so many pretty little things

this is the first ‘trade winds’ track of all. collaborators on
this song were max floatation and myself. the track started out
with a nice guitar riff that max had recorded. from there, some
more guitars, synths, and even a piano were added. there were
about five back-and-forths on this one, and the final result is a
pretty little thing. max recorded from victoria, and i recorded
from vancouver. truly a long distance affair. hope you like.

max visiting from Victoria

i’m delighted to announce that max floatation once again broke free from the bonds of victoria for long enough to sit down for a truly epic moon tune session. in total, we recorded seven jams, and i’ve uploaded four of them for your listening pleasure. i’m sure you’ll agree that there is some worthy content here. once again, each of these tracks is un-rehearsed, improvised, and played in a single take. we were quite happy with what we were able to record in just a few hours. it is fair to say that we were both reminded of how much joy can be extracted from playing music. i can’t imagine a life without it. cheers everyone, and contact me if you want to put together a jam some time. Four of the several jams are posted here for your listening enjoyment.

long standing moon tunes recording artist max floatation is moving to victoria, bc for an undetermined period of time, which of course means that he will not be performing at jonestown studios nearly as often. as a result, we arranged a special final jam session. we got together and recorded three monster tracks, and i’ve posted them here for your review. remember: these tracks are experimental in nature, so be patient… give them time. each of them offers something interesting, and each of them builds into a memorable sonic experience. the rough spots are a necessary part of achieving those brief moments where true harmony is achieved… let me know what you think.
