Willy August Project

Jeremy's other band the Willie August Project had been getting some good pub lately, including nomination's for Best Electric Jazz Group/Artist, Best Jazz Recording from the Minnesota Music Academy.

You can get the record from their site, here here or here.



Excerpted from the Minneapolis City Pages Article:
"Siems and drummer Jeremy Hauer are the Willie August Project (named for Siems's grandfather), and in six years of playing together, they've developed a strong mid-range telepathy resulting in subtle, seamless music that, while not shattering any great boundaries, bridges gaps between such things as structure and freedom. Joined here by bassists Scot Hornick and Jim Chenoweth, as well as pianist Laura Caviani for two tracks, the Willie August Project offers consistently inventive improvisation on this direct-to-two-track session of original tunes."

Good Luck Fella's!

PowerUps

Things are moving...slooooow.

In the meantime I picked up some side work doing Music and Sound Design for a coupla video games...and on that note.



The PowerUps totally rocked my world last night.
This band cover's classic video game music with high energy committment to the anthematic soundtracks to your (my) favorite childhood (adulthood) pastime.

Highlghts inclued, but not limited to, music from SuperMario Brothers, Defender of the Crown, Metroid, Dragons Lair, and Ms. Pacman.

If they're coming to your town, it's a gauranteed thrill ride of nostalgia for (us) aging gamers who were there when it all went down.

Cheg eet oud!

Buckminster Fuller

Yesterday I dug into some Buckminster (Bucky) Fuller info cataloged out on the web.
Mentioning him to several people throughout the day ellicited blank stares and a resounding

"Who?"

Short answer is the guy who came up with the Geodesic dome.
The longer list includes Buckyballs (or Buckminsterfullerenes) Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth TETRASCROLL Goldielocks & the Three Bears: A Cosmic Fairy Tale, and just generally having a forward thinking concept of the world we live in and how to interact with it.



If you've never heard of him, you will soon , now's the time to check him out!


Me, i'll be reading.
Stay good til then!
