While he hasn't yet gotten around to titling the pieces, Matt Hembree has the first recorded evidence of Yanari/PFF(F)T!, from our 4.29.2009 stand at Lola's 6th, online at Katboy's PFFFFT! Archive. Terry Horn has posted some vid from the same show on Yanari's Virb page.

The players are Terry Horn (turntables, laptop), Matt Hickey (electric gopichand, synth), Matt Hembree (bass), Jon Teague (drums), Ken Shimamoto (gtr), and Mark Cook (Warr gtr, loops).

So there!

...from T. Carl Whitmer's "The Art of Improvisation" (1934), quoted in Derek Bailey's "Improvisation: Its Nature and Practice in Music" (1992):

"Don't look forward to a finished and complete entity. The idea must always be kept in a state of flux."

"An error may be only an unintentional rightness."

"Do not get too fussy about how every part of the thing sounds. Go ahead. All processes are at first awkward andclumsy and 'funny.'"

"Polishing is not at all the important thing; instead strive for a rough go-ahead energy."

"Do not be afraid of being wrong; just be afraid of being uninteresting."

Color us surprised! The Fort Worth Weekly has an article about PFFFFT! in this week's ish:

Check it out. Immagonna!

If you'd like to hear more of our music, you'll find MP3s of our first two shows (and part of the third until Matt gets around to uploading the "Eric Harris set") on Katboy's PFFFFT! Archive. You'll also find links there to Ken's blogged impressions of the shows, if you enjoy that sort of thing, and anything else we feel like putting up. A caveat: Please don't ask us to play any of your "favorites" from the recordings at our shows -- each PFFFFT! performance is a one-time event. We're actually trying not to repeat ourselves. Let's see how far we get.
