Due to the fact that I've had a bad cold for the past week and
also the fact that many people who had wanted to be on this
recording can't be here this weekend,

I"VE DECIDED TO POSTPONE the PUT ON YOUR STOMPY BOOTS
CHORAL RECORDING SESSIONS
that had been schedule for tomorrow night
(SUNDAY) at STATIC (at the Blue Lagoon)

I'll be demonstrating the LOOPERLATIVE next weekend in Anaheim, as well,
so I'll try to reschedule some time after I return from that.

My apologies, but I can't even speak myself, let alone sing and I was going to have to
be the one to teach everyone the words and melody.

Yours, Rick Walker

it's a silly, relatively meaningless milestone, but I really love the
tribe.net community and am proud of this little accomplishment.

I'm also really happy that tribe.net has finally been taken over by people
who truly love it and they're rapidly working out the kinks and coming back

Let's go get a beer!!!!!!

I just created a youtube page to put up some of the videos that I'm recieving from
producers of the many looping festivals that I headlined in Europe and the UK this summer.

First ones up are videos from the Oslo Looping Festival and the Koln Looping festival,
including one from Oslo where I am playing the frame drum in this picture).

By the way, I should mention that I met an amazing photographer on this tour,
Oslo's Janne Marie Fatland. Check out her website, she has amazing sensitivity in her photography
and in all my years working with really professional photographers in the music business, she's one
of the most artistic I've experienced.

Please go check this wonderful artist out. Buy prints from her.........she'll be famous one day.

More videos are on there way and I'm trying to assemble the companion volume to my
Translucent Dayglo Lime Green Plastic live looping CD from the tracks from this wonderful tour.

It will be called Translucent Dayglo Orange Plastic and I'm hoping to release it in time for the
annual Y2k8 International Live Looping Festival in Santa Cruz and San Jose on October 16-21st

I'm proud to announce a little

I have just returned from headlining 15 live looping festivals and events
in 8 countries in Scandinavia, Germany and the British Isles during
a long 2 month tour.

On that tour, the TRANSPARENT DAYGLO ORANGE PLASTIC tour
I came up with an unusual found sound/live looping show that
utilizes a lot of Dayglo Orange Plastic under
black lights (and bells and tuning forks
and vibrators and trumpet and overtone flutes and extended vocal
techniques and beat boxing and and and......

I will be performing this show at the very final performance at
the HIDE GALLERY in Santa Cruz, tonight (FRIDAY, July 11th)
from 10-11 p.m.

The HIDE , in case you don't know, is in the 2nd block
of FRONT STREET just South of LAUREL STREET downtown.

FRONT STREET curves to the right as you approach the hill
and that's where I'll be performing along with an amazing
electronica/pop band from LA, WOVEN (11 p.m.-12 a.m.).

They are one of my very favorite musical groups and they rarely
play in Northern California.

There will also be painters and airbrushers and dancers all
performing and creating while I play so it should be
a wonderful send off to one of the most creative institutions
that this town has seen in a long time.

I hope you can make it.

Great to be back in Santa Cruz,

I hope to see you at the show tonight.

yours, Rick Walker
