Photo: Willem Schwertmann. There were indeed a few early walkouts, but tja at least we let them know right from the very first note that they weren't going to like it, hopefully they went on to do something they liked better that night. <br />
<br />
40 people didn't walk out, it was a fun gig, everyone who stayed was lovely. Probably even the people who didn't stay were lovely too, but we'll just never really know will we.<br />

Just for reference, here are some things that happened on the internet that never got talked about here on this page and well frankly still aren't being talked about here on this page, but hey at least we've got links, that's something:<br />
<br />
- <a href="http://www.guitarmoderne.com/roots-moderne/roots-moderne-sleep-gunner" target="_blank">Long-winded interview with Jeroen and myself in Guitar Moderne, talking about our youths, our gear, our Sleep Gunner, more gear, and Eddie Van Halen</a>.<br />
<br />
- <a href="http://www.joshrutner.com/aotw/2016/11/10/episode-44-sleep-gunner-plays-the-louvin-brothers-songbook-vol-1-sleep-gunner-2014" target="_blank">Josh Rutner somehow devoted an Album Of The Week podcast episode to our Louvin Brothers record</a>, it's super well done check it out.<br />
<br />
- Somehow there's no information here about the two Bandcamp live sets we released, who's a big stupid. <b><a href="https://sleepgunner.bandcamp.com/album/christ-stopped-at-nodica" target="_blank">This</a></b> is our set from Pisa where I was incredibly drunk due to, well, a lot of things, but an idyllic countryside setting with unlimited delicious wine and repeated start time delays were definitely contributing factors. Remarkably, the adverse conditions inside my body seemed to focus my mind and we did just fine. I'm sure the lovely and attentive audience and studio-quality sound in the Redroom did not hurt. And <b><a href="https://sleepgunner.bandcamp.com/album/ill-live-with-god-to-die-no-more" target="_blank">this</a></b> is our set from Baarle-Nassau where we were all fired up about being on the road with Michael and Joost. Sound: less good, but performance: pretty inspired.<br />
<br />
- Oh and there's <a href="http://www.stichtingjazzingroningen.nl/agenda/nacht-van-de-jazz-john-dikeman/" target="_blank"><b>an upcoming gig</b></a> with the John Dikeman Trio here in Groningen, last time I was at an SJIG event it was wholly pleasant, a very friendly modern traditional jazz gig with Jesse van Ruller and his trio of stellar line-spoolers, Hope audience people are prepared for something sliiiiiiiiiiightly more raucous this time around, I'll cry if there are walkouts.<br />

Well, not really, but I am attempting to bring my "year" of non-performance to an end: 21 February I'm playing with the lovely and talented Jasper Stadhouders and <b><a href="http://devingraymusic.com/" target="_blank">Devin Gray</a></b> in my old stomping grounds Zaal 100. We'll be playing with another trio made up of <b><a href="http://www.doek.org/project/eric-boeren/" target="_blank">Eric Boeren</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.frankrosaly.com/" target="_blank">Frank Rosaly</a></b> and a player to be named later (<i>Editor's Note: Giuseppe Doronzo</i>), then both trios together in a sextet.<br />

Welcome to the whitest blackness around whatever that means you cryptic sonofabitch. Still no live performance due to innerspace turbulence but yes, if for some reason you would be looking for the sound of my guitar, it can for now be most efficiently located over at <b><a href="https://soundcloud.com/markemorse" target="_blank">The Cloud of Sound</a></b>.<br />
<br />
And ah yis, <a href="http://tonefiend.com/recording/talk-box/" target="_blank"><b>this post over at Tone Fiend</b></a> regarding the evils of talk boxes made me want to post this track from our as-yet-unreleased <b><a href="http://sleepgunner.blogspot.nl/" target="_blank">Sleep Gunner</a></b> record (entitled, yes, "Plays The Louvin Brothers Songbook, Vol. 1"). We took this sweet song from 1957 and made it a touchingly moronic talk box duet for dobro and keyboard. And I take an especially moronic guitar solo. With the talk box, sorry.<br />
<br />
For <i>tone fiends</i> curious about the mechanics of it all, and who wouldn't be: I'm playing a gaudy-as-fuck, made-in-China Dean slimline gangsta dobro run through two shitty amps, one signal path includes a ZVEX Fuzz Factory and the other goes to Jeroen's vocoder box thingie that I don't know the name of. There's also a close mic that's supposedly picking up the acoustic sound of the dobro, but this didn't prove to be very useful because this dobro is kind of terrible. I do like the way that the loudest sound being picked up by this mic is the flimsy bridge on the Dean complaining during the guitar solo, it's a resonated creaking sound, the Chinese bridge threatening to give up if there's any more string bending.<br />

