I was not feeling well for a couple of days.
I am doing better now.
While making a mixtape for a friend, yesterday, I was listening to many musical duos and one-man-bands.
It got me thinking of ways that I could condense songs written for a five-piece group into a one-man-band format.
Not something I relish doing.
But, I feel like it is a matter of necessity, if I am ever going to get anything substantial done soon.
One-man-bands commonly are one person who sings and plays guitar while drumming with their feet.
My foot coordination is TERRIBLE, though.
I am working on ways around little problems like that.
But, basically, I will be playing bass & singing through my usual odd setup (it may be a little stripped-down for live performing) and playing my hodgepodge junk drum set, the ShitKit.
The original ShitKit got hauled away, mistakenly, awhile ago.
So, I am working on building a better one, a new-and-improved “ShitKit 2.0”.
It may be a slow, gradual, process.
Some pieces are cheap or free.
Others are a little pricey.
But, I will get it finished, eventually.
Anyway, I may alternate between the bass or drums.
I may play some parts simultaneously, if I can.
I will probably require my Dictaphone machine and taped drum machines, samples, keyboards, whatever.
I will work it out, somehow.
The first issue of “Thee Urban SpaceCat (CassetteZine)” will likely contain some of this material inside.
I will try to get that out as soon as I can.
The most common hurdle, for me, is financing.
But, maybe i can find cheaper ways of getting it done.
Later,
