Giraffe Kingdom: Focusbird EP
http://giraffe-kingdom.blogspot.com/2011/08/focusbird-ep.html
Friday, August 19, 2011. One nice project I was involved with during my time at UCSB was a little band called Focusbird. We got our start playing house shows in Isla Vista with folk-oriented groups like the charming and talented Watercolor Paintings. This self-titled EP represents our six most frequently played songs - however, these recordings are more fleshed out in sound than what we used to perform live as a duo, thanks to the expert studio-direction of jazz pianist and composer Dory Bavarsky. You ca...

Giraffe Kingdom: October 2010
http://giraffe-kingdom.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 15, 2010. AFTA-1 - F O R M. AFTA-1 - F O R M. Dimlite's strange and colorful Prismic Tops. Teebs' stunningly beautiful Ardour. And Flying Lotus' undisputed masterpiece Cosmogramma.

But I digress; this post is really about a little gem of an album called F O R M. Works in the same general aesthetic, but this time everything is better, an impressi...

Giraffe Kingdom: January 2011
http://giraffe-kingdom.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 16, 2011. 2010 - Fifty Great Releases, 15 - 11. 15 William Basinski - Vivian and Ondine. William Basinski is one of the most adept composers to work with a writing process that in less skillful hands leads only to tedium: the tape loop piece. His best known works, the Disintegration Loops. Is at the same time more subtle and more directly engaging than those prior masterpieces, making it one of his very best recordings. Plays out much like Basinski's El Camino Real. Is warmly reassuring a...
