all points in between... The musical content contained herein is not indicative of the new Claude sound that all the kids aren't talking about. No. I haven't written a note in 2 years. I've been working sporadically with my improvisational rock band, Tennis Roberts. And sporadically working is the best way to improvise. My musical tastes have really changed quite a bit. I've always been a fan of an ample amount of progressive, fusion, and art rock, but a few years ago I really smashed my head on the prog rock. The "Zeuhl" and "RIO" sub-genres of art-rock being my new found favorite, if I have to boil it down to an essence. It's a good time to be a progressive rock dork. Both Magma and Univers Zero have appeared on this side of the pond in the past few years. Discovering this music and being able to see these orchestras that are decades old is quite visceral, to say the least. The current music posted here is indicative of phase 1 of Claude. You may notice the progression of the music from "indie rock" to "indie prog". These labels (in fact) (may) only make sense to me. The introduction of a few unconventional time signatures, or other vague elements. A fat, greasy, "analog" synthesizer belching it's squelch at an audience of no one. The compositions are unrelated. They live in the same dwelling, but do not communicate. In the works... down the turnpike... a trilogy is in development. Three. This trilogy is based on the Black Plague epidemic between 1347 and 1353. 1. Infection 2. Death 3. Rebirth
