We need an all-locals synth-pop concert with Mirror Monster, Same Eyes, FFANGS, and Kawsaki.</p> </blockquote> <p>Great idea Chris! We are so down for that.</p> <p>Read about it <a href="https://pulp.aadl.org/node/579645">here</a></p>

Isolation Sundaze is a collective recording project lead by Ann Arbor saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist <a href="https://unblo-fact.bandcamp.com/">Jacob Lachance</a> and Ann Arbor ex-pat and now Louville based guitarist Brandon Mitchell.</p> <p>For many of us, Michael and I included, it started as a way of coping with the isolation imposed by that pandemic. Each week, some combination of 4-8 or so regular contributers get together and compose music. The process works like the drawing game “Esquisite Corpse”. Each musician has 30m in which to write and record a part of a song. That recording is then passed to the next musician in the lineup and they then have 30m to write and record a part. At the end of several hours of this chaos a handful of new songs are “complete”.</p> <p>The results are posted to bandcamp with minimal editing.</p> <p>Read about it <a href="https://aadl.org/node/578680">here</a>.</p>