Next Friday, 12 April, fellow guitar-toucher <b><a href="http://non-fiction.eu/2011/12/21/a-conversation-with-raphael-vanoli/" target="_blank">Raphael Vanoli</a></b> and I will accompany three shortish videos from Argentinian filmmaker <b><a href="http://www.sebastiandiazmorales.com/sebastiandiazmorales/Sebastian_Diaz_Morales.html" target="_blank">Sebastian Diaz Morales</a></b> as part of the <b><a href="http://www.cinesonic.nl/events/raphael-vanoli-mark-morse-meet-sebastian-diaz-morales" target="_blank">|cine|sonic|</a> </b>series at <b><a href="http://www.goethe.de/ins/nl/ams/kue/flm/de10613736v.htm" target="_blank">Goethe Institut Amsterdam</a></b>. The films themselves are intriguing: hinting at menace and almost casually beautiful at the same time, with a non-obvious editing logic/rhythm that I'm looking forward to playing with/against. And this is the first time Raphi and I play duo together. €5 to get in, go time is 8:30pm.<br />
<br />
<b>LATER</b>: A super-pleasant evening, well-attended and even paid. Great staff too. Interviews with Raphi and myself <b><a href="http://cinesonicblog.blogspot.nl/2013/05/interview-raphael-vanoli-mark-morse_5.html" target="_blank">here</a></b>, and with the filmmaker regarding how he thought it all went <b><a href="http://cinesonicblog.blogspot.nl/2013/05/interview-sebastian-diaz-morales.html" target="_blank">here</a></b>. <br /><br />Well, here is the interview with Raphi and me just in case:<br /><br />+++<br /><br />
By Bas<br />
<br />
On a rainy Friday night in Amsterdam, two men are building up a vast array of effect pedals and amplifiers in preparation for the 45th installment of Cinesonic. Tonight three short films by Sebastien Diaz Morales will be provided with a new, original soundtrack by guitarists Raphael Vanoli and Mark Morse, for whom this occasion also marks their first ever collaboration as a duo.<br />
<br />
'So what do you think?' Mark asks Raphael, concerning something probably to do with one of the many cables and amplifiers scattered around the floor of one of the Goethe Institute's stately halls. 'Shoes off', he answers, removing his soaked footwear. Everybody made it to the venue through what one could call a spring shower, but this was soon forgotten after everybody settled down in a beanbag with a cold beer, ready to be taken on a trip through Insight, Oracle and The Apocalyptic Man.<br />
<br />
After their show, we sat down with Mark and Raphael to ask them all about their Cinesonic adventure.<br />
<br />
So what did you think of the show?<br />
<br />
Mark: Most of it went really great, although great is a strong word for me, but I enjoyed it. The thing that’s hard to do in a duo situation is to have two people attuned to the same cuts, because we will interpret what's on screen differently right?<br />
<br />
Raphael: It was good. I would have liked to sit somewhere else though, because I was feeling a bit claustrophobic, between the table in front of me, my pedals and the wall. I did like the fact that we were really next to each other though, even without looking at each other it was easy to communicate. From the corner of your eye you'd see something happening next to you and kind of know what the other was up to.<br />
<br />
How did you prepare for tonight?<br />
<br />
M: I probably watched the movies three times each. When I watched them I looked for cues more than anything, since I knew I wasn't going to be able to memorize all of it. In my mind I divided it into sections, and like for the first one I knew I had about four minutes here, and four minutes there, and tried to develop things over that. The first film for example ended with some imagery from the beginning, so I wanted to bring back some of the material from the beginning.<br />
<br />
So none of the music was composed in advance?<br />
