"I was walking through Capitol Hill, Seattle one weekend, and encountered an abandoned piano at the side of the road. I decided it needed a final piece of loving, so I recorded it in my phone. The next week I found the piano had been joined by a second, and both pianos had had their keyboards smashed. So I played the strings directly. Both pieces reflect the decay and misuse of the pianos, and the environment they spent a short time in before going to their final resting place."
Antipatterns shows on Mixcloud
I've started putting old Antipatterns shows on Mixcloud. I'll be putting some up each weekend until I'm at the point where I'm posting each show to Mixcloud after it's broadcast on Hollow Earth Radio.

Hollow Earth Radio’s Surrealist Song Project is a method by which a collection of four recorded musical tracks are assembled to make one song. Participants have a chance to make up a portion of a song on the spot, in a similar way to writing an "Exquisite Corpse Poem."
To do this, we use a recording setup with various instrument options. Once an instrument is chosen, participants strap on headphones and begin recording their own track, with the rule that they can only listen to one of the previously recorded tracks. After four tracks are recorded, they are combined together to make a song. Postmoderncore organized the recording equipment, facilitating the recording, and mixed down the tracks.
These tracks were recorded at the 6th Annual DIY Holiday Fair - A Benefit for Hollow Earth Radio & The Vera Project on December 14, 2013.
