DON'T WORRY-

CONTRARY TO THE TONE OF THE END OF THIS VIDEO, ADRIAN BELEW IS NOT DEAD.

I want to see Adrian play his seagull sounds on some waterfront park with lots of seagulls around and see how they react to it. I noticed that my cats respond quite favorably whenever I play my fretless bass. I suppose it's the low-frequency "purr" and "growl" of it but whatever the reasoning behind it, the reaction is always the same and they start rubbing their heads on the amp and nuzzling it frantically. As soon as I stop, they snap out of it and look at my like, "Hey, why'd you stop?"

I saw him way back when & he had a lot of EHX boxes, tape echos. The stuff was everywhere. He made sounds that I never though possible from a guitar. His gear here is paired down quite a bit. What an a amazing guy.

Ade's feel for sound is transcendent.
