Alternate West

2/12/2012: Album idea: "Alternate West", all songs that use an alternate tuning of some kind. Use only guitars and basses, with the bass treated more as guitar, run through guitar effects. No drums. Use some of strategies as well. Make it sound like William Eggleston...

[This eventually became both Music For Photographs--which included a photo by Eggleston (Red Room Mississippi) and Frontiers].

This is one of the things that is useful about keeping a diary. All musicians have ideas, but the fact that they were written down may make them more likely to be acted upon. The "Alternate West" title came from a road sign.
