Saturday, April 8, 2006 New Stuff Check out our Myspace site at   http://www.myspace.com/andersonmodernmusic     It is going to have more stuff than this site but if you want to buy something this is the place.  The blog will be there along with much more music and pictures. 7:15 pm edt Thursday, January 26, 2006 Had to. Fred, Sean and our older brother Emory attempted to snowboard.  We did it at Sugarbush in Vermont, which was norman rockwell-esque beauty.  Needless to say it was as if we were in a boxing match recieve concussions, bruised tailbones, and other soreness which has made our lives uncomfortable and severly diminished the music output, and yet I (Fred) can not wait to go again.  6:23 pm est Thursday, December 29, 2005 Happy New Year Whatever happened to the free spirits in music?  It seems that there is less good music and less individualists in music every year.  Is there a reason? There is many I think the main reason is the non-conformist is less pressured by outside influences and generally follows there own muse and can't be manipulated.  Maybe we can hope to have a little more of the eccentrics in the new year. 6:51 pm est Monday, December 26, 2005 Happy Holidays Been a little slow on the web site lately. So I have made a resolution to add more stuff, and make the site a little more user friendly (less load time).  Sean and I are going to try some home recording in the new year.  The main culprit in our web prodution productivity is our brand new Xbox360 which is hooked to a new lcd tv and the free tascam studio moniter speakers that I got for buying the home studio. 9:01 am est Saturday, December 3, 2005 Pictures I have posted a couple of pictures on the about us page.  We just recorded some more music with Plasma. This time we have our good friend George Haviland playing with us.   5:09 pm est Sunday, November 27, 2005 IT IS HERE! On the our music page you will find a free 4 minute download of a 45 minute long piece.  You can purchase the entire cd for 7.99. The musicians on this recording are; Fred Anderson-Percussion Sean Anderson-Reeds Herb Robertson-Brass Chris Lough-Bass Bob Hovey-Trombone Steve Welsh-Reeds unknown guitarist It was recorded direct to a mini-disk player with one mic.  There are no overdubs or edits.  This piece was completely improvised on the spot with no written music or preconceptions. 6:04 pm est Monday, November 21, 2005 Trying to work the large free jazz stuff with the pro-tools we just got.  It is difficult setting up the m-audio firewire device with pro-tools and the computer but I finnally got the software to recognize the box (to use the non knob terminolgy) and I got to actually hear something coming out of the system.  Now I need a good way to hook up the mini-disk recordings to put them into pro-tools. It seems like I spend hours just learning the minimum.  I am also spending time trying to start the buisness end.  Things have changed in the true musician world so much in the past 20 years.  We now have to do alot more instead of just playing, including all the terrible buisness stuff. 11:26 am est Tuesday, November 15, 2005 Sean"s Art A little about the artwork.Sean is influenced by sacred geometry, mathematics,ancient art, metaphysics and modern science. If someone likes the stuff feel free to e-mail us.  Some of our older music is going to be showing up.  Our good friend Chris Lough on bass, Sean on woodwinds and Fred Anderson playing drums doing so psuedo-post bop music. There will also be some large free-jazz groups with legendary trumpet player Herb Robertson. 10:15 pm est Sunday, November 13, 2005 The first track is now ready (I think). This is a jazz/new-age/new music soundtrack for a television show by the group Plasma.  The group is a trio of Marlo on Keyboards, Sean Anderson on Bass and Flute and Fred Anderson on Percussion.  It is totally improvised and recorded directlly to a tascam 24 track porta-studio.  There are no overdubs or edits.  This was recorded at Marlo Studios on November 14, 2005. It is track 1 and its a little over 15 minutes. If you would like the other Trio (which is over 25 minutes) it is available for purchase. Go down the page and click to have the streaming version of the first trio. 10:24 am est Thursday, November 10, 2005 just starting out. We are going to try this out.
