It's All Gone Weird

Don't know much about this person. They sent me a friend request on facebook today and I listened to their album. Prepared acoustic bass guitar, electronics, field recordings, free improvisation, etc. Quite nice! Aoki Satoru "Juli" - https://tototod.bandcamp.com/album/juli Sorry I haven't posted in a while. My partner and I are being evicted from our home/studio, which we've been in for the past 20 years. Just sorting through all of our belongings, thinning things out, and trying to figure out where we are going to live is taking most of my time. Wish us luck. With things the way they are these days, we're going to need lots of it! - W.A.Davison

As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I have an audio installation in a large-scale surrealist exhibition in France called "Merveilleuse Utopie" . The opening for the exhibition is tonight at 7pm at Maison Andre Breton in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, France and the exhibition will continue from July 6 to Sept. 7, 2024. Do check out the exhibition if you get a chance and best wishes to my surrealist compatriots in France! - W.A.Davison

I will be performing a solo prepared guitar set at The Tranzac on Sunday, May 12, 2:30 pm. It's been a long time since I've made an appearance as a guitarist...one may wonder if I even am a guitarist. Catch my set this Sunday and you may continue to wonder!
