UPDATE JUNE 2008--links are active, new website is up but still a w.i.p.
this thing, in a way, started with a quick search through a software support forum. this particular forum was for a recording suite, and was populated by musicians, engineers, artists, poets, crazies, drunkards, magnificent bastards, enthusiastic supporters, geniuses...
geoff went looking for answers, along the way discovering the denizens had a penchant for making music via file sharing.
he couldn't wait to become involved, and his baptism is evidenced by the two dobro solos on the song
"easy" written and performed by a seattle poet who proved to be a brother from the same karass...
from there, experiments began, with respect to home recording, file sharing, communication via the fourth dimension, telepathy, respect, dobro layering, resophonic insinuation, harmonic balance, madness...
geoff blew his already inflated alter-ego "number6" to "orchestra" status, and has a growing group of fine collaborators who really only know each other through the visceral experience of crafting air into sound.
the presentations here, and at our home site, reflect a learning curve, but there is music, and that's a start:
