![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | AMUSANT! - the Beige Channel
A crate of LPs obtained at a garage sale was the random inspiration for this CD. The records were mostly easy-listening arrangements of 1970's singer-songwriter hits. I was not a fan of the originals when they were current, but easy-listening covers? A debased genre conflated with the cringe-inducing low-point of American pop music. In other words, an irresistible treasure trove of raw material rich in reference and historical association...

| Autumn Rain in the Yard - the Beige Channel
This CD results from the confluence of accident, documentation, and reflection. I sat my 17 month-old daughter in front of the piano without any expectations of what would happen. What she began to play was so extraordinary, I ran to get my video camera to record it. She played in the high and low registers of the instrument. She played clusters, single notes and little melodies. She played fast and slow, loud and soft...
