     I am really glad to have finally dusted off the audio equipment.Having them within arms reach at any second has proven quite pleasurable as well as productive.  I finally taught myself how to record loops form external sources on the fly, which will enable me to make much more use of my iphone in performances.  I’ve been cherry picking audio app recommendation from Michael’s post on Facebook and Instagram.  Anything that is free and once and a while something that is cost effective and cheap are fair game.  I am a big fan of audio for the rest of us. I have always been a low-grade noise artist in the sense that I am unable to keep time and really hate practicing- but I love playing.  I think everyone should play more and forget about needing to know how to perform with an instrument to an exact rule of thumb.  I do enjoy the idea of know the rules before you break them, however if you are not of that culture then those “rules” do not apply as it might normally.  I do not attempt to perform classically motivated music.  I am familiar with them, but I am equally in not more drawn to the slow spiral into entropy.  I enjoy the point where all chaos lets loose and everything looses its form.  And its also fun to bring it back out but only in the service of giving the ear some rest and time to indulge in the air between loudness and tonality.  Am I talking out of my ass again?  Yes, because I am not a music student and do not pretend to be, but I enjoy having my eardrums tickled by something new.
