If you’re not familiar with Jonny Rodgers from all of our frequent collaborations, this would be a good time to check him out. Just take a moment to watch the tuned-glass master lay down layer after looping layer of goodness in a sneak peak of his new material.
Jonny Rodgers - Everything Is Yours
19 Tuned Wine Glasses, Guitar, Softstep, Axiom25, Ableton Live
Early sketches for the traveling wine-o-phone. Cinematic Underground tour, 2005
We used tuned wine glasses quite a bit on the score for Brick, but as we prepared for the US Cinematic Underground tour, I started thinking about a way to travel with them. Little did I know that my eventual collaborator Jonny Rodgers was simultaneously working on a design, which would go on to accompany the Faux Fix tour years later. His version was much more reliable (the glasses were glued in to a flight case with built-in mics), and while ours were taped into a rickety suitcase, we did think to fill it with christmas lights, so at least that was a score on the visual side of things.
Hi folks! Here are a few more photos by Brendan David Coyne that recently surfaced via spiritedmag from the Faux Fix show in Boston. The bottom photo almost convinced me that we were touring in 1978.
Thanks to Amanda for hosting a great evening.

Faux Fix Live
Here’s a little vignette that a friend cut together from one of our shows in Nashville. We’ve just added more dates in Boston this weekend, and we’ve got a brand new soon-to-be-announced New York show coming up on the 21st in case any of you city-dwellers missed the last two.

Noah was wondering about the light box effect in the photo I posted of Jonny opening the Faux Fix shows… It’s actually a bundle of Christmas lights in the base of the glass case snaking around the stems.
Ooooh, pretty!
(Sorry for the clunky photo reply but I can’t figure out another way of doing it from the tumblr app. Also, Noah, we miss you!)
