I was just hipped to this incredibly creative video/music creator by @Tim Thompson (another amazingly inventive visual/audio artist from the South Bay). This person is really creatively quirky!I just subscribed to Imagination Rabbit (Z) https://t.co/cJSOdjPRIy

@zoecello Now the answer is no, Zoe,
EXCEPT the younger generation that will vote for the first time-2024. They've never known a world w/o cell phones but they voted in unprecedented numbers in the MidTerm elections and 70% of thei vote was Progressive ... not Democratic, Progressive

@expertsleepers @ianboddy <chuckle> I use to as well! DOH!

We’re serious about not investing in companies that cave to the extremist agenda of the @GOP.

I just finished two and a half weeks of stimulating gigging and recording with Guadalajara, Mexico looping artists, Eliud Ernandes and Lizeth Ruvalcaba.
I spend a few hours editing recording experimental recording sessions with Liz..........some great stuff to come.

@looperlative What a thing of beauty!
Nice work, Bob!

The rain, 'playing' the ancient Timpani drum I have outside of my performance/rehearsal studio.
The deepest notes are large drops coming from the eves of the studio....the rest is the pitter patter of the heavy raing that's happening.

What a beautiful day, out in the hot sun; with a Tribute to the Live Loopers of Mexico with four wonderful sets from Los Hijos de Dona Loope (aka Marcos Garcia Fregoso), George Demarest, Pedeplei (aka Israel Pena) and Lizeth Ruvalcaba.

[Rick Walker @RickWalkerLOOP]

The artists have arrive from Mexico and Japan and the festival begins tomorrow at the Anno Domini Gallery (366 South 1st St., San Jose) at 7:00 pm.
This is the first in person festival since lockdown.

ooops..........posted the wrong video:
Here 'tis:
SILICON FINGER PROTECTOR MALLETS #1
The first in a series of Drum, Cymbal and Percussion instrument 'Preparations' and assorted Drum Hacks

[Rick Walker @RickWalkerLOOP]

I've always been interested in 'preparing' drums, cymbals and percussion, not unlike how the musical movement of 'prepared' guitar works. So, here is my first in a series of simple, creative drum hacks and 'preparartions'. Please send some back.

I get to do an improvisational duo gig with this guy on Saturday at Abbott Square from 7:00 to 9:30.

@Hainbach101 A Nagra and a Kalimba............so sweet.
It's funny, but, having been a performing found sound, live looping artist for 27 years now, I've noticed that all the metallaphones seem to really love to be looped and manipulated (forwards, reversed, 1/4, 1/2, double,quadruple)

[Rick Walker @RickWalkerLOOP]

@looperlative All the improvements you've put into both the LP1 and the LP2 are amazing, Bob!

@zoecello The system is criminally rigged to make corporations/executives and shareholders obscene amounts of money. I had to go to the emergency room in Firenze, Italy...11 hours in ER, multiple scans , xrays and 5 doctors: no insurance
$60 was my payment.

@KendrickPerkins Blame culture is toxic in professional sports.
Teams lose sometimes. Teams get creamed some times. Almost every team in the league has got a super star playing with them. Without Curry, Green and Thompson, the Warriors are just young, superstar-less team. Ease up, Perkins.
