Luma and Chroma Lite 20080105

Last night, I was goofing around on my gee-tar trying out various jazz chords that I had learned the night before. Kari asked me to sing her a song. I don't sing. I proceeded to attempt to sing this little falsetto ditty. It was horrible. I continued goofing around on the guitar making little pop riffs and such. This inspired Kari to ask me to go play music with her. Here's the result. It's somewhere between Luma and Chroma style and Surrent style cuz I was screwing around with my EBow and occasionally creating loops. Cuz cuz cuz cuz cuZ cuz.

Luma and Chroma - demo number one

I play in a band called Luma and Chroma along with my girlfriend and sister. We consider ourselves to be improvisational minimal post-rock, whatever that means... We typically head into a practice session with just a very basic chord structure and let it evolve from there. Usually it's very listenable. Sometimes it's transcendent. Occasionally it's godawful and we go cut ourselves afterwards. This was recorded live in my living room on 20070715 and 20070716 and released in August. Other than fixing a few levels and removing some extraneous noises, nothing has been modified so there are a few wrong notes and things, but I think it came out alright.

Kari J - Piano
Jess H - Electronic Drums, Monosynth on One
