Having basses in the house makes me want to write songs with bass guitar in them. So I did:

Subnodule
Featuring J-bass!
982k zipped mp3
"Subnodule", incidentally, is the name of a game Kris and I used to play on the Apple IIc at his house in the '80s. It was pretty good, with green underwatery creatures coming at you from all angles, and nice chewing-on-glass sounds when you shot a nodule by accident. Strangely enough, it was written by John Romero (He was on the team who made that "DOOM" game, and later "Quake", predisposing millions of schoolchildren towards slaughtering their classmates.)("Subnodule" was obviously responsible, in a similiar manner, for video-game playing kids of my generation going berzerk and slaughtering huge schools of jellyfish with torpedos).

Playing the whole thing puts me to sleep. The tonality of the music is like being deep under the surface. (except for the beginning part where the sidstation is "warming up") That's pretty much how I feel today: cold, drifting, and under several hundred tons of something.

Abha is moving away, going back to Michigan to be with her ailing Dad. Sean is going too (this really sucks - there go half of my audio engineering friends), so last night we had a little get together to see them off. There were several InterNAP folks there, a decidedly geek element. (Evidence of this was given when we found the ashtrays at Charlie's and were postulating about their purpose (I suggested "One-use cymbals", which was universally heard as "1-U cymbals.").) One of the guys there, I think it was a Mark, told me about something called EL wire, a technology which has hundreds of obvious amusing uses. So, if someone sees what appears to be a green, hidden-line wireframe car driving around seattle, that would probably be me.

Ack, it is February already. Time for a new layout?!?! But this one is so cool.
