2001 Cortes Island Improvised Trio: Laurel, Rhiannon, Ysaye Barnwell
A quick improvised experiment created on the tjoon site (low res, built-in mic.) Each quadrant is recorded one at a time and then posted to the site, at which point it can be added to by the creator or by others around the world. In this case, each frame contains one vocal part. I was having fun playing with the visual (holding my laptop in all sorts of dangerous positions) and going for a flower shape of heads when this fellow from France submitted a guitar accompaniment--amazing since it was after the fact and I wasn't tuned to an instrument. I loved his ideas so kept it. What fun to be able to collaborate with complete strangers!
Another improvised experiment on the tjoon site. All vocal, this time using a handheld mic (instead of the built-in.) Each quadrant consists of one vocal part (from right to left: long tone, harmony, vocal percussion, solo.) Voted one of 5 top tjoons of 2007/08. What a nice surprise. In this improvised experiment on the tjoon site, I am using voice and delay, then looping a pattern, all in the first frame (top left.) I am joined in the second frame (top right) by a fellow in France adding a rhythmic guitar part (too bad I didn't tune to the piano before starting, but he did pretty well at matching my tonal center.) Third frame is a mysterious fellow from I'm not sure where. He is playing slide guitar. 4th frame is blank. Amazing, this international collaboration through the ether!!! I love it. Early Recordings (1956): "Smilin' Through" sung by Lillian Murphy at 30 years old (with her Aunt Lillian on piano) Later Recordings (1992): "How are Things in Glocca Mora" sung by Lillian Murphy at 66 years old "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" sung by Lillian Murphy at 66 "Smile" a duet sung by Lillian Murphy at 66 years with Laurel Murphy (1992) 1992 songs arranged and recorded by Steve Soucy. Cheesy flute solo on "Smile" by Laurel Murphy.
