It's minimal: mostly just beats and vocals. <br /><br />I am using some of the lyrics that Melissa wrote for the NBB Album that we postponed recording. The album/lyrics are based on a story I wrote that is about secrets and the subconscious.<br /><br />Also, a major focus: movement arts.<br /><br />-DOH<br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4055/4381631024_44cc538b25_o.png">DOHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438771610433895478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332779594743795695.post-82164253504861834752009-11-29T18:19:00.000-08:002009-11-29T18:32:31.408-08:00MANGO BAG: The dawning of a new eraI had a dream where I was trying to write "nanobangbang" on a chalk board but i kept writing "mango" instead of "nano."

We have some interesting instruments on this album: bassoon, ocean harp, saw, trombone. I'm so excited already. Winston & Sara have set it in motion with the first movement and I'm already so inspired.<br /><br />The release of the album will coincide with a performance that contains a theatrical aspect (silent narrative).

Sara on bassoon, Winston on fretless bass. They had never worked/played together before nanobangbang. In fact, they had not yet even me even though they were acquainted with eachother after Way No Way & Soft Healer played a show.<br /><br />I am so utterly impressed with the sounds they are making (it's just their first meeting!) and she is so utterly excited by the project, we decide that (along with Melissa and Allison), Winston & Sara will become the backbone of the album. With others contributing layers upon it. Only knowing the part of the story that coincides with the movement they are adding textures too. When everyone listens to the album, only then will they know the whole story...<p>..........</p>DOHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438771610433895478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332779594743795695.post-72942318321195509542009-08-13T16:47:00.000-07:002009-08-24T13:18:17.037-07:00The CompoundYesterday <a href="http://amandahbjones.wordpress.com/">Amanda Jones</a> (also a new nbb member) came with me to check out the space where NBB.6 will be. <br />@ The Compound on Saturday September 19th for <a href="http://www.churchofthefriendlyghost.org/">CotFG</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/deenaburgergood/3816920007/" title="IMG_0614 by DeenaOodles, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3490/3816920007_c301858c18.jpg" width="500" height="392" alt="IMG_0614" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Quick clarification: originally NBB.6 was going to be THE SECRETS SHOW. But I was asked to do something for <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/event.php?eid=126335573697&ref=ts">Church of the Friendly Ghost's TENT REVIVAL</a> on Saturday September 19th.<br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Saving the SECRETS SHOW for NBB.7 (because the SECRETS SHOW will take a while to prepare). Plus, I've been really into exploring conceptual movement in the last 2 nbb shows, but there is no room for dance in the SECRETS SHOW.<br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">NBB.6 @ 8pm only 10 minutes long</span><br /><br />The show will be at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/compoundaustin">The Compound</a> which is right near Scoot Inn. I hadn't been there before actually. Very rad layout. And very conducive to the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/cotfg">CotFG</a> Tent Revival event because there's all these nooks and crannies, a very large outdoor space, and a HUGE stage. There will be a lot of things going on that fine Saturday: games, raffle prizes, tarot card reading, cake walk.. gonna be funn and a good cause.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/deenaburgergood/3816920283/" title="IMG_0619 by DeenaOodles, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2473/3816920283_e84fe7ef31.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="IMG_0619" /></a>DOHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438771610433895478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332779594743795695.post-19372129533118599152009-08-11T13:42:00.000-07:002009-08-11T13:59:19.994-07:00New MemberUtterly successful first meeting with the newest member of our illustrious collective...<br /><br />Please welcome: <span style="font-weight:bold;">SARA BERGER</span>! <br /><br />Classically trained <span style="font-weight:bold;">bassonist</span>, with an incredible singing voice. And most importantly, a fabulous and collaborative personality. She works at <a href="http://www.tequilamockingbird.com/">Tequila Mockingbird</a> and is in a new band called <a href="http://www.myspace.com/softhealering">Soft Healer</a>.<br /><br />She will be joining Nanobangbang for the 7th show. The SECRETS SHOW. <br /><br />We will be releasing the NBB.7 album in October and doing the show in November.<br /><br />I gave her and Winston the beginning outline of the story, with suggestions for the feel of the music. They will be working on the first three movements of the set. They do not know how it ends. Only Allison, Melissa and I know the whole story. Mysteries will unravel on that fateful nbb.7 night.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2242/1545160069_feebcfe901.jpg">DOHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438771610433895478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332779594743795695.post-78301530884449308202009-08-10T11:22:00.000-07:002009-08-12T16:18:36.684-07:00MICRO-NANO PARTY<span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">"Cheer Up Nano...

