The King of Court Jesters

Released 2009, recorded 2008

These were five tunes, most of which ended up on Adieu, False Heart, that Bill recorded to his laptop using Garageband, and the built-in microphone. Sound quality, given that, is remarkably good. The recordings are, in the main, overdubbed, with a variety of instruments, which makes for an interesting contrast with the solo versions that Bill ultimately went with on Adieu. He posted these tracks one at a time to the work-in-progress blog he was then maintaining, under the title "The King of Court Jesters." The title sticks, and the tunes stand nicely as an E.P.

This music is here to be listened to.  Show your appreciation in one of three ways: donate, purchase the physical CD using the Paypal button to the left, or, best of all, organize a house concert or hootenanny.

About

General Ludd Music is a group of musicians and listeners. It exists for the making and sharing of music, preferably through performance, either in house concerts, which take the form of one or a group of musicians playing formally for an audience, or in hootenannies, where musicians and listeners get together informally to play music.

General Ludd Music began in 1995 as a collaboration between Bill Foreman and Peter Giuliano. Over the course of the years since, a fairly large catalogue of releases accrued. They are available within for download under a Creative Commons license. Physical CDs are available for purchase. The recordings are wonderful, and will hopefully inspire participation.
