Take Stuff from Work
May 11, 2010 11:26 AM
A small bit of comfort for those of us who still need to have a day job.
A King Missile cover, I've been sitting on this recording for quite some time (just over a year, which is something like three lifetimes in Gyrophonia years); we'd initially planned to do a re-take, or at least use the opening solo in something else, but it never came to fruition.
Pardon the raspy vocals, I was still recovering from the flu I've mentioned before.
INSTRUMENTATION:
Timbill (William A. Corder, aka me): Vocals, Effects
Tréteque (V. Y. Beauregard III, aka man vs sun): Guitar
Pheatherwäit (Melissa M. Burcham): Flute
Major Tom (Tommy Scheurich): Viola Brucia

It's not the first King Missile/John S Hall we've done. For a while, we toyed with the idea of redoing Fluting on the Hump in its entirety. I think we're trying to mostly move beyond covers, as a band/collective.

The opening solo is truly inspired. The rest is equal genius. I only know King Missile by their most popular detachment, but I might need to learn more... I take shit from work all the time.
I especially like the loose meter in this song that can only come from intimate and immediate improvisation. Unless you are tricking me with prodigious expert overdubs...

One day, we'll aspire to be able to pull that sort of thing off in post-production. This was really just a throwaway track during an especially fertile period of King Missile listening.
As I will pretend to recall, the conversation was simply:

As I will pretend to recall, the conversation was simply:
Timbill: Hey, let's do Take Stuff From Work.This was a rare case where I thought I could do the guitar part in a fashion similar to the original.
Tréteque: K, Dibs on guitar!
Pheatherwäit: What do I play, flute?
Timbill: Sure. And we need to start with a viola solo.
Major Tom: Okay.

I thought it was in a pretty strict 1/8. I dunno, I wasn't really paying attention.

I forgot how much I liked King Missile twenty years ago.