I'm envisioning epic qualities as we span moods and genres. <br /><br />Don't worry -- Nanobangbang is not forgetting the variety show aspect of our mission. After we have the skeleton I will ask other musicians to add texture & atmosphere to each song. <br /><br />So, there will still be that quality of Nanobangbang that I love: where I ask a new person to come up on stage for each piece. However, there will be a thread running throughout the show so there is more preconceived control overall. <br /><br />Also, I am continuing on my dance path... <br /><br />It will be a 3 part show: <br />Starting with Dance<br />Transitioning to Music<br />Ending in Text/Speech<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/deenaburgergood/3057404020/" title="NBB.3 by DeenaOodles, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3038/3057404020_c28f3656fd.jpg" width="500" height="251" alt="NBB.3" /></a>DOHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438771610433895478noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332779594743795695.post-38189830435455309772009-06-17T20:17:00.000-07:002009-06-17T21:01:05.554-07:00SIXSo after much thought I've decide on Nanobangbang SiX.<br /><br />First I'll tell what I've learned.<br /><br />I've learned that although I love the variety and spontaneity of Nanobangbang shows, the unexpected quality that creates so much excitement also creates a lot of tension/anxiety. Too many unknown factors. Too many people. Too little time and money. I'm very organized and on top of things (ask NBB members about color coded emails), and I've been very pleased with the turn out, and the *feeling* of each show, however, I'm always left feeling it can be even better; more refined.<br /><br />If we had more time/money to prepare for each show, we could pull it off. There is no lack of talent. However, the ambition of changing set-up and line-up with each song, remains difficult. And I can't ask for more time because then we would be a band and the demands would be different. <br /><br />The other thing I've learned is that it's very difficult to do all the production myself. Organizing everyone, figuring times and dates, emails, phone calls, then the promo, fliers, invites, etc. All the details: costumes, set list, and this time I made a zine. I need to learn how to distribute better or do less (although that doesn't seem to be an option considering I always think I fall short- even though it's a relatively large production considering the resources). I was happy that Cari & Christine and others stepped up to the plate in the end when I was too tired. But my performance did suffer because of all the stress in production and unexpected last minute issues. <br /><br />So I have figured out a solution/idea for the next show...<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.mondaymorningmemo.com/mmm_images/WhyMostAdsDontWork.jpg">DOHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438771610433895478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332779594743795695.post-34280095699387771052009-06-09T20:32:00.000-07:002009-07-27T13:41:07.270-07:00A Response.hi deeena,<br /><br />you totally had an excellent show Sunday.<br /><br />i've seen an overloaded vanload of well intentioned diverse shows over this vast plane of time, and your's stands as the best i've seen in 33 years.<br /><br />your event was a momentous success.<br /><br />thanks,<br />JFDOHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438771610433895478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332779594743795695.post-34360741083606208152009-06-08T12:19:00.000-07:002009-06-09T00:13:22.123-07:00Success.Last night was incredible. The whole evening.<br /><br />Will go into more later, I have packing to do, but...<br /><br />NBB.5 came together so complexly and intricately.<br /><br />A black cat even came and visited us on stage.<br /><br />Over 200 people were there, fantastic for a Sunday night.<br /><br />More later ... and will post photos as soon as they get to me! Samantha Gore, Eli Welbourne, and Fernando Flores were taking photographs so there will be some good ones!<br />Nick Smith got video.. though I'm reluctant to share much of that. I find the LIVE aspect especially important for nanobangbang-- being that it is a one time occasion. It's special and when you are not in that space and time, it loses meaning and intention. Being that it is a one time occasion, capturing it for documentation's sake seems all the more important. <br /><br />I think a new favorite way to describe nbb might be..<br />spec·ta·cle (spkt-kl)<br />Noun<br />1.<span style="font-weight:bold;">a. Something that can be seen or viewed, especially something of a remarkable or impressive nature.<br />b. A public performance or display, especially one on a large or lavish scale.</span><br />c. A regrettable public display, as of bad behavior: drank too much and made a spectacle of himself.<br />2. spectacles<br />a. A pair of eyeglasses.<br />b. Something resembling eyeglasses in shape or suggesting them in function.<br /><br /><br />spectacle<br />Noun<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1. a strange, interesting, or ridiculous scene<br />2. an impressive public show</span>: the opening ceremony of the Olympics was an impressive spectacle<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3. make a spectacle of oneself to draw attention to oneself by behaving foolishly </span>[Latin spectare to watch] <br /><br />---<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/deenaburgergood/3607696003/" title="Picture 14 by DeenaOodles, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2450/3607696003_205c86223b_m.jpg" width="230" height="240" alt="Picture 14" /></a><br /><br />1 Margarita 1h and 30 before the show adds up to a more relaxed (letting things roll off your shoulders) but not sloppy (still focused) show.

Now they are both playing keys, Stef also sings, Rosemary also works the drum machine, and I'm doing the same percussion as I was last time (effected mic on a floor tom) but also the tambourine stick and sing once.<br /><br />Super liking the new song but totally different vibe than the previous one. Which was Stef on distorted bass and Rosemary on slide guitar. This one is a sweeter song. The other one had a pocahaunted vibe. <br /><br />Show's tomorrow night.

Going for a Miami Vibe I think becauae of my pool. Was Cari's idea to tweak the standard Nanobangbang scheme of black & white, now it's white and black. We added a dash of red to everyone, one article thanks to Christine.<br /><br />Eating chocolate covered espresso beans.<br /><br />Feel like drinking wine tomorrow night.<br /><br /><br />-DeenaOHDOHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18438771610433895478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332779594743795695.post-70241425320307410282009-06-05T13:07:00.000-07:002009-06-09T02:24:37.737-07:00Note New Order<span style="font-style:italic;">Set List for nbb.5 has been tweaked after noticing that Stef & Amanda's songs should be side by side...<br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">NBB.5: HIGH FIVE</span><br /><br />VOGUE OFF DANCE FIGHT: Christine, Deena, Anna, & AoD<br /><br />INTRO (Melissa)<br /><br />VARIETY SHOW CASE:<span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />1.
