William Switzer - The Final Solo Recordings

William Switzer was Jason Bill and Mike Switzer (Kid Ornery's given name). We released one CD - The Illusion of Technique - on Fleece Records... The critics, well, they mostly ignored it, but some, well, some hated it. The girl I dated for a brief period after we recorded it asked if we were depressed at the time, and if we were listening to what we were doing... and of course we think it's a fun record, and we were listening as closely as either of us were capable of at the time... This is our last duo session - probably recorded at the Charalambihouse. I also have unreleased trio sessions with Dave Dove, and Heather Murray. Just got a call from a friend saying that Christina Carter will be on the next DJ Shadow record... crazy... I need to see if I can contact her about releasing some of the CCM recordings - Christina Carter, Charlie Naked, Mike Switzer - some of her earliest piano work and all kinds of interesting noises. But anyway, back to William Switzer... We were awesome and sometimes unlistenable...but mostly awesome. Jason went on to record with Jack Rose and Migrantes... I went on to do all the crazy stuff you've been listening too on previous eps of this podcast... and now - I'm directing a play - http://www.myspace.com/theaddingmachine and Charlie Naked along with members of TDU, Free Radicals, Infant Mortality Rate and Friendship Bracelets (among others) are making the music for the show... should be amazing... blah blah blah... just listen to the craziness already - 4 tracks various instrumentation K.O.
