RR1 @ WP

I’ll be actively posting music, videos and pictures, commentary and what ever else here. I’ll put the link up on fb, but I will probably be fazing off of there again. It seems pretty dead and is in decline for sure. Same people post all the time. The rest of the people never post.

Keep posted here with me. It’ll be fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ll also be uploading from my iPod so I can hit you all up with whatever I may be doing.

Utopian Times 3/20/12

Sound collage recorded onto cassette tape using three cassette dictaphones, iPod, found recordings and tape speed manipulation.
There’s many reasons why I like making sound collage tapes. First, it’s a creative act which is always my #1 free time well spent. It’s also political to mash different sounds together and create unique contexts by combining unusual source material. I have a large stack of tapes of myself playing improv noise guitar, psychedelic jams with my friends, found sounds I record and found tapes I get at the Community Thrift Store. I have recently been using three I pod apps iTabla, Animoog and Funkbox which I run simultaneously. Utopian Times is mine and RX’s quest for musical synchronicity. Sometimes it is magical, other times it’s the grok/buildup to the magic. Once synchronicity is achieved it’s like a Tibetan sand mandala that is appreciated for a moment then wiped out and a new approach is begun. I love noise/experimental/trance enducing alpha wave art music. Most people don’t get it which makes this journey special. Its political in this sense too because of the impression it leaves on the unsuspecting listener. Even a bad reaction to this is positive to me. It’s like picking up multiple radio stations on a shortwave with several different languages going simultaneously.

Rabbles Live

Come see the Rabs first gig of 2012.  The Elbo Room has a great sound system, so this’ll be a fun experience for us and for you.

$5 Bux, cheep.

Rabbles @ the Hemlock Sat. 10/22/11

I’ve been away from this blog for a while now. Been busy as always/ever working on the new batch of Rabbles tunes, getting the live set together, doing some livestream broadcasting, playing noise guitar in the Clarion Alley and meeting lots of like minded people online from all over. Exciting times. I want to rant less and be at peace and acceptance more while still pushing forward into new artistic territory and illumination. So how the heck are you. Ha.

Thanks to John Hell for having me and being down for letting me create a heinous ruck over the airwaves/internet.

Utopian Times w/captjrab & RX Sloan Sat. 7/30/11 10:00 PM PDT

We are constantly recording found sounds, improvisations, jams w/our friends and videos of weird/interesting psychedelic images. Utopian Times is RX and my attempt to put all this lo fi media together on a quest for heightened awareness and mind expansion/reprogramming through art, music, random chance and synchronicity.
