  Hello there to the occasional person that might read a Sedrick blog.  I thought I'd fill you in on Sedrick activities which have taken a bit of a shift lately.  The main writers of Sedrick are reorganizing the project and moving in a more experimental direction.  Many thanks to the group "Club Love Love Club Cult" who invited us (William and Lillian of Sedrick) to participate in a couple songs with them at Zaphod's.  What an experience to play along improvising (Will on guitar, Lil on melodica and occasional backup vocals) and then to listen/watch the rest of their set.  This is music that is masterminded and collectively executed by an exceptionally talented bunch of artists.  We were very honored to participate and become part of their sound extravaganza!

William and Lillian have also started a little improvisational project called "Ablyss"--so far we've recruited one amazing drummer Jason Fawcett to join us for a couple of our free jams.  We are hoping to play a Nomad Gallery show in January and we'll keep you posted on that!   Our free jams are somewhat like free jazz except they come from a rock/punk background.  Anything goes and we respond in the moment.   It's about trust and relying on your ear to make on the spot decisions.

We are still hoping to keep Sedrick going with new material in the new year.  If you are a drummer and our music speaks to you please contact us!

That sounds pretty cool. We do something similar with our jams except it has a more psychedelic/rock emphasis than punk/rock. In fact I would say that we thrive on it. That is why when we play I always introduce the band as lead guitar, lead bass and lead drummer.

That's cool -- when I think of all members playing lead that makes me think of progressive rock in particular. If everyone is equally lead playing together that's kind of nice...unless nobody is listening to each other and trying to play over each other. That's where you're probably using your witchcraft to make a solid potion! It would be nice to have a sense of all the bands in Ottawa that jam in an experimental way --- maybe we can collectively put a list together.

Yes, being able to hear everyone is key. It does not work at all when there is bad soiund.
