I just put this on Bandcamp

Computer music textures, primarily mangling older recordings.

Having been on a bit of a fixing spree recently, I just threw this EP together. Using restrictions as a fundamental part of the compositional process. All are made with a Doepfer Dark Energy II into a Yamaha FX500 (except the remix track; that’s also got a Roland CR8000 into the FX500 :slight_smile:

I’m pretty pleased with how it’s come out.

This was relaxing earlier today… really nice latticework. the sound palette reminds me a bit of Dystonia Duos, by Joe Panzner and Greg Stuart. some of the fine, glassy timbres going on…it’s calming, though. track 3 is lovely

Here’s a new one, enjoy!

Thank you. I’ll give Dystonia Duos a listen, I’m usually very interested if Greg Stuart is involved. I really like his work with Michael Pisaro.
I really like the textures made possible by mangling glass or porcelain objects. One of the samples being mangled in track 2 is a DC motor spinning a little metal chain hitting a small porcelain coffee cup. Such a nice colour.
And I’m really happy how track 3 turned out. It’s only a mangling of a single sample of me trying to put a lamp switch in an inbetween position to make the lamp flicker back and forth between its states, giving this clicking noise. When pitching it up I discovered this glassy tone, like the sustain from a piano note, in the background. So I just built it around that.

I have a new album coming out on Unknown Tone Records (https://unknowntonerecords.bandcamp.com/) next week. Pre-orders are now live. It features two side-long tracks that were built around 5-second tape loops. I used eurorack modular, OP-1, DIY cassette loops, effects pedals, and soft synths to create the music/sounds on the album. Digital only for now (with plans for a small tape run later this fall). Thanks!

Some Doepfer/Serge ultra-minimalism I’ve been working on for the last year or so.

My most recent finished track - some dark Legowelty beats. Percussion and drums are coming from the OP-Z, and synths are looped recordings of me playing the Nord Lead 2. Everything was arranged and processed in Ableton.

Here’s another proof-of-concept of my “neo -music easel”

Using gate outs from TSNM to swap between bass lines on René. Chords courtesy of Plaits.

Vanitas No. 1

Improvisation on Animoog

I just released two recent live recordings on Loma Editions (the catch-all home for all things by me and my friends).

I’m currently doing a small tour in Chile, so these kind of serve as digital tour CD-Rs. I hope you enjoy. More to come soon.

Thanks! (20 characters)

Put the synth on the floor and plugged it straight into my old iPad. I’m thinking René 1 into Quantermain is going to provide me with all the sequencing fun I can handle!

Me and @maxijazz turned our relatively recent disquiet performance into an album. I’m excited! It’s out now on most major platforms.

I’ve been going through a challenging transition these last couple of years, leaving a partnership in a large music company to now working on my own. I’m focusing on long-form scoring and my recording/performing as Dudadius. I just started a vlog to both chronicle the endeavor and to talk more specifically about geek town type stuff. One of the upcoming videos will be an in-depth breakdown of my performance rig (teletype/ansible/301/16n, etc…):

Spent most of a day rifling through old 4 track tapes and found some semi-interesting orphan tracks. I spent the following couple of days mixing a bit then threw it all together for this release. That’s my story:

My hope is this will be springboard for more projects. Instrumentation (as far as I can tell): Elektron Monomachine, Casio SK-1, Korg Volca FM, Boss DR110, Yamaha QY100, Korg ER1, Casio CZ-101, Tape loops, etc…
