Elegy, for Jon

Jon Gams, my closest friend (besides my wife) for the past 34 years, passed away 11 days ago. It was a complete shock — he got the flu, and he was gone. He was one month short of his 58th birthday.

Jon and I met in 1975, when I was 17 and he was 24, in Great Barrington, MA where I was going to college and he was living. He was looking for someone to play guitar with. We were musical partners, friends and brothers from our first meeting.

New netlabel release on Stasisfield: Elementals

I am very happy to announce a new release called "Elementals" on the Stasisfield netlabel. John Kannenberg has done the beautiful job of design, packaging and presentation that Statisfield followers have come to expect, and I am grateful to part of his roster. In John's words: "Peterborough, New Hampshire's Dave Seidel offers a microtonal ode to the four primal elements. Water, fire, earth and air are represented here by elegant synthetic sounds and digitally manipulated field recordings. Work… Continue

NNM netlabel draws attention: Sublimation on NTNS Radio

I was contacted by the guy who does NTNS Radio (a weekly streaming netradio show) that he will be featuring my Sublimation release on the show this weekend. NTNS stands for Not The Normal Shit. :-) Here's the link: http://www.intelligentmachinery.net/?q=node/33 He makes all shows available as downloads afterwards, which is great, since I don't have the bandwidth to stream the show -… Continue

New track: Sisters and Brothers - Vignette 4

I have just added a new track to my playlist. It is a live track from a gig by the band Sisters and Brothers, in which I play electric bass. This particular piece was the last of a four-part series of "vignettes" that we did for our first set, in which we improvised using subsets of the group -- in this case, just guitar, bass and drums. Matt Robidoux is on guitar, Andy Kivela is on drums. This is the first time that the three of us had played together as a trio. This is the kind of music I'm m… Continue

CD swap offer

or, "I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours." As mentioned in my previous blog entry, I have an new independent CD-R release. I thought it would be fun to use this as an opportunity to get the music out there and get some new things to listen to myself. Each CD has really nice silk-screened artwork by my friend Eric Gagne , and each disc has a silk-screened image and is hand numbered (out of a run of 48)… Continue

Discovering one's influence

I was just checking the referer log for my website and saw a click-through that looked interesting: http://www.xs4all.nl/~galois/compositions/lament_I/. I was surprised and flattered to discover a piece by a composer called Michel Koppelaar, citing my work with combination tones as an influence. The piece is very nice, and I recommend that you download it and give it a listen. He also supplies… Continue
