Banned Rehearsal 439 - Isaac E, Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Anna K, Aaron Keyt, Neal Kosály-Meyer [December 1996]
a whisper of white noise cushions immediate immersion
nothing is far away
there is no such far away
soft roof
not playful but earnestly filling
that is
there is no mistaking the intent to be making music
though without sense of curatorial anything
sounds meant to mean, not to exhibit
(it presumes presentability)
(in the last days of our analog recording)
pressure applied firmly with vigor and force
ice hanging high in the cavern ceiling
a resonant wooden chamber, or any other, can be struck to sound in a wide range of manners
and through a full spectrum of vibrational nodes within the resonant chamber's prior soundings
each of which is like a mouth's vowel shape
specific to the household (domiolect)
which is how me make them, the chambers, speak for us
as us
language exploded view
press out upon the shell of our medium
ear scrubbing high power mass build up
Petrushka carnival soup
bang the chimney bang (really go bang at it) slappy whap WHAAM whop
the chimney's fundamental, though low in the mix, is a lovely rich warm hum
Minmax Dub 13 - Carl Juarez [from Sonicabal 2001]
wacked out polymeters in large scale poly beats
then it drives off the beach side
Dad's Cars - Carl R. "Dick" Eisenbrey, interviewed by Keith Eisenbrey on April 16, 2006
my fave: the putt putt car (a Nash Metropolitan convertible). Cows would look over the top at us.

Waiting - Shaprece [from Scatterbrain]
parts of the same voice strand of monologue thought layers as they construct themselves into selfconsciousness and lust driven volition
Banned Telepath 46 Somerville - Aaron Keyt [March 2016]
a gentle harmonica spinet duet, and all I need from one and more, with space heater grounding sound grounding the sound. This became part of Banned Rehearsal 907.
Have With Yow to Walsingame - William Byrd - Elizabeth Farr [from My Ladye Nevells Booke]
How large is this tune as it hangs in the room? Upon the answer hangs the ability of the ornamentation to extend into accumulating dimensions
gone like smoke in lights and stances
same melody in a different chair
White House Blues - Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers [from Anthology of American Folk Music]
a going down the road feeling bad type tune
Red Headed Woman - Sonny Burgess [from Sun Records The Definitive Hits]
too much fun to fit in that tiny studio of legend
Waltz for Debby (take 1) - Bill Evans Trio [from Waltz for Debby]
rhythm schemes falling in from elsewheres (spilled out of Byrd, perhaps?)
Patterns - Simon & Garfunkle [from Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme]
a screenplay in stanzas
rather grim if you could believe him
Unnamed Track 8 - Tillicum Junior High School Band [concert of March 3, 1971, from my mom's
tape]
leering stripper swing
Dove - Walt Wagner [from Caprice]
scenery and stage arrangement filler soundtrack style
expansive enough for a dance number to close out the reel
never not nice
Seventeen Prepuntal Contraludes - Keith Eisenbrey [at the Seattle Concert Theater, July 1981]
I may be the only one hearing this inside of these pieces, but I always did have a knack for hymnodic melody.
Standing On the Edge - Screaming Trees [from Clairvoyance]
the panels are large
it's time for a light show

Banned Rehearsal 262 - John E, Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Anna K, Aaron Keyt, Holden K, Neal Kosály-Meyer, Marilyn Meyer, William Meyer [July 1991]
a gathering as the Kosály-Meyers visit from Outpost San Diego so that the cousins can be introduced.
yellow tape folk song soundtrack oh dear what can the matter be as the age of chaos sets in the full scale invasion in the deep background Pastorale our improv becomes a confusion wafting through
a tunin'!
my chart drifts past Marilyn Poppins
now it is just the three of us
and the two dinosaurs
ought eight four (it weren't neither that which hadn't been yet anyway)
a roaring distant din at the back
you say 'Banned' (two syllables, see British Highway Code below)
X-2 - The Boss Martians [from 13 Evil Tales]
fan fiction, as though constructing loopables
Morningspeak - Ffej [from Sonicabal 2001]
neon sign for a parts factory add this for Ffej! parts for the man
My Oklahoma Home - Bruce Springsteen [from The Seeger Sessions]
old timey disaster blowed away
a great song, I wish he hadn't treated it so like an artifact
tried so hard to mimic a character he forgot to sing the song
Banned Rehearsal 791 - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Aaron Keyt [April 2011]
Yamaha chameleon (not new to the family, but new to the Tintinabulary)
dayglo camoflage
spoons: an eloquent dispensation
player enter tainer
do not mistake this for lame
the discard pile as poetry
table tennis orbs tossed about
The Breakup Song - Pritam [from Bollygood Volume 2]
an "ah" vowel pushes its rhyme forward through a thicket with dropped in English words like "breakup" and "relationship".

All In a Garden Grine - William Byrd - Elizabeth Farr [from My Ladye Nevells Booke]
drapery tumbles in enrapturing simultaneities sliced thin to view at subsequential angles
Dead Man Blues - Jelly Roll Morton [from The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz]
Vienna and New Orleans - cities famous for sloppiness as a front for something else
Right Behind You Baby - Ray Smith [from Sun Records The Definitive Hits]
another stalker anthem
ick
Detour Ahead (take 2) - Bill Evans Trio [from Waltz for Debby]
miles to go before we land on both feet together
British Highway Code - The Master Singers
proscripted pedestrianation with maximal syllabification
funny the first time for about 30 seconds
Untitled Cut 9 - Tillicum Junior High School Band [concert of March 3, 1971, from my mom's tape]
all roar no Charleston
New Orleans party town
Wedding - Walt Wagner [from Caprice]
prog-lounge (ticking clocks)
Rejoice - U2 [from October]
playing to the arena from the get go, at least that's how it seems from this distance
Karen's First Solo Tape - Karen Eisenbrey [April 1986]
While I was in Australia to glimpse Halley's Comet, Karen made this tape.
awesome dulcimer tuning! hand made mountain lap roots
ukulele - first person field recording of Dominos, and Mr. Abstractor (twice)
Hum, hum de hum, hum de hum
the clock is broken - Infamous Menagerie
inverted balance leaving space for vocals to space out on the verge of, but never beyond
Solos - Banned Rehearsal - Karen Eisenbrey, Aaron Keyt, Anna K, Neal Kosály-Meyer [December 1996]
Ten years after KFST, in preparation for our last Brechemin show ever, which would be in January of 1997, a session of four back-to-back solos to be used as part of the background mash of noise coming from multiple cassette tape play backs to play at our backs as we played. Neal finds a stupendous distortion on cornet.
In Session at the Tintinabulary
