For example last September we played at the Burning Man Festival in the Black rock Desert in Nevada. We drove 6700 miles round trip nearly nonstop. Most musicians jam when they practice together. Every track on the record comes from a live 'jam session'. We've recorded some songs multiple times, but it seems impossible to best that initial moment of creation.
Parturition is never workmanlike.
The first Bionaut gig that I remember was at a Summer Solstace event held by some black magic people in an art gallery. I remember that Paul was nearly devoured by demons, and I had had to do most of the set by myself. His shit was talking backwards to him or something. Playing at Burning Man last Labor Day was by far tbe most memorable. We played two nights, both were incredible.
