Breaking Light at Other Texas Music 4/30/10

What a joy. I love these opportunities to play BL to an attentive, appreciate group, such as that that assembled in the Fort Worth Community Arts Center last Friday night. Herb Levy did a fine job of assembling an amazing group of sound and performance artists in a very short length of time. He's one of my local heroes now, for promoting "uncommon" local music artists.

RPM Challenge Texas listening party

As the lights slowly go out at rpmchallenge.com, the Texas cadre had our last gasp, late (the world-wide party was on March 27) but great, at the Burleson Borders Books last night. Attending were:

Dennis Coble (Love Light Shine/Bad Dr.)
Kavin (Kavin.s Acoustic Church/Breaking Light/Love Light Shine)
Michelangelo
Lyndell Brown (Fist Full of Java)
Jonathan Rippe
Samantha Wrinkle (A GIrl Named Sam/Clever Things)

The range, quality and creativity these folks put into their albums during last February is nothing short of amazing.

Here's a video of the jam we had to close the night.

the iPod app project

My original intent for the RPM Challenge this year was to do a non-guitar album using only apps on the iPod Touch. That didn't work out, I ended up just doing a "live" album (see below).

So now I'm gonna do it, for betters or worst. I may add some stretched guitar here and there but it'll be mostly app driven. Here's the playlist. Will be adding to this over time.