<br />
M: I didn't actually play anything I had ever played before, but I knew what kind of feel I wanted to create in each section. With improvising to film its really easy to just start improvising without the film, I wanted to try really hard not to do that.<br />
<br />
R: We could have written a score, but we do this only one time, so it's also a practical choice to improvise. Though the material we played was improvised, there was kind of a general feel to the films, obviously you are making sound to an image that has a certain atmosphere.<br />
<br />
M: I knew the color and feel of what I wanted to play. I also played some things that I would never ever play, like in Oracle I played some really chordal melodic things that were too Bill Frisell-y at some point, I would never ever do that normally but it seemed like the right thing to do.<br />
<br />
You're surrounded by all kinds of effect pedals and musical devices, could you explain something about the material you used during the set?<br />
<br />
M: Well, I only have five effect pedals, but I do have a lot of implements to attack the guitar with. For example, I use a lot of pieces of foam to mute the strings on my guitar. And there is this metal file thing, which creates a really abrasive bowing sound, and i use this big knitting needle, because it is big enough to go through both necks. You know these Ebow things? If you just Ebow it with just the open strings it's kind of boring, but with this needle through the strings you get all these unpredictable, raspy, horrible sounds.<br />
<br />
Though you are both guitarists, tonights show was not your average guitar-rock-show, any thoughts on this?<br />
<br />
M: Yeah, I don't really often play with effects, so this is unusual for me. Mostly tonight there was a lot of reverb and a little tremolo, some distortion, nothing too crazy on my part. I feel like I'm playing guitar.<br />
<br />
R: I was playing guitar all the time, actually. You're a musician, and you use instruments to make music, you should not see it as different things, its all one. All this stuff (pointing at the heaps of pedals in front of him), this is just an extension of your instrument. Of what we both did, almost everything was sourced by a guitar. It's not our business to give all this stuff a name, that’s up to you.<br />
<br />
M: I think I played a lot of guitar sounds, thats kind of what I do. The thing that’s different when you play without effects is, you treat space differently. With effects it’s really easy to just turn up the freeze knob and have something happening when you’re not playing anything. It's just taking a millisecond of what you did and just extending it forever, and when you're playing without effects you have to think about space differently.<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot guys, any future musical endeavors we should look out for?<br />
<br />
M: I'm actually taking a break from music soon. After this I have one more show planned and then I plan on not making any music for a while, it's just giving me too much stress to make it all happen. So no future musical plans for me at the moment.<br />
<br />
R: Well, there's a lot going on right now. The project that still keeps me the busiest is my duo Knalpot, we just wrote a new album, and now were looking for a new record company to release it. <br />
<br />
And for the first time I have a band that I conceived myself, with a great singer from Senegal and a brass section. None of them play their instruments in the way you would normally play it, they use effect pedals and have some really extended techniques. It's some kind of African space dub noise music. A lot of stumbling grooves, trance elements and weird electronic sounds. It’s all about sound and melody.<br />

