MATURE FRUIT/GROWING SEASON HANDMADE PACKAGING

Totally completed.
Finished a couple weeks ago or so,
but I was waiting for the holiday to end
to mail out about a dozen.
And waiting on some email replies
as well.

A couple weekends ago,
I picked my personal favorites
and took them on their very own photo shoot
in the leaves
in my backyard.

Now I need to get my ass in gear,
address all the boxes
and visit the post office.

THE PIANO

Today they delivered
my parent's piano.
Oh Joy!

With the leftover five bucks 
I bought Kris some tulips.

Thanks Mom and Dad.
We will enjoy it.

CD PACKAGING

I am in the process 
of printing a cutting 
CD sleeves 
for two of my releases.

These sleeves then go into 
their own sleeve 
of cover paper 
from a collection of paper 
that I have had laying in a box 
from school.

When I get further along 
I will take more photos of 
the finished product.

NEW KEYBOARD/SETUP

Went to Denton 
and Tomo loaned me
a keyboard that someone gave to him.

When he saw it at my house,
he saw how much I liked it
so he said I could keep it.

CEMETARIES

so i decided to get
a lot of equipment
set up..

got one quarter inch
and
hooked the mic up
to the MR-8
through input
number 1.

into the AB-2 i
split
the CTK-481 in A
and
the Epiphone in B.
The AB-2 then
passes through
the flower pedals:
the TR-2,
DS-1,
RV-3,
and
RC-2
pedals.
this all feeds
into the MR-8
through input
number 2.

a stereo cable
exits out of the MR-8
from phone jack
number 1
to the Spider 111 15.

in a minute i will
hook
the around-ear headphones
up to the Spider 111 15
that is once
I unplug them
from the M-Audios.

Write now i am real lee liking down there.

GRUNT TUBE



Awkward and uncomfortable,
yet appealing.

Jamie creates music that feels
absolutely personal.


Wish I could distinct the difference in their voices..

I'M YOUR DREAMS

<a href="http://duanealmond.bandcamp.com/track/im-your-dreams">I'm Your Dreams by Duane Almond</a>

Filled the one minute gap
at the beginning of
'I'm Your Dreams'.

Thought this was very necessary
if I am releasing a tape,
so someone won't miss
one of the best songs
on 'Mature Fruit.'

GROWING SEASON


The Growing Season is the period of each year when native plants and ornamental plants grow; and when crops can be grown.

This is a companion piece
to my earlier release
Mature Fruit.

These songs combine my
childlike rhythm
and soothing guitar play.

I soon will be selling this
as a double EP on
cassette and CD.

This collection of songs was recorded
during the months of
April through July, 2010.

Tracklist:
01. Upright 1:15
02. Pretzels & Vegetables 4:14
03. Deep Tissue 2:28
04. The Difference 3:07
05. Bear Cans 1:44
06. Underwater Bottle 3:25
07. Baby Day 4:02
