Modernstate

::: fine wines, snow-flakes, modernstate shows. complex in character and no two are ever the same. lap steel. glockenspeil & guitar. keys, casio beats and live drums. atmosphere/noize/vocals.

::: highwater mootboot was designed to fall asleep to. it'll give you weird dreams and might even wake you up should you fall asleep too soon. unlike asparagus, however, it will not make yr pee smell funny. thanks alan singley.

::: there's emotion here. thought out and combined sparingly with other creative elements. heart rendering at times, contemplative at others. never over-bearing.

::: this is a one man band both live and in the studio. sam schauer, creator... live, magical powers and looping pedals congeal in the air about yr face and appendages. no pre-recorded parts are ever used. no lap-tops, no cd players. everything created live and on the fly before yr very eyes. the recorded form of these songs holds true to the live form, respecting the technological processes that must be gone through to achieve what must be the ultimate goal: live performance. ---> "artists statement".
