After a long time of not performing solo (close to three years), I'm playing three gigs this month. I didn't mean for it to happen this way, but it's testament to the fact that there are three awesome monthlies for experimental music in Portland right now.
I'll be debuting my new solo project, The Oo-Ray, which is improvised live cello looping mixed with distortion, to produce fuzzy walls of sound. How does it sound? I've put up some samples up on my own blarg for your enjoyment/perusal: link
Here's the dates:
Thurs July 12 - Fiasco @ ground kontrol (special shoegaze night!) - 511 NW Couch
Friday July 20 - Aleatoric @ Apotheke - 1314 NW Glisan St # 2A
Weds July 25 - WTF? @ Fez Ballroom - 318 SW 11th Ave
In other cello news, I've been learning the Prelude to the first Bach Suite...it's really intimidating, but it's been a dream of mine to play it for nine years. So I'm amazed and grateful that I'm working on it.
Also, I am just starting to learn Thumb position, which is really hard. Basically past fifth position, you rest your thumb on the string and it acts like a capo, which lets you play scales and notes far above the normal range. It's very hard for me right now, but I'm sure with more work, it's gonna not sound like a schreeching cat.  | |
