This tune is A side of a 78 written and possibly performed by my GrandFather, Keith Price. The record was cut in 1939. John at Penguin in Los Angeles transfered this record. Details are sketchy; I'll update this information as I get a better idea of the details.

:045 autumn leaves in your eyes: turn your volume control up for this one. enjoy. feat mary laroche on the low harmonies. Started simply as a test of the new studio, all through one microphone and preamp, no compression or EQ. righteous.

:044 there's too much to say about this song, so just take a listen and ask if you have any questions. love, ben

there's a story here that I'll not indulge

so here it is...xmas part deux dredux by luxurious manomallomarophilia this song takes a cue from the past: use your balance control when ther strings come in, ther only in the right and the guitar is only in the left, so you can mix and match. mono is your friend.

:030: a magical number this comes:annual xmas ep two thousand sevenne tune, not so much a song, but a collection of sounds:family (feat ersatz rehearsal pt III, also feat xxx) by b. price. produced by said person at studilaroche, atlanta, ga:this one was a quick one:emailsmeme studilaroche@podomatic.com : i think that's it. many extra special thanks to erin for the absinthe that made this possible, though she doesn't know it yet. don't be mad, erin. and special thanks to chris for the silver face bassman head.

commentatorship: this is just a demonstration that i'd really like to get off my hard drive. good day, sir. artJ*J* *B*l*a*i*r*

:028 -> this one i pulled off a while back because it's a huge file and I was running out of space on the server. I'm paying huge sums of money to host this podcast now. as you may have noticed, I've added a PayPal 'donate' button on the right. Feel free to support my body. Now if only there was a way to put it back in it's original place. oh well, what an xxx supposed to do in this world run by ?
this is a video feat. beaux theaux lathameaux, craig foley and b. price. dig those psychedelic blobs!

This is an advertisement I did for rapoM that didn't get used. I can't imagine why. This is the demo mix - we didn't even get past the demo stage in our relationship. Oh where, oh where can my baby be? thisisstilltemporary@yahoo.com > I should also mention that this is the afore mentioned 30 second song, i suppose third in a series of ~thirty second songs.

recorded at rehearsal on 08 july 2007 at home. this was recorded, on the fly, to a wire recorder that I found in an abandoned farm in northeast massachussets. it ran out of wire, which would explain the abrupt ending, well, at the end. the performance went on for another twenty minutes or so. Of course they were the most brilliant twenty minutes of our lives, not to be recorded. all my most brilliant moments are like that. tempting, eh? contact: ben@disguisethesky.com > feat. b. price and e. igney > a prelude to july 20 at the vinyl

this is vacation song: laptop + a little time = this piece of sound and/or music. that's erin on the electronic key-boards. we cut that a long time ago at the old red tuxedo studio on spring street. then i compiled all the other sounds. good night. most of this was put together on vacation, at the beach. a great time.

after rehearsal last night, erin stayed late and she performed this piece. we ran as much as we could stand to through the lousy public address system that was recently acquired. it has a particular sound; it includes a shit-ton of hiss. so dig this lo-fi, um, piece.

this is taken from a recording of a DeadPan Alley show at the Star Bar in Atlanta, Ga (Little Five Points) on 7 Feb 2003. As it turns out, this was the only show we were privileged to play with Ricky - you are sorely missed. Ricky dictated that we would improv the piece and that it shall not go longer than one minute. sounds like ricky, doesn't it?

this is one of many songs that were originally composed at the outset of what became the disguise the sky album 'all things can be'. there are ten or so more songs in various states of decomposition. most of this is simply a mood piece, i suppose. a few sections are rather skeletal. enjoy.

= two days, 48 hours. the first cycle: the beat, bass, keys, guitars and vocal stacks were recorded, written, arranged, et al. second cycle: other voices, editing, more editing, more editing, sax-o-phone, hammond, holophoner and the mix were achieved. yes, there's some hard edits in there. enjoy them. kind of reminds me of the big agency up in the blue sky. let me know what you think. thank you. good bye.
oh - i should mention that the brilliant piano solo (duo) is performed by my nine month old daughter, Stella.

this is a piece way back from 1998, featuring alex lowe on flute, saxophone and music stand. it was the first time alex played on a compostition of mine. this has been kicking around for a long time, and I've finally found a place to let it out. bit of trivia: towards the end of the piece, near where the saxophone outro starts, there's a noticeable increase in the reverb on the track- while printing the mix, i forgot the reverb was muted (as i was checkign out things prior to printing) and didn't realize until the point where it starts to fade up in the mix. i decided it was a performance mix, and that's the way it should be. things change.

this is taken from a solo show i performed at the EARL in East Atlanta on 27 Dec 2005; i was opening for surlypop - a lovely - oddity of a band that seems to exist no more. the crowd is pretty quiet at tmes - they are actually listening sometimes, and that's a pretty fucking rare thing in atlanta. know what i mean?

this music represents one 24 hour cycle. instead of bandrehearsal, which would have been the last rehearsal as it turns out, i buried my head in the studio and this is what happened. this song was written, arranged, recorded and mixed within twenty-four hours. the further away from it i get, the more i appreciate this one.

this is a melding of many recorded things: sweeping, pianos, most of the instruments in my studio(although most of them were muted), historical audio from the end of jonestown. all the music at the very end of this long podcast is a completely improvised series of overdubs, without referencing the previously recorded parts. no click, even. let me know what you think of this. almost everyone mentions the children crying, for good reason.
