I haven’t posted some B&Z in a while.  Butterflies & Zebras is made up of Norm Howard (insane sound craftsmanship), Steve Northover (The Father of SWT) and myself, Ken Walker.  We gather Sunday nights, when we can all make it, at the old OTI building and hope we don’t blow someone’s mind out.

Anyway, Steve records on his ThinkGad and I record on my Mac and we see who’s recording sounds better.  These are often one-offs.  Occasionally we find something we like and try to replicate it, often it works, sometimes it doesn’t.  So our recordings are all live, made in the lunchroom at OTI.

Here’s one recent recording named on the spot to be India Minor. How do you explain how Norm does the surf crash to guitar sound around 0:51, crazy solos at 2:19, or an excited Tinkerbell jumping at 2:46?  I kinda sound like I’m playing Congas however I usually play my African Duns strapped together on a rack and with my hands or sticks go at it.

Enjoy.  I love making this music.... it’s so free form.  We’ll never secure a record deal.
