I Fall into Her Hollow Eyes :: TK Major w/ one blue nine :: Jeff Turmes, sax; Michael Rothmeyer. ghost guitar The root of this track was a recorded duo improv between Mike Rothmeyer (guitar loops) and TK Major (keyboard loops) released as Rothmeyer and Frippenstein. (Frippenstein was Major’s solo improv synth loop act, the name a tribute to Robert Fripp’s own Frippertronics.) One day while multi-instrumentalist/songwriter, Jeff Turmes, was at Major’s little home-based studio, mixing some tracks he’d recorded at his own home, he happened to hear the Rothmeyer & Frippenstein tracks and offered to cut a sax part to one on the spot. Major readily agreed, and the new mix appeared as a bonus track on subsequent releases of the Rothmeyer & Frippenstein album. A few years later, on a whim, Major decided to see if he could lay bass and drums across the more or less free time track. Perhaps because of the ‘natural’ rhythms of the echo loops, it somehow sort of worked, much to his delight and amazement. (Frippenstein became Tranz Azul which transmogrified into one blue nine, kinda.) Many years later (that would be earlier tonight), Major decided on yet another whim that he should throw together a quick vid (there is, of course, little or no such thing, at least not around chez TK). He found a series of photos of doll’s eyes — in and out of dolls — and used various video effects to give them a sort of anime look.
