About me
a FAQ for ariel\'s dogs
GORDON FAQ: q: where does gordon like to poop? a: he is very picky about where he likes to poop. he tends to choose a different area everytime, about a mile away from the house on a walk. sometimes the person walking gordon will be able to suggest spots for him. bear in mind there is no template for a good spot-sometimes the area is grassy, sometimes he like to poop in a bush. mostly, he likes the poop to be out of the way. we think this comes from when he was a young puppy, and the people at the farm where he used to live would throw things at the giant pack of rotweiler puppies when they started to poop somewhere where they could see. q: why does gordon act like he\'s been abused? a: we\'ve been trying to figure that one out forever. ariel\'s had him since he was 6 weeks old, and she doesn\'t hit animals. probably it has something to do with him being a runt in the litter-all his brothers were big dopey rots, and he has a more slender lab appearance, so he probably got his share of beatings in the womb. he\'s mercurial. q: why does gordon \"do bitings\"? a: we think that\'s his nervous response to everything. although, it may have its root from when ariel was in college, living with a bunch of dirty hippies with fleas. q: why does gordon get \"stinkface\"? a: he likes to diguise himself from bigger dogs. he thinks \"i\'ll just smell like a nice dead bird and nobody\'ll know i\'m here\". q: what are some ways to address gordon? a: \"best boy\" sometimes pronounced \"bist buwey\" as in \"he IS bist buueey\". \"speak boy,\" \"stink face,\" \"peanutbutter eyebrows,\" \"dancing peanutbutter,\" \"puppycakes,\" \"best swimming boy,\" and \"a real best boy\" are also acceptable. q: why does \"his lip get all messed up\"? a: sometimes, when he\'s very focused, like on \"some fishes\" or a nice work of art, he\'ll close his mouth carelessly and get a hanglip. q: what are some of the grammamtical subtleties i need to know to communicate with gordon? a: he can spell, but only a few words like \"w-a-l-k\" and \"l-e-a-s-h\". also, present tense and third person are usually prefered such as \"gordon goes to the puppy park\" and \"gordon wants a treat\". however, the grammar is always in dispute. q: what kinds of music does gordon like? a: the more off-the-wall, the better. he especially likes conlon nancarrow and karlheinz stockhausen. seriously. OLIVER FAQ: q: why is he so goddamn cute? a: because he has no soul. q: why doesn\'t he have a soul? a: because he\'s so goddamn cute. q: is he a girl? is he a miniature lassie? OMF HE\'S SOOOO CUTE a: no, kind of, he\'s the devil. q: where does oliver like to poop? a: in the same spot in the neighbor\'s ivy every day. q: why does he get up all indignant when i sit next to him? a: because he\'s a little bastard. q: what kinds of music does oliver like? a: pop music, like kelly clarkson and ashlee simpson. q: can i pet him? a: you can try. q: is he really that cute? a: you\'d want to drop an anvil on him.

yup. it is.
i'm all over it like a priest over a twelve year old 1. Slow Motion Death Scene
2. Milky (Live) 3. Eagre 4. If We Aren't Blind 5. Boat is Drunk (Remix for AdcBicycle) 6. Angostura 7. Sfumato (Live) 8. Downtown Pajama even the title names are badass; the music is top-notch. and it's even danceable! Thanks scott! This means a lot to me that you (and ariel) like it.
Re: the titles. Deltasleep came up with 'slow motion death scene' and 'Downtown Pajama' is a character in a friend's play. hey, thanks for reminding me. wanted to upgrade from the download version to the cd. so way to blog on payday.
this has gotten more rotations at the house/work than the new basinski disk and has helped renew my interest in ambient music. jas040 said: " the music is top-notch. and it's even danceable!" butoh-able Some of the things we were struck with:
How the hell did he make those sounds out of a cello? The flip-side is "thanks for giving me another reason to have to learn cello" I know it's a cliche, but I vividly felt like I was in some giant landscape, where everywhere you looked was filled with impossible detail. Makes for deep listening. bought ! Looking forward to playing it full quality on my hi-fi
 Thanks Luv & Roshi How did I make those sounds?
Lots of distortion, timestretching, pitchshifting/bending, and filtering. The cello is so spectrally rich, that when you distort it, you add all sorts of great harmonics, easily filling the entire spectrum. Add to that very slow vibrato, feedback and reverb and you can begin to see where the density comes from. I am pretty obsessed with distortion and use lots of different kinds (pedals, amps, plugins). To me, it's a fascinating kind of additiive synthesis. My studio techniques aren't that much different than most drone artists, it's just my source is somewhat different. love your cello playing on this, looking forward to buying as an actual CD, nice job!!
Thanks, craque!
Btw, anyone else who wants to buy them, I have copies and can ship directly (depending on where you are). emMail me for details. Also, also: link
Marc Weidenbaum's (of Disquiet fame) liner notes on Magnifications. did your copy ever show up i sent??
i fucking love this CD. love it. love it.
jdg said: "did your copy ever show up i sent??" Yup, got it, thanks. Also, it's really heartening to hear that you all like it. Thanks, everyone!
