About Me

'Aye Aye Eyes', uploaded Aug 08. This beautiful real-time composed melody features Mark on guitar.'She Started It' was spontaneously instigated by Cara on guitar, fueled by Bryan on synth, Bret takes his wah to duel, and loses.'So Long Red' and 'Lots of Mules' feature Bryan on lap steel guitar, and drums. "Elmore James got nothin' on this, baby." ---------- Big Thirsty Towels began as the experimental multi-loop project BrotherSync in 1999.Meeting by way of 'Looper's Delight' (http://www.loopers-delight.com/loop.html) there was a musical get together of loopers in Boulder.To see what would happen.During these musical sessions the warp evolved with Oberheim Echoplex Digital Delay, electro harmonix 16 second delay, Lexicon Jamman.Influences and instruments absorbed, there was no discussion about what to play or how to play, they just played. No one assigned a particular role, it just happened.Threads became songs.The Towels weave a diverse musical background with a common interest in composing and recording music in real time.Big Thirsty Towels' plan: There is no plan.
