Revenge Dance of the Fire Piano

by Tim Mungenast

/

about

This is an aleatoric piece I wrote back in the early 2000s -- I wrote the basic framework and general idea, plus some of the rhythms and the opening flute melody, then I let my amazing musician friends (credits below) take it from there. We all played together at a rehearsal space in Allston, MA. I used my 1920s banjo-uke and my trusty 1983 ESP "Daddy's Special" strat, a 1970 Fuzz Face, and a 1968 Vox Nova amplifier, with 2 wooden Hindu sculptures on either side of it to provide the amp with moral support.

The story?
It is a piano miracle!
The piano burns merrily but is not consumed!
The sky gods challenge it but it remains resolute and unperturbed.

about

Tim Mungenast Albany, New York

Tim Mungenast is a surrealist guitar shaman with an almost messianic sense of purpose. 

He plays both mystical improv and 60s-flavored rock that flirts with psychosis, featuring odd chords and even odder lyrics (not to mention some really weird sounds). His improbably catchy songs often melt into loopy extended jams a la early Pink Floyd.
