Miracle of the 6 Eggs

March 15, 2012Uncategorizedaudio, cellapp, egg, eggs, emotion, emotional, higheremotion, hum, mani, meditate, meditation, miracle, om, padme, personalchapel, quietude, relaxation, sandgorebagg

I am currently working on the Egg Project. I will post announcements about it as we work with it.

It is intended both as a physical apparatus for the Waking State and as a possible cell app. It works by arousing the Higher Emotions and suppressing the lower ones. It works, but the issue is, “can everyone use it???” The answer will be found at today’s training session.

You will be able to use my Altar Layout as a guide. It is meant for use inside a Personal Chapel, but can be used outdoors as well. I intend to install one by the little waterfall stream that we’ll be rebuilding during the Festival of Ishtar Workshop during the coincidental Easter (gee, those words “Ishtar” and “Easter” sure sound alike, don’t they???) vacation.

Stay tuned to the gorebagg tv channel on justin.tv today to find out more. I’ll take a few breaks, and that’s when I’ll do my gorebagg’s tags and hapi hour shows.

Menlo & Parker Clear Light Lullaby

Here’s my “kid brother” Menlo Macfarlane, (Healing Prayers to him please) along with Parker Dickson on guitar, both of them in a duet, singing the Holy Hobo Clear Light Lullaby back a few years ago at one of our hundreds of House Parties … You’ll hear Grishy, Kellita and the gang howling with laughter as Menlo and Parker, prodded by bizarre impulses from Outer Space, drift in and out of a variety of strange postures and weirdnesses. They were able to see the video-monitor and knew approximately what I was doing with the 18-pound Sony 28:1 zoom pro camera with the huge Beaulieu lens. I’m told over my shoulder that the DVD is available somewhere… ah, here it is… You can get it at

What Ever Happened to George Gurdjieff’s Music???

To be fair, not all Gurdjieff’s music was from Gomidas. Actually a number of them were reconstructed from memory and were Arabic and tribal songs from the Caucasus and general region of Greece and Armenia, from which Gurdjieff had come when he arrived in Russia. Here is a very good example of what Gurdjieff could not present to his dance students in France, but which we can construct today from what little remains of the cultures he encountered back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Well, first off, a good deal of Gurdjieff’s Sacred Music wasn’t Gurdjieff’s music in the first place; Continue reading →

Hapi Hour with EJ Gold

Tune in for the Hapi Hour with EJ Gold on http://www.justin.tv/gorebaggtv/ where I’ll be using the Hapi and from time to time filming tutorials — can’t quite bring myself to use the term “instructible” or “instructable” — they’re wrongly constructed terms. Watch the ICW this morning for demos and more about the two shows…oh, did I not mention “Gorebagg’s Tags”??? It’s a show where I demo how to construct barbershop quartet “tags” and much, much more. Tune in to both shows every day. Follow me on twitter and facebook for the latest info on shows, because they’re at odd times until I can settle into a routine with them, if that’s even possible.

Here’s a magical quartet calling itself “Pagagnini” after the wild and crazy violin master himself; they dance, play and carry on in the wild tradition, with wildly funny results.

Music Rights — new information

March 4, 2012Uncategorizedgorebagg

Okay, here’s the no-bullshit rundown on music rights:

Rumblefish tracks your REGISTERED output that they have issued toward the downstream marketing outlets both online and brick & mortar, if any remain.

Your song is tracked by YOUR WAVEFORMS, not by codes or numbers. That means that any “cover” of your song will NOT be monetized for you unless the covering artist is legit and registers their song as a cover of your song, but that’s another story and it gets really messy to try to force others to respect your song rights.

Here’s the best you can do at the moment Continue reading →

Moksha & the Saw of Damocles

Thanks to someone who gave me a wonderful birthday gift, which I will soon replace with another just like it, Moksha, of the amazing “Country Eastern” musical experience, Hu Dost — which is currently on tour — now has an official musicalsaw.com tenor musical saw to add to their List of Mystical Inventory. Here’s an example of a musical saw used in a highly technical manner:

Back in 1949, I heard my music teacher at Camp Woodland, Grant Rogers, play the musical saw; then Joe Hickerson played it, after which Joanna Cazden, Louise deCormier and, as I remember it, Happy Traum or Geoff Kaufman tried it.

Well, heck-darn, I asked for, and got, a musical saw for my 70th birthday last December 27th.

When I first encountered the musical saw it was immediately post-war, World War II (which is the Roman numeral “II”, not the Arabic numerals which we use today, as in “World War Eleven”, as some kids insist on calling it) when instruments made of steel were almost unobtainable, and was amazed at how much like the newly invented Electronic Theramin it sounded. Here are some stunning examples: Continue reading →

Multitracking your voice in the 21st century

How to use all this new cellphone, video and html5 technology? No sweat; here’s one suggestion…video yourself as a choir, adding ALL the parts into the whole, one by one. The conclusion I came to is that this very talented kid has a hell of a lot of time on his hands. I spend more than 5 minutes making a Tin-Pan Alley Hit on youtube and I feel like I’ve failed. Enjoy. He’s really quite exceptional. I hope he monetizes the hell out of his efforts!

Here’s more to tantalize and whet the appetite for multitrack a capella vocals… Continue reading →
