crosspolyfade

I met Sean Malachy thru flickr. He seen photos of my J.Mascis sig Jazzmaster and had technical questions, since he just got his.

We traded email several times then the idea came to me to see if maybe we could get a Postal Service-ish trade going. Made sense since he's all into the whole Kevin Shields sound, and I have yet to grow tired of that.

I initiated the idea, and this track crosspolyfade is the first exchange offering.




Sean, when you get this, add whatever you see fit and find a way to get it back to me in mp3 format; I'll share it with the silent masses that frequent 85lives.

You can download crosspolyfade here.

I could offer obvious suggestions but I almost never do that, I like collaboration to be unfiltered by works (other than logistical concerns); more intuitive (telepathic although I don't believe in such rubbish);less engineeristic.

I spoke with Role and he told me a story about this track; he said he recorded one night while wrestling with a dying flu. He has been divorced for almost a year now but has not really managed to make much of a life post-marriage.
His children are only interested in what they can get from him; materially.
He said he had been having issues with self-worth since he doesn't have much monetarily to offer.

In so many words, he has eluded to ending his life during the upcoming holiday season.

I've tried to talk him out of it, telling him he has so much more to live for; that there are people that care about him and his luck will change.

He smiles back at me, emptily as he appears to have preconditioned himself to have these conversations; he thinks this is all so pretentious and that human suffering should end in success or self-elimination, but never in a mediocre existence.

He really doesn't care that he's risking an eternity in the lake of fire; all he sees is the current emptiness and distress that he says he's been in for so long.

Shake it off. Role, you can really get me down.

Here's his latest; buy kids




Dude, don't be such a downer...

Role just keeps on working. Must be unemployed or something.

YES MASTER YES

NEWS FLASH:

It takes two to make everything go right.

Seriously, all my enthusiasm and love for sound still has me lacking; and that's an accountability partner, an equal, someone who can participate. Especially when it comes to mastering. Most great recordings involve two types of artistry; the musician (from whom the music flows), and the engineer (from whom the sound is carved).

Most of us can spill into the other and even get along decently doing both roles, but things flow so much better when you have at least another person.

I wonder why I don't.

fzzy

I could almost guess what Role has been listening to lately, judging from the email I just got with this jam.

I hope you enjoy Fzzy as much as we did. Go home happy; it's Friday.
