music : colleen
When the musician who made your favorite album this year plays a show within 10 minutes walk of your house, you gotta go, right? In this case for me, it's the French multi-instrumentalist Cecile Schott, who performs under the name Colleen. (The album is "Les Ondes Silencieuses"...more Colleen here). The above video seems to be someone's found footage set to one of her pieces. The video below isn't great footage, but the sound is okay, and it's interesting as it was filmed recently and demonstrates one of Colleen's more interesting techniques, that of using a classical guitar as a resonation chamber for a music box (she was commissioned to write an entire album for music box), then fed into a number of looping pedals, one of which over time begins to repeat the pattern backwards.

save the date to ROCK
Here's a really short version of a really long story. After nearly 20 years since we last played together, my high school band Landscape Paperweight has a gig...and a MySpace page.
Mark your calendars for Thursday July 9 at Philadelphia's "The Fire." We'll be playing a set featuring some of our late-80s originals, a few new originals, and a couple classic covers. Back then, I wanted to make serious musical art. These days, I just wanna ROCK!
