Tristan Perich























Stan sent over the webpage for this musician who is operating on the edge of something - soldering live circuits during the performance? heavens! except this sounds cool and not too contrived like most performance art bullshit. Wait, I take that back, Stan. I just listened to three of his youtube videos and they weren't really listenable. Bad drumming to boot. The Rhythm and Noise movement has long roots in NYC back to Lunch and James Chance but this one doesn't swing...

not just pissy because you dissed my slideshow...

hmmmm....that first track is fantastic and I LOVE the fact that his first edition was made of chips mounted on cd cases....so I do not agree....it is not about banging on a can...did you listen to the first piece
Rhe one with the strings? There weren't any drums on it and it reminded me of John Adams....o well, that is what makes the horse race...as for your pissiness....I have told you before to edit before you send out your images....and I meant it and still do....and by all means, get your technology crap in order...you can do it in iPhotos in the EXPORT section...you do not even have to mess around the rez issues....call me next time....or SOMEBODY!
I Love YOU, you big lug!
Off to walk my dog in the wildness of Central PArk where a few nights ago, she caught a raccoon...it was like a bad cartoon with a giant fur ball/blurry...luckily nobody got hurt. There is a 1000 dollar fine in NYC for injuring a raccoon--there is no fine for injuring a fucking dog...who makes this crap up????

You know - I just learned the technology this morning but see that there are a million potential ways to export - quicktime, avi, 264, all these compression settings - not knowing what to do, I just went for it - something seriously wrong, especially in full screen and the music isn't really germane as my wife pointed out. Then again, overusing an overused metaphor once again, making sausage aint pretty and I don't care if you watch me or not. I am learning tools and don't mind being exposed. The age of great art is over- 15 minutes of fame has a new shelf life of twenty seconds. So lets all amuse ourselves and have fun. Toast marshmallows on the embers and all that.

Sorry about the raccoon fight - I bet your dog feels mighty puffed up!
