Earlier this month at Cleveland ConCoction we premiered "The Mushrooms of Arcadia" as a dramatic stage reading, our first full length three-act commedia dell'arte pastorale that also thematically parodies Super Mario Bros!
Check back this weekend to watch the recording of our action fantasy of twin brothers, magical pipes, sinister fungus, and nymphs trapped in another castle!
It's the first day of Spring! A season of growing green and beautiful blossoming colors, just how The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company like it!
Sometime this Spring we anticipate taking our "Adoration on Arcadia" outdoors to a park or woods to fully embrace a natural setting for our first commedia dell'arte pastorale!

Sun City Girls: 330,003 Crossdressers From Beyond the Rig Veda
This album has some of their weirdest and best "hit songs", beautiful instrumentals, and some sublime, sometimes droney, improvisational pieces featuring violin. A fantastic album, and probably their best?

Thoughts continue - meander. Though seemingly less directed, there is a form of order. Wandering is simply a form of searching for something you don't yet know you're looking for.

One month ago for Zipcon at the University of Akron, we demonstrated more plays inspired by the semi-improvisational early age of classic Japanese theatrical comedy kyōgen! Now you can watch our "Mad Words" on YouTube or Facebook!

Last month we returned to Zipcon at the University of Akron to demo plays inspired by the early improv period of kyōgen, historic Japanese comedic theatre!
We finished our master + foolish servant series of "Mad Words" with the full act 武悪 ("Buaku the Living Ghost")!
Another recurring idea for a #musicGame is to separate playing music and doing in-game moves. You basically join the music when it's not your turn.
The game may have any turn-based mechanics, but its #tabletop representation should yield itself well to musical interpretation.
This is a design area with hopes for great complexity, some #eurogame-adjacent potential. But arguably, musical #improvisation may cover any #boardgame...

It's MAR10 so Happy MARIO Day! We took this #MondayMotivation quote by the creator of "Super Mario Bros" himself to heart this past weekend at Cleveland ConCoction when we decided to not rush our commedia dell'arte pastorale parody of the game and instead do the best stage reading we could of "The Mushrooms of Arcadia"!
I hadn't done an #AmbientGuitar #improvisation in quite a while, so I thought I'd give it a go.
