if you're the type to look back and contemplate at this particular time of year, here's a look back at a contemplative drone set from our archive. guitarist chelsea gray was probably the hottest ticket in the STL experimental scene back in the summer of 2017, after crushing an absolutely stunning debut set at way out weirdo wednesday #18. she's been on extended sabbatical exploring other interests and investing in her young family for quite some time, but she has assured us on numerous occasions that she's not done yet. for this set she composed two short bowed pieces, and then brought up your dude davelybob to moog up a duo improvisation. also on the bill that night was st. michael, honeydew, and particle devotion all the way from baton rouge. goooooood times.

Our feed has been a bit dry lately.  Here is a little something to moisten the membrane.  I made this one many moons ago.  Up to this point, I had been mostly recording songs on my Tascam 424 mkii.  This was the first song I made using a DAW.  It's just me fiddling with some guitar, bass, drums, and some shakers; but this track has a special place in my pterodactyl heart.  I don't think this song is out there anywhere, but Davelybob slipped part of the ending into an early episode.  The saga continues..   Your pal, chad
