect..'
