Hi guys! I’m excited to share this with you all. It’s the latest MUSIC VIDEO I’ve been working on featuring the electronics version of Aaron Cassidy’s The wreck of former boundaries.

I approached Aaron with a simple idea: to film him while he listened to his own piece, and to my delight he agreed. I wanted to see–and show–how he considers the work he knows intimately well as creator. I hope you can see what I see in it.

Please watch in HD–it makes a difference.

oh, that is truly beautiful. it almost implies a new genre: artists contemplating their work? perhaps that exists, I don’t know, but it’s wonderful - and especially so because I was unfamiliar with that piece

Thanks! And I don’t think I’ve ever seen it done before either (I’m more than happy to be introduced to examples if anyone knows of any.)
One day, when I saw him listening to an excerpt of the piece (because I was sitting in on a discussion with him), the simplicity (and poetry?) of that idea really moved me.

What could be as dense with meaning as the image of a person candidly/genuinely react to the thing that they made? He knows each fraction of a second intimatly well, so he can “track” it better than anyone else. And we can see his face as he does this. Each moment is hi-res significance.

There are other things in it too (and I’m currently writing a blog post about it all) but the importance of this one aspect can’t be overstated.

Thanks for watching it :slight_smile:

I played an improvised show last night at a local bar. Here’s the recording straight from the main board.

New Ansible firmware was a godsend! Allowed me to get this patch going with my Tempest drum machine, changing patterns on the Kria sequencer in sync. Phuns.

Been very happy about my switch to a Grid/ Ansible setup- here’s a video of a new song and how I do things in a live setting.

I have a new 7" record. Available digitally as well but the record is made to order and only available for a week. Link below. Taylor Deupree did an amazing job with the mastering (as always).

It’s been a while. Max programmed drums, thuds, clicks, little bits of ear candy.
