about

This collection of recordings are the closest I've come to compositions.

After finding the image of the Cabbage (created and kindly permitted by Iloilo Mizuguchi), I played the drum tracks over the days of February 11th to 14th. Then, after deciding to call the album CABBAGE, I got the idea to use the letters of the word--C A B B A G E--as the notes of melodies determined by a chance operation.

To "compose" the melodies, I wrote the letters/notes C, A, B, Bb, G, E and Eb on some blank white card. Then, I drew a grid of six columns by six rows, for the six drum tracks I had. For each box of each row, I shuffled and pulled a card. Then I put the card back in, reshuffled and repulled. 36 Notes. The six notes of each row became the "melody" that I would use and improvise off of. I allowed my hands and muses to make use of other non-melody notes, because they know better than I do what's needed in the moment of enactment.

The sax layers were recorded between 2/15 and 2/18.

The titles of the first six tracks come from the six notes/letters used as their melodies.

Track 7 uses the same drum layer as track 4. I planned to layer the sax sounds, but it didn't work.
