What I Been Up to (Ben S.)

Hey Future Folks,

Thought I might update the ol' blog on my goings on. As you may or may not no, I have my own blog under my nom de recording - Mute with Stupefaction. Below are some links and updates, featuring many of your favorite FFR artists.

1) I wrote a string quartet and some people performed it. You can read about it here and look at the score for it here. aliza_do_lots and Sylvia Ryerson also wrote quartets - looking forward to seeing them here eventually!

2) I've got a new song/demo up, recorded in the apartment shared by Green Grocer and Sewing Machines. You can hear it here. Special acknowledgment to this song goes to Asa Horvitz and Claire Staples, friends and contributors to Future Folk, whose theater production "The Secret Science of Forgetting" inspired the song. I also hope to see material from that production here eventually.

3) I have been doing a lot of photoshopping. Below is my take on Green Grocer:



4) Sewing Machines is going on tour!! Here's to you, America! Hope to see many of you soon.

BOOOSH,
ben
