Welcome. I’m Blake Albinson and I belong to Bullet Lodge , a regional chapter of a speed composition society called Immersion Compostion Society , or ICS.The idea in Bullet Lodge is that every month each Lodge member, or sibling, chooses one day where they write, arrange, and record as many songs as possible in those 24 hours, minimum of 6 songs. Special rules have been adopted to allow for "Marathoning", in which you owe one additional song for every 4 hours you stay awake after the first 24 hours without sleep. Then, in a secret and mysterious set of rites and passages, and with plenty hummus and fondue, we convene and show each other what we’ve got.If any musician is reading this, I urge you at once to do this. You’ll surprise yourself in ways you never thought you could surprise yourself (surprising?).You’re welcome to check out The Gallery for a full showing of over 80 "songs" (all freely downloadable) .
The Gallery serves as public repository for the goods and wares of sibling Albinson. Therein, you will get a comprehensive tasting of the many musical flavors which arise from self-inflicted time pressure, sleep deprivation, obsession, forced output, and general creative absurdity. Enjoy!
New: Now check out The Blake Albinson Music Person on Facebook !
However my main musical ’occupation’ is Bubblemath .
