I recorded this two-track guzheng piece yesterday. Both of the tracks were improvised in one long take without any time signature. It was a new approach for overdubbing that I’ve been experimenting. I often end up in a zone that it wasn’t set up intentionally when I laid down the first track. Having an absolute open beginning and zero plan from the moment I sat down in front of my instrument has led me to many unexpected paths in the most satisfying results.
Lately, there has been quite a lot of fungi in the forest near my home in Nashville. Some of them are in amazing colors like the ones in photo below. They are called Witch’s hat. These mushrooms appear after summer and autumn rains, popping up in groups across fields, grasslands, and roadsides. I learned that the caps of the fungi quickly turn jet black. I got lucky catching them when they were still in bright red. They have been found in Northern America, Europe, Africa, Central and South America, Antarctica (island), Asia, Australia, New Zealand. Witch's hat is reported to be poisonous. Don’t eat them if you see them :)
