Huh (1998)


My brother, Casey, is a phenomenal guitarist, and one night in September '98 he (20 at the time) and I (on bass) improvised several songs into the trusty Portastudio.  After burning through two 90 minute tapes (22.5 minutes each on the Tascam), we switched instruments and nearly filled up a third.  We'd not yet

recorded anything together, and for some apparently forgettable reason we decided to call ourselves Huh.

I later added the drums and keys, and originally "released" the CD with 9 tracks.  During remixing (for this web page) I unearthed a tenth "acceptable" tune, endowing it with a predictably anagrammatic name.  Four songs will probably remain unfinished.

On track 4 Casey and I covered Pink Floyd's "One of These Days," and track 2 was a song he'd previously written.  Everything else here was improvised (on guitar & bass; obviously the drum and keys work was 'aftermarket').  Tracks 1 through 6 and 10 feature Casey on the guitar; on tracks 7 - 9 he tends the bass (as yours, truly mangles the wah-wah pedal).

Not bad for a night of drinking, smoking, and just making shit up, Huh?
