This is the first photo I ever took. I took it with a 1978 Nikon FE. That camera is currently at Central Camera getting repairs and the original 50mm Nikon brand (not Nikkor) is getting cleaned and lubed. I’m so stoked. I’m also posting this to announce that I am moving my annual photo series (This week in Pictures) to Tumblr in hopes to share with more people. It’s currently on Journaling site www.billtucker.wordpress.com. This Week in Pictures spans photos that I have taken everyday and posted in week batches to show connection and disconnection, theme and mood, etc. This year will be the third year of the series. I am excited to announce that I will not be taking digital photos this year but I will using the Nikon FE. So it may take longer to post each week’s set but hopefully the results will be closer to what I am going for. The series will start on March 1st and end on April 30. Images will be posted as soon as they are processed and scanned and sometimes the series actually see’s it’s completion in late May or Early June. I am expecting a longer series this year due to film development and choosing the best photos from each roll. To see the first year of the series please go here: http://billtucker.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/this-week-in-pictures/ The beginning is weaker than the ending because I was able to learn tricks with the camera to create more interesting photos. To see the second year: http://billtucker.wordpress.com/2011/02/ I find the 2nd year more satisfying in the way that it wasn’t about learning the camera anymore, it was mostly about what I was moved by. Make sure to come back in March and see the beginnings of the 3rd installment, and some new material from the new 3 piece Bill Tucker and Friends.

ORCHARDS

This is the front cover for the (sometime) upcoming album title ORCHARDS, to be release on 1980 Records.

It may take time to actually release this album as it has been 13 years since the first song for this album was written. It’s pretty much the album I have always wanted to release but haven’t gotten around to. In the meantime I have decided to upload a couple of potential songs that will fit the theme of the album on MySpace. Please click the following link below to listen to MOVEMENTS and DAYTIME AND ME. Hope you like them.

COMPUTER MAGIC (freeport, il)


hey bill, im going by the name,” computer magic “  and the piece is entitled, wormholes. It’s about  two things but not at the same time, there will be sampling and some screaming. it runs about 4 minutes then a small pause then another 7. Im sending a picture i took, of a picture of me. ill bring pickles for you. copy this email as my bio. the whole thing. thanks.

eternally, andy

Mallow Hazard (rockford)


Mallow Hazard’s sound is made up of many weird things but very relaxed, with no sharp edges(Well,maybe a little). It might seem that he is an anarchists, nihilist, watercolorist, virginalist, or maybe even an enzymologist but he doesn’t really think of this. Hope you enjoy the show.

Thom Stebbins (freeport, il)

Thom’s last set for EAS#6 was excellent. Thom’s music cannot be put into any specific category and he’s always surprising me. With home built instruments and a great sense for improv his set proves to be nothing short of epic.

City Harvest Black (rochester, ny)

City Harvest Black has a deep intrisic connection to sounds and is hypnotic in his approach. follow the golden watch with yr eyes and listen to his voice. you will awaken in beautiful landscapes of sound. not to be missed.

Lincoln Johns (chicago, il)

CQAL 2011 photo slideshow Here’s a handful of photo’s from last weekends Chautauqua Art Lab in St. Louis. It was great meeting new people and seeing talented artists and musicians do what they do best. The images burned in my mind are the kind that won’t be forgotten. Thanks for making being a musician fun and memorable.

Chautaqua Art Lab Day 2

Last night was great! We started out at Fort Gondo and checked out their current exhibition and then Allen and I went to set up for the outdoor showing of his film Shut the Mouth at the Cherokee Street Re-al Garden. On less then 24 hours notice I had the chance to rehearse the live score with the film 3 times and I was happy to say that it went off without a hitch! The breeze lightly blew the sheet that the movie was projected on and the sounds of the city mixed in beautifully with the images and music.

Tonight there’s going to be a fun outdoor show at local STL artist’s Dr. Bill’s installation space/yard and house! So much art! Everything starts up around 6:30 p.m. and music and dance performances will start around 7 p.m. Potluck too! Vegan friendly options available!

Tomorrow will the be the debut performance for my new project, Lincoln Johns. I hope to see my STL friends there! The schedule is here.

Thanks to everyone making my weekend so great! Best, Bill
