Flourescent Saxophone


This is a saxophone in acrylic flourescent on stretched canvas 16x20 inches. (the photograph itself is kinda lame.) I painted it in part because I was working in a music store at the time learning how to repair saxophones and other horns. The guys I worked with were avid jazz fans and both of them played saxophones a lot better than I ever did. Consequently, I heard a lot of horn music while I worked there. When they found that I played basses and guitars, they put me charge of tuning and setting up the instruments, which is how I came start playing mandolin in earnest. In an unintended sense, this painting is kind of a tribute to them and their generally enjoyable company.

noch ein Gemaelde


This is another painting I did severals moons ago. I painted this one with a palette knife and acrylic and flourescent acrylic paint on stretched canvas when I was unemployed. This biggest problem I have with painting are art nazis who think that art should have rules and a general lack of customers. This painting took about an hour to do and it remains one of my favorites.

Electric Spark In A Dry Forest


This is an excerpt from the most recent Electric Tiger release Dian Hu (Electric Tiger in Chinese), a piece entitled Electric Spark In A Dry Forest. There are more excerpts on the Electric Tiger website for those are interested. Sorry about the shortness of the things, but my concerns when I made them were the problems of bandwith and download time. So I opted to give a reasonable sample that could be downloaded relatively easy over a simple telephone dialup line onto a less than optimal machine. Dian Hu was a definite pleasure to make and it was shortly after we released it that Ticharu manifested in cyberspace unto me.

The Little Beast!


This is my solid body Epiphone Mandbird VIII. Lately, this has been my favoritest instrument to play. I have always wanted to play mandolin, so I bought several of them and started learning to play them a bit. This very instrument can be hard on some of my contributions to the Frappe Dreamgate Klangpool and Electric Tiger. I absolutely love the brutality and response of this thing.

Zymosis


Got a lyrik idea fermenting (zymosis)... It's going to take a while, but it coming. Creative processes are like that sometimes. This one'll be good - it's about SPAM.

Chaldron

I also like to paint with acrylics sometimes. This painting is acrylic on unstretched canvas and was painted in approximately 20 minutes and is called "Chaldron"

Erscheinung


Ich, Woden, habe einen Blog angefangen. Willkommen alle!

Meine Okkupation in Mythos sowohl im Klangwerk ist, verschiedene Instrumente mit Electric Tiger zu spielen und an Frappe Dreamgate teilzunehmen. Ich habe es gerne, musikalische Slambienz und Chaos zu erschaffen, wobei ich auch etwas transzendentales erleben.