From relaxed 8pm soundcheck through scarily underattended 10:40pm opening notes (due to scarily lightning-attended storms maybe?) to engaging 1am Xenakis to desperately necessary 5:30am croissants and multi-amplifier guitar solos. To....yes, 12noon hangover. It was a pretty fun night. Also a bit, mmm, "special" due to the fact that this room is where we had our first gig together back in 2008, almost four years ago, and every time we play here seems to be generally pretty satisfying.<br />
<br />
And in the aftermath? Spirits remain pretty OK, and Coming Up Next: the wagon. And two recording sessions. I'll take pictures.<br />

<br />
Below: Let me explain. Though he's certainly made plenty of bullshit music, I've liked/admired/been confused by Keiji Haino's guitar playing in <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fushitsusha" target="_blank">Fushitsusha</a></b> for a long time. His solos (especially in the early live recordings) are totally mystifying: definitely arranged in phrases, but in a language that is primitive and atonal to the point of sounding completely deranged or chemically disabled.<br />
<br />
It's a style that I've tried to emulate before, but only in a kind of unconsidered, half-assed way. I'm going to try and eventually record some more fully-assed attempts here, but this is the first.<br />

So after 15 years or so of coveting one, I bought a <b>Zvex Fuzz Factory. </b>The photo above is to document my settings for these studies. In a couple of these it really sounds like there's an effect other than fuzz involved, but there ain't: in the 1st study, the E and B string are tuned a minor second apart, so it sounds like there's a chorus or vibrato thing happening; and what sounds like a seriously damaged or unpredictable gate in the 2nd study is just the superball bouncing maniacally.<br />

Some vague concepts are emerging. I think the goal would be to make the format seem as "realistic" as possible (subtly annoying voiceover; camera focused on the boxes, not the guitar; any hand or foot appearing in the frame to make adjustments would be adorned with douchey rawk garb such as skull thumb rings, black fingernails, knuckle tats or snakeskin boots, possibly all of the above) until the playing starts.<br />
<br />
From that point on, the idea would be to either A) test out gear the way I normally test out gear, which I'm sure is plenty annoying: looking for the most unattractive or least-controllable sounds; seeing what kind of piercing feedback/oscillation notes are available; etc. Or, B) play completely unrealistic things. I'll probably have to ask <b><a href="http://megasubtiel.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Grandmaster Flash</a></b> to do some stunt guitar on this since he's got the most unrealistic technique of anyone I know.<br />
<br />

<br />
Prong 2: This track has been lurking around forever, and I'm posting it now so that I never again have to look at it and evaluate its "not good enough to share" vs. "I kind of liked it when i did it" status.<br />
<br />
I think I mostly like it because I remember when I made it it seemed like a nearly perfect encapsulation of how I was feeling at the time. And yet, I have no idea when it was actually made. I know I did it in FruityLoops, I can even picture the samples on screen (sarod samples from a <b><a href="http://www.swarsystems.com/" target="_blank">SwarSystems</a></b> VST and cuts from <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Samoura%C3%AF" target="_blank">Le Samouraï</a></b>), but I can't picture the table my laptop is on or any of the surroundings. One explanation is that I was kneeling on the floor in my darkened basement in Atlanta, that would make it 1999 or so at the latest.<br />

I find myself kind of accidentally opening up for Thurston Moore <b><a href="http://occii.org/?wtpage=event&id=987&wt_month=03&wt_year=2012" target="_blank">next Saturday night</a></b>. Not just me of course, unless something seriously accidental happens: it'll be a quartet of lovely-seeming local gentlemen, at least they seem lovely via email, we've never played together.<br />
<br />
And thus, we shall have a week of guitar studies/recordings.<br />

I am laughably, pitifully bad about getting music off of my hard drive and into a place where people with ears might actually be able to listen to it. This one is, I believe, the first time Santiago, Dirk and I sat down together to record in a non-gig situation. It's a project whose simple goal is to play with the instabilities of aluminum foil as an instrument preparation. We usually don't sound this "produced", this mix is an experiment by me, just some dicking around with Ferox, PanGloss and Omniverb. ECM here we come.<br />

Yeah there's a lot of synthy stuff up in this bitch lately, if you're here for manlier, guitar-oriented things, just scroll down 4 or 5 posts....<br />

Getting ready to do some playing that looks like it will involve some.....eh, electronics. Which I don't do so often anymore, and I've stopped using most of the pedals and things I used to use b/c fuck, they were all 15 years old and starting to sound like it. I mean, effects that sound 30 years old are fine, but 15...that puts us at an unfortunate moment in the evolution of guitar effects. I also just got tired of effects in general, and kind of stopped understanding the point.<br />
<br />
But, so, now, in the interest of coming up with a new and useful effects setup that is both somehow good and also reflects my fatigue with "regular" effects, I wanted to try plugging the guitar into this Audioweevil feedback thingie I had going on. It's something I think I did with Minister Kebab once or twice but that was so long ago I don't really remember how it worked or if it was any good.<br />
<br />
I've arrived at something that sounds OK but is logistically a bit over-complicated since it uses two amps, but it goes like this: guitar-->cube-->sampler MIC in-->sampler PHONES out-->Audioweevil in-->Audioweevil out-->sampler LINE IN-->sampler LINE OUT-->second amp. The cube wouldn't be totally necessary for live playing but kind of is for recording, otherwise you end up with a rather shitty dry direct guitar sound.<br />
<br />
Anyway. This is a simple E-bow drone on a detuned A string, run through the harmonizer on the sampler. Then I turn up the Audioweevil and start knobtwisting.<br />
