Finishing I ::
Three weeks ago I finished going through my recording archives looking for things most in need of being rescued from decay. I restored/remastering my 10 favorites, which turned out to be, on the whole, much more composed and less improvisatory than Accidental Beauties. I threw together some art, printed it on my inkjet printer, made 10 CDs, and sent them off to friends in time for Christmas. I thought I was just going to post a web page with full-length MP3's and be done with it, but then I realized that personally, I prefer a tangible CD to digital media taking up hard disk space and despite “CD-quality” (cough) compression. Who wants to download 50 MB? (Well ... my brother did.)
So I’ll be making some more copies and inflicting them on the world (even if that means just giving copies to more friends and trading with other musicians)—fortunately, this is a much saner proposition than it used to be; I’m going to try a place that does small duplication runs with color laser printing and high-quality CD-R’s. More to do before it’s finished.
