Tarpaulin Sky Press has made space for me to write some articles on (so far): a metamagickal practice routine for musicians; breath & musicianship; & astrology for guitar.

Trance-invoking sonic amazingness from BEYOND CAPTAIN ORCA!
This entirely improvised set of astral-travel rock miracle took place at Seattle’s High Dive, warming up the vibes for Nigerien guitarist Mdou Moctar & his magick band.
Thanks to the good will of forces beyond anyone’s control, we got a multitrack of the evening… which Mr. Endino spirited away & turned into a proper-sounding album… & now, straight to your sonic receptors, what some might call your ‘ears’!
PS - Jack is on FIRE on this recording… Skin Yard fans rejoice… This is indeed the Jack Endino guitar workout you’ve been waiting for.
Jack Endino … guitar
5-Track … bass
Patrick Lenon … drums
Here’s a lovely shot of Jack Endino & myself, taken by an alert Victoria Music Scene photographer during MKB ULTRA’s performance at the historic Novoselic-curated Central Saloon Stage, part of the very weird Upstream Festival that has squatted, like Baby Huey, upon Seattle’s Pioneer Square.
But hey, we had a great time! Thanks everyone!

2018/05/10 — Nice Day, Pretty Colors!, by Beyond Captain Orca!
2 track album
jack endino - guitar
amy denio - singing saxophone
5-Track - bass
james patrick lenon - drums
This music was recorded at Seattle’s LoFi Gallery on May 10 2018, a happy conversation between intelligent & eccentric friends.
Of historical interest—Amy & Jack have known each other for over thirty years but had never played music together before. Now they have. With luck it will happen again.
(To be fair, Amy & Patrick had never played before either. This may also be of historical interest.)
In addition, this music is dedicated—& was dedicated in the moment at the time of playing—to an orca named Tokitae, which means Nice Day, Pretty Colors! in Lummi (or so my research tells me). Tokitae has been performing 2 shows a day at Seaworld in Miami, Florida since 1970, when she was captured off Whidbey Island, Puget Sound (Whulge), Washington State. In Florida they call her “Lolita”.
The Lummi would like her returned, to a private cove on Puget Sound’s Orcas Island. Seaworld as of now is having none of it. As we played this music, or as it played us, a Lummi delegation began a mighty roadtrip from Seattle to Miami, bearing a freshly carved orca-&-seal totem pole, making many stops along the way to discuss their hopes for Nice Day, Pretty Colors! We wish them all the best.
(Thanks to alert listener Marla Katz for hipping us to all of this before showtime!)
