I.<\/b> I started an Amazon list a couple nights ago at 5am, hit with a bad bout of insomnia and going through all the books in my head that I haven’t had time to read yet.

I hope to put some documentation of the piece I did up soon… Suffice it to say that it was a 5 Meter Power Chord<\/b> made of piano wire stretched between two columns in the room and run through a rat’s nest of distortion pedals before making it’s way to a borrowed Crown amp\/JBL speaker cab pair which crudely functioned as my “stack”.
