Pretty darn funky, but this one is really about recording & timbral differences, now that I think about it.

I made some music with my odd sequencer! You can read about the sequencer, or try it out, or just listen – one album is 808 drum explosions, one is FM synths minimalism / ambience.
Halfway there, six weeks early. Saying that <a thing> will take one’s mind off the current slow-motion disaster is trite – but this one is for you anyways.

Some jazzbo hepcat once made an album in like 27/8 and so forth – a sort of deliberately weird version of Time Out – but in the liner notes he said that he was making music for future generations, that The Olds wouldn’t understand. Amusingly, we’re still mostly in four; just very fast and with crazy polyrhythms.

I don’t think this recipe exists on the internet, and it came up at work, so here it is. This is an adjustment by my Mom of, we are pretty sure, the above Chipits recipe.
1 cup margarine / butter 1 cup brown sugar
1 and 3/4 cups flour 1 and 1/2 cups oats 1/2 cup oat bran 1/2 cup dried coconut 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup water 1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350F
Stir together dry ingredients
Add vanilla to water
Cream butter and sugar together
Add dry ingredients alternately with the water & vanilla
Drop from a teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheets
Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned
Makes 60 cookies
Some notes! – I have never got 60 cookies out of this recipe, but I tend to eat a lot of the batter. – You can replace the raisins with chocolate chips, nuts, as you see fit. – My very wise younger sister added a dash of black pepper, which I recommend. – Most dried coconut in the US of A is big chunks – you want something more “shredded”, like these.
