It took most of the age of humanity to mark the first billion in 1804 and more than a century to mark the second. But now the world is adding a billion every dozen years or so." As humanity continues its population crescendo, each new face pops into view as another blinking LED on the great input volume meter, pushing ever farther into the red, occaisionally peaking out with a fuzz of distortion or a squeak of feedback. This planet is a living sound system and it's inhabitants are musicians sometimes scattered randomly, sometimes assembled carefully, playing in an orchestra so huge, its members often don't know which part they are playing-- its monitor system so inadequate, the players often never hear each other-- its melodies so diverse and divergent as to make its own song seem alien in origin. An assembly impossible to conduct, the planet faithfully relies on the musicianship, taste and ingenuity of its many individual living parts to seek some kind of harmony, however dissonant, which can express its own true nature. Our challenge then as musicians is to listen with attentive absorption, then play with dedicated grace.

Quite a departure from the typical HATFYR live configuration, Double Bust supplants Lbill's drum kit with The Lbill Machine: a musical instrument which links various professional and toy electronic instruments and devices to form an at-your-fingertips total electronic music factory, which provides an electronic runway for extended flights of our guitar/cello-based pop songs. It's a moodier, deeper and more fluid interpretation; composed songs fractal into unrecognizable shapes, while improvisations consolidate into recognizable forms. We love new technology and all of the wonderful musical tools and toys that have become available over the last few decades of the space age. Double Bust is an expression of that love, and of the desire to always blend opposites in the pursuit of harmony: old and new, electronic and acoustic, magnets and lasers, composition and improvisation. _________________________ [Unsubscribe: Just reply with "BYE BUDDY" in the subject and see you never!] [Subscribe: Please mailto:hat...@slip.net with "HIYA PAL" in the subject and Thank you!] [Tell two friends: If you like what you hear, forward this message and Thank you!] [Elevator Pop Gallery: 1510 25th Street, SF, CA 94107] -- H ERE ugene ARETH e n l a r g e d f o r e a s y l i s t e n i n g EFACTSYO realAudio > http://www.slip.net/~hatfyr 415.282.7456 UREQUESTED New CD "Shocks+Struts" available from > http://www.amazon.com Voted among the Top 20 Bay Area Albums of 1998 by KUSF 90.3 FM! > http://www.usfca.edu/kusf/onair/1998-dj-top10.html
