Hi Gang, If anyone is in the Northern California region this coming weekend, I will be releasing my brand new project PURPLE HAND in a free to the public CD release party replete with lots of black lights. It will be in Santa Cruz, California at a beautiful new venue called the ATTIC which is on the Pacific Garden Mall a half block south of the Cataylst and Union Grove Music directly above the bar called the Blue Lagoon. The show will be this Sunday, February 27th at 8 p.m. and I will be doing a set I'm very excited about doing with our newest transplanted east coast looper, bassist Dan Soltzberg (Ghost7). I'm going to be trotting out this really cool drumset that I've been working on that represents attempts to sound electronic with totally acoustic sources. Dan and I will play an improvisational drums with bass set (exciting because we have never played together before), have a little chat and greet and then I will be playing the entire PURPLE HAND CD from top to bottom on a beautiful, state of the art Mackier Subwoofed Speaker System (lent to me graciously by Mike Dicker for the occasion). I'll then sell and sign CDs to end the evening, when we'll all go downstairs to the Blue Lagoon to dance the evening away. *************** PURPLE HAND is a loop based project that I've been composing for the last two years. It is NOT a live looping record but was done entirely on a computer. I decided that since the music's were so different in both of these endeavors that I would continue my L()()p.p()()L moniker for live playing/live recording and start a new moniker, Purple Hand, for my abstract electronica. Purple Hand has more groove on it than previous CDs I"ve released but it also has some experiemental tinges in it's downtempo take on things. It is also available through the mail by sending a $15 check to: Rick Walker Purple Hand 412 Darwin Street Santa Cruz, California 95062-2629 For the next month, anyone who mentions Loopers Delight can not only buy the CD for $12, but I will also donate $5 of those dollars to Kim Flint, our illustrious leader here at L.D. This also goes for any CD in the L()()p.p()()L discography: Loop.pooL (2001) Translucent Dayglo Lime Green Plastic (2002) Faux Voix (2003) Purple Hand (2005)
