Aphera Music

I feel very much so in the giving mood, so I’m about to present something else new for all of our Aphera readers. Eric Weidenhof has long been a musical collaborator of mine. We’ve been playing music together since seventh grade! Over the years these are two tracks that we’ve successfully recorded under two different monikers. The first track, “Spoiled Meat” was a track written by Eric back in middle school that our band, Aphera, played. We recorded it a couple months ago partly for posterity and partly because we couldn’t think of anything else to do. I thus labeled the artist on the track as Aphera because it just felt right.

The second track, “Tunnels”, was a track that I had originally written and recorded on my own but in senior year of high school, the band Eric and I played in called We’re Cooking Quinoa played the song for the battle of the bands. Afterwards, Eric and I recorded it in its new incarnation.

I’ve put the tracks on the playlist and you can visit my website to download the tracks.

Many thanks,

George

For the first time on this blog, and probably not the last, I’m going to take an opportunity to plug one of my own musical projects.

The "cover" for the "album"

This one is a real special treat and it’s called Excerpts from Pool Time (check out the site for it here). It’s a 30 minute “thing” that my friend Eric and I embarked on over break this winter (Alexander joined us too). It was basically a “jam” (though I dislike the idea of that) that I just happened to record. It’s kind of our version of the Campfire Songs album by Animal Collective, though admittedly neither of us had heard of that album when we were recording this. Also, Animal Collective probably had some sort of a plan going into Campfire Songs whereas Excerpts from Pool Time is 100% impromptu and this is obvious a little too often. Regardless, I think that it’s fun music –especially Alexander’s additions. So you have fun!
