Norns is quickly becoming my favorite end-of-chain guitar processor. Cranes, Bounds, Otis, MLR, all over this track.

(Nod to @okyeron- the word “fates” has been stuck in my head as of late, no doubt due to that thread…)

This year’s acousmatic piece:

featuring tiny sounds, heavy granular action, crotales, rediscovered sounds from years ago recorded to MiniDisc™ using earbuds as microphones, a party in a park, scraped (drum)skins, unheard voices foretelling what happened, a desert field, —

My other label just announced we are releasing the new Blockhead album ‘Bubble Bath’ in November alongside this new single out yesterday, for fans of sample-y, hip-hop-ish, stuffs:

I compiled this release of modular improvisations that I created over the past couple of years. Mainly Ciat-Lonbarde, Serge, Buchla, Mutable and BugBrand. Spent the better part of the last five years feeling unsettled and migrating from one system to another, learned a lot through this process and found my own way of integrating my practice into each format. Free d/l ~ pay what you want.

Made a short performance video (filmed by @Angela) showing off some of the “turntable snare” stuff I’ve been worked on. Also filmed an explanation video too.

I did my first solo performance with my modular setup yesterday at Les Digitales, Bern

I was quit nervous and sadly rushed the first part. I tried to look at the recorder’s clock to avoid rushing but got caught in the (awesomely good) moment and damn, at some point I realized that I was too far away in the progression. And also anecdotally my delay module just stopped working for a whole minute during the show.

Quit exciting though and I’m really looking forward to reiterate the experience.

My next album / LP, to be released on September 6th 2019. Listen to the sound snippets here:

I decided to toss up a live set from around a year ago. It was the first solo set I played since my band broke up. I was just beginning to process a lot of hurt and sadness, so I couldn’t really revisit the music until recently. Now that I’m in a much more positive place, I feel comfortable sharing what ended up being the very beginning of a musical journey that has taken me to a lot of new places in a short time. These songs no longer reflect my current sound, but are a document of the early stages of healing and growth.

Here are three 1min excerpts from my performance at the Whitney Museum last month.

If you look closely behind me you can spot @tehn + @Galapagoose sitting on a rug :slight_smile:

They sent me the whole 38min cut but I haven’t decided if I should upload it or not.
