Last Sunday night Amy and I had the pleasure of being barbecue guests in the Malibu home of the fabulous task master who is finishing our cd. The home/studio over looks the pacific in what must be called nothing less than breath taking. The food was delicious, there were small children running around speaking w/ glorious English accents, behaving themselves in ways we are lead to believe children cannot behave.
The highlight for me came from the depths of their long empty swimming pool. In the deep end they had a band called "lives of the saints" perform. These are not your average guitar Joes, they've worked with the likes of Eno. They perform using all sorts of effects and delays, and a foot controlled boomerang sampler. They make beautiful ambient music with just two guitars and these amazing effects racks.
Taking a clue from the pillows and blankets lying in a heap on the shallow end floor Amy and I crawled in and laid flat on our backs. Looking up and seeing stars while swimming in thick fluid sound was just what my little tired heart needed.
