about

This is a recording of a solo performance at Uncle Lou's in Orlando, FL for Thomas Milovac's birthday show on December 27th, 2022. I played unamplified accordion, along with a tape recorded at home of myself improvising on drums, toy harps, and a battery powered FirstAct keyboard. The tape was played back on a portable battery powered tape recorder, the same one used to record it. The performance was recorded on a portable Zoom digital audio recorder.

As far as I can remember, Thomas was the first person to ever ask me to free improvise on accordion, back in 2017. I had requested on facebook for people to send me simple prompts upon which I would record short improvisations. Thomas gave me the prompt "Inner Radiance", and specifically requested that I play it on accordion. Not long after that we got together at my house to record some duo improvisations with him on upright bass and myself on guitar and accordion, which became the record "inner Radiance".

The album cover used here is a photo in my backyard of my accordion next to a painting by Thomas Milovac titled "Eola Synthesis" which lives in my house.
