Cedric + Michael + Jeffrey
My friend / collaborator / co-conspirator Michael Patterson calls his studio The Gloryhole. It’s ridiculous I know. So is he. But he’s also a bit of a mad genius and has become a touchstone in many of the projects in O+S world. He mixed O+S and toured with us; mixed the forthcoming Azure Ray album Drawing Down The Moon; will be releasing the Dead Snares album on his POPANTIPOP label in September; will be co-writing and producing music with me and others for a new collective project; and today is lending his ideas and assistance to the reactivation of Remy Zero. RZ is doing few club dates down the west coast in October (not officially announced yet but the word is already out, so there you go…) and we’ve decided that new music, new web presence, new ENERGY should go along with the shows. And since I’ve just moved back to LA and haven’t got my situation fully set up The Gloryhole is sort of our unofficial air traffic control center. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Mike for that and for his many other valuable contributions, and also to wish him a Happy Birthday tomorrow! Here’s to you, Maestro… (S)

My good friend and young rhythmatist extraordinaire Chip Kilpatrick snapped this photo of Jeffrey and me in the studio today. It’s a real joy making music in that room. And just wait till you hear it!! (S)

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)
