the (as yet) unmade

in

In the throes of limbo on two metal projects so here’s a list of things I’ve yet to make that I want to make:

  • a series / gaggle of weird little zines

  • a graphic novella (with or without a collaborator, though i'd prefer the former)

  • a narrative short film

  • a novella

  • a large metal dinosaur

  • a damn good track / ep that eschews my institutionalized music composition reflexes for the same visceral and improvisational central to my totally clueless – and intentionally ignorant – metalworking practice.

Do I have any of these in me still? I'd like to believe I do (99.99% that large metal dinosaur is happening this summer), but time will tell.

Teaching myself bass: always meant to learn, never got around to it. Finally dove in when, as I got further with my drumming return, I found that the fingers on my left hand were pretty much useless - and remembered that running scales on a guitar or piano always helped. So, to merge the rhythm and the melodic(ish) - and check off a bucket list instrument - bass. Her name is bamAlam.
