I had a great time improvising last month in Chicago with Andrew Scott Young (bass) and Ben Billington (synthesizer). Me on soprano saxophone. This was a first time trio. Now available for free or pay-what-you-can download. There is also a link to video of the performance, in case you want to see me make a lot of very strange faces.
Rare remixes, reconstructions, recombinations, reworks, and reconfigurations by Craque.
It's only $5 for 17 songs because only five of them are remixes of original material. Music and sound that inspired me to dig deeper from Johnny Marr, Logreybeam, Twerk, Proswell, Ilkae, Christopher Willits, and more!!
Every now and again I get the idea of live streaming in my head and I do a little research on how I can set that up on my own domain and not use a major platform.
It always ends with me realizing that I just don’t have the flexibility and space for doing a regular live stream.
I have a goal to make videos of performances, but these will be recorded instead of live. This is something I can make the time for and make happen.
It doesn’t mean I won’t ever do live streaming, but it won’t be a regular thing for me. Maybe I can be a guest on someone else’s sometime when I have something to share.
I'd love to see any @experimentalmusic folk out tomorrow night in #Chicago at Elastic Arts for the weekly #ImprovisedMusic series. I'll be in town, improvising with Andrew Scott Young and Ben Billington.

On this, rarest of Alabama snow days, I give you my first album to listen to.. some of the tracks were crafted with such a day in mind. Contemplative, meditative, moody music to drift away to? I got you, fam.
You have to appreciate the courage that sure is needed to embrace something as primitive or even silly as harsh noise with such seriousness as The Rita does.
