Cosmists-First Flight

Cosmists is a branch of the Cloud Shepherd collective of musicians.
Cosmists is made up of Andrew Joron on Theremin and myself on Cloud Kit.
The recording here is our first, and I hope that there will be more to follow.

Digital recording- Failure Cock, Strategy Pills, session 2

Last night Scarp and I were joined over at Scarp's S.F. studio by the great Bay Area musician Dean Santomieri, who put guitar tracks down on two of the Strategy Pills jams from July.  We're getting closer to completing it!

Above: Dean lays in with his nimble-fingered attack!

We have one more session tentatively scheduled with Dean, then it will be time to mix the sucker!
