R. Stevie Moore ~ cuz, love.

R. Stevie Moore has been a neat influence on my experiments w/ making sounds, with recording. i was living in an old farmhouse in Maine for a stint, and we began skyping; i was smitten. he encouraged me to record. i began documenting stream of consciousness ramblings that were primarily about my dreams. before all this, i'd seen R. perform a few months earlier in Brooklyn. i subsequently dedicated myself to learning about him. i saw him several more times when i returned to Brooklyn, which was dope. it has admittedly been awhile since we've connected (R. + k) ... and i miss him. for whatever reasons, i felt like paying homage to him on my blog today.

dude's a rockstar, first of all. he's been coined the godfather of "DIY" and "lo-fi" música. click here.

"In addition to having numerous albums released on labels around the world, Moore has self-released over 400 cassette, CD-R and digitally online albums since 1968, as well as dozens of home videos, mostly through the R. Stevie Moore Cassette Club, his home-based label. His eclectic work incorporates a variety of musical styles, both popular and experimental."
