Fabric - Summon These Days (Music)

I have tried in my low-fi way to be free

Louie - Boracay musical friend of three years.
As some readers may know, I am an adherent to the possibilities of improv. Throw off those shackles and find your inner mojo. The flute is now officially part of my mojo––I have no compunction about getting up in front of the mike for a choice freeform solo, whether at the B-Side Sunday reggae sessions in Makati, or with the house Latin band at Cafe Havana. People seem to dig these unannounced excursions, you can tell in this virally infected era by the quickness with which devices come out.*

This new Soundcloud recording (part of the Chasing the Sun series) is culled from nights at the Lokal in Boracay, where I slogged through standards in a quest for glimmers of the next. I am a big fan of bootlegs & demos––that is one reason why I trawl through artists of the 60s and 70s (as opposed to the synthesized generations). There is a lot more pulse in handcrafted trial and error, often recorded by self/audience members.  In the immortal words of Leonard Cohen, "I have tried in my low-fi way to be free." 

* Kind of ruins the mood, though it could eventually save me the trouble of recording shit.
