Gotta go - back to work in the morning (oh, its already morning. How did THAT happen?). tuckered out from all that blowing. (Slips batteries out of megaphone). Good night, Zule, Blue, CC and all the rest.

Somebody talking about metal?

Nice Z. Traditionally, I'm a mixed-media and assemblage artist. The last couple years I've transitioned into illustration and 2-D work more. But I think I'll add that on my learning list. I'd like to get back more into 3-D work.

Good night Bin Noddin

Some cats can hear the smell of Iron in the air

Hear the smell of iron in the air... I like that.

LeChat! How'd those minibottles treat ya? They sure are handy to have around! (I got a grip of those in 04' and used em' as gifts for riding the artcar circuit).

Oh jeez, man... but it was fun!!!

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 10:51 pm

Nice to hear, LCN. Also good for a nip when it's cold outside. It was bone shattering cold last night here (8 degrees) and I walked home from the tavern, but wasn't to bad from all the hops in my belly. I don't drink very often (1-2) a month, but I do it hard. Maybe not the best thing, but hey!

Have either of you listened to the “ Burncast “ interview with Actiongirl is it worth trying to listen to at work on my lunch half hour,.. I can’t do sound at home

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 10:53 pm

I can’t do sound at home

I just can't get enough bandwidth for streaming. I'm happy if I get 28k on this dial-up.

You know, that's a good idea actually. I tell everybody that I've got enough stuff and don't need gifts for birthdays, etc. But if they insist, then I tell them it must fit within the following criteria:

Eat it
Drink it
Read it
Listen to it

Can't go wrong with those guidelines.

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 10:53 pm

Yeah Zule, listened to it a few days ago. It's about an hour and 4 minutes, and is a good discussion about some of the questions people ask, as well as a lot of questions asked here on eplaya. You'd only be able to listen to half of it on your lunch break, but half is better than none!

Oh boo hoo, that's not cold. It was cold here last night. (-11 not including wind chill)

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 10:59 pm

Yeah, as far as gifts go in town, I always get art supplies. I burn through alot of notebooks, pens, and materials. It's great, like coals to the fire.
I have a theoretical question: How hard do you think it would be to get a JoTS blue booth at your campsite? Not saying I'd want one, but I wonder...do you think people would be jealous if you had your own porto?

Sweet Mother of Pearl that's cold, blue! How is Antartica these days? Scenery still look good? What about the wildlife, much or not as much?

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 11:01 pm

Z, I might be able to get a copy on tape for you if you're interested. I just happen to know someone who was there at the taping.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 11:02 pm

So CLARKcon...

You do electronic music, is that correct? Like compose it?

Well, not Antartica just Minnesota. I haven't seen much wildlife lately, though Z may have seen some recently.

Yeah LCN. I have a few keyboards. I'm not traditionally inclined, but have learned some chords. Mainly, I love making beats/rythems. The project I'm working on right now is called "Crush". I'm doing the drumtracking/narration and a gentlemen named Chris Haines is doing accompaniment on it. He's in a band called the vulcan freedom fighters, and he's sending the riffs via MP3 from Barcelona to add into the mix. Way cool, soundscore.

eagles still hunting along the river, rabbits and squirrels still trying to avoid them, but that’s just city life here....

I’m getting sleepy , sleepy my eyes lids are getting heavy , I’m so tired there is nothing I’d rather do than let my eyes close and feel the warm sweet feeling of sleep wash over me, on the count of three I will be asleep .,,,, Good night all,,,,,

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 11:09 pm

LeChat, do you play at all? Guitar, etc?

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 11:10 pm

Good night Z.

Yea, I should be going to. I'm freezing and need to go crawl under some blankets.

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 11:11 pm

(CLARK stops swinging the pocketwatch on a chain in front of Zulegoona) Night Z!

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 11:11 pm

Neato... I’m fascinated by electronic soundscapes. I really enjoy “Echoes” on the radio.

Ever heard of Heights of Abraham? Good electronica from the early 90's I think they just put out a new CD in January after more than ten years.

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 11:15 pm

Night blue! (gives her a super-duty industrial electric blanket)
LeChat, sounds interesting. Yeah, I like really cerebral, yet somehow coherent tunes. The stuff I make if had to classify it would be electronic alternative, but it's definitily not techno, as not a whole lot of the instruments loop.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 11:15 pm

Nite Blue and Z... sleep well.

CLARKcon wrote:LeChat, do you play at all? Guitar, etc?

I enjoy percussion, both hand and otherwise. Mess around with a couple of homemade didges. Used to play bass guitar, but haven’t in a long while. Got a nice fiddle waiting to teach me a thing or two also, but I’ve yet to give it the chance.

I've got Acid Music 5.0 and play around with that some, but use it to record stuff more than compose.

Most of what I relax to I’d classify as ambient, or downtempo. I enjoy House music, but always come back to that dreamy textured stuff. Is this sort of what you're talking about?

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 11:20 pm

That's sweetness. I read Electronic Musician everyonce in a while, but haven't even started into the software format -too intimadating. Yeah hand drumming's a blast. I was an open-mic director for two years at a musuem of art. The first hour was readings, skits, etc. The second hour was drumming/bellydancing. It was a long narrow room, and with 9 drummers and about 6 dancers, it was like an audio hurricane. The reverb was like a fever pitch. Yeah, define "intense"...

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 11:22 pm

Yeah, ambient is good. I like good studio music, also what I call "headphone music", something to get into the zone while working on a project. Melodic and simple!
