song 101 : Happy Accident (Tacoma Ballet)
All Tacoma Ballet tracks are 100% improvised freestyle except infrequent backing vocals. In this song I threw down the dare, summoning inspiration from artists like Jim Morrison and Patti Smith, exploring spontaneous creation in the belief that there are no mistakes if you pay close enough attention.
I’m singing to the band while the 2 inch 24 track tape was spinning: “What can this puppy do?” “Please do something wrong!” “There are no mistakes here. There are no mistakes!”
I was giving them the philosopher’s stone, the secret of the ages, the treasure Jimi Hendrix, Gertrude Stein, and Kerouac had taught me. But listen to the cowards! Do you hear any one of them freaking out into something inappropriate? No, they are committed to the groove. It pissed me off, but we made a good record together anyway.
