about

The drums for "The Zen Of Thrift Shopping" were actually recorded even before the drums for "A Handful Of Ashes", as the sound track for my friend Jeffrey Von Ragan's short film of me looking at pot lids and and other items at a local thrift store, for the purpose of making percussion out of them. Only the beginning three minutes of the drum track was used for the film, and I wanted to see if I could make a full piece out of it. Every note of this has been gone over multiple times, with sections added, dropped or moved until it felt flowing and complete to me. (There was actually a completely different set of tracks overlaying the drums at one point, but I wasn't pleased with them. So I scrapped about 95% and started over.) It functions much more like a classical piece than a song- there is very little repeated structure, it morphs moment to moment. It took a while, but I'm pleased with the result, and hope you will be too.
