The first thing that comes to mind is some of Frank Zappa's early psychedelic weirdness (like the Freak Out section on the eponymous album).

Ha, that's probably 90% of my noodling. "Let's just throw sounds at the wall, see what sticks!"

Does it count as Novembeat if I remastered an older songfight entry? I tried to make Liquid Starshine sound better.

I mean, you can call it one if you want to, I guess.

I got derailed by a cold last week which I still have. Then we went to LA last weekend for a wedding. Next week it's up to Oregon for Thanksgiving. I may be done. :(

I'd like to think I can manage another three tracks and make it to ten in total, especially since I already have two things started. Ten is a nice number.

I'm not quite done yet! After having to go out of town and having packed everything up, I pulled all my gear back out and now knowing the setup I had arrived at last time I managed to arrange the devices and cables in a better cleaner way this time. I'm still puzzling over how best to route things through effects and wishing I had more effects pedals. Also more arms!! I tried to have some basic patterns going that piled on each other in interesting ways and switched between playing a melodic part and messing with settings. Anyway, here's another live jam.

I've fallen behind a bit since I've been sick and in pain again but hopefully I'll start up again soon.

Another kinda phoned-in one, trying to get back in the groove but I'm still having a fibro flareup

Little piano thing, finishing off the other partly-recorded idea I had in reserve. Hopefully time for one or two more this week because I'm away for my mum's birthday next weekend. Definitely want to make it to 10 tracks / half-an-hour if possible!



Sam, particularly enjoyed your #12!

Lucky number 13! I really like how this one turned out and it's all live. I feel like I'm starting to find a groove with this live thing.

Well, I've made it to ten! But not to half an hour, which was my other target, so I'll hopefully do another one to finish off this week.
