Here Comes The Flood

Sitting in the control,  going through Gregory’s old sessions.  Cinjun and Darrel (Thorp,  longtime friend and engineer) are supposed to arrive tonight.  Tomorrow we start 3 days of recording which will hopefully yield beautiful music.  Feeling excited,  nervous,  melancholy,  afraid.  This will be the first time we’ve all made music together since Gregory passed.  I’m looking forward to it but it’s heavy.  And of course Cinjun is caught in an apocalyptic storm / flood in Tennessee.  I’d like to consider it a good omen - Remy Zero sessions are never born easily!  Gregory is probably getting a kick out of it.  I’m missing him terribly right now.  Always,  but especially right now.

Rare Convergence

Hard times bring people together,  right?  So it seems.  Cinjun came to town so he,  Jeffrey and I could spend some time together and reconnect after the events with Gregory.  Now we’re beginning the work of putting together some music to honor Gregory’s memory.  Some of it will be songs we all wrote together a couple of years ago,  when we were considering reforming Remy Zero.  Some of it will be songs incorporating musical pieces Gregory left behind.  (He was very prolific,  so there’s a wealth of material to explore…) I imagine some things will end up being called Remy Zero,  some used on O+S and Dead Snares records,  and some will come out in other unusual ways.  How and when we’ll share it with people is an unknown because who knows what exactly will come of all this.  But it feels like mended fences and magnificent ideas right now,  so let’s see what we can do.  (S)
