Now brother don't leave the homework undone.
So these days things with Midori and the making of our new CD as an avant-lappop duo together have gotten well underway. We're getting together regularly to work on things, and so far, there's a lively spirit of collaboration in the air. There are rough sketches for two or three tracks, and on them we'll be using just about every trick in the book I imagine. We're brimming with ideas for this, that, and the other. It wouldn't be wrong to say that we are probably approaching the avant/pop balance from the avant side of things, which might be a refreshing change of pace these days. We should be done with our album by the end of December. I'm sure we're going about this ass-backwards, but even though we don't have a name, but we DO at least have a graphic artist (actually my friend Alisa at CalArts) who will do our album's design and cover, and we DO at least have a European tour lined up for January with dates in London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Germany with folks like Roddy Schrock and Antonin. I'm sure some of the Tsunami Addiction kids will be on the scene as well. Oh, to zig in the era of zag.
