Relentless sampling and electronic manipulation performed live using custom electronics! Fans of Squarepusher be warned! We’ll be joined by Manhole (increase manhole awareness!) and Nightcap (ft. Steve Jolley)

My Dear Disco [Dancethink, Pop] plans to release their full-length album in the coming months, which I did a lot of work on (Recording [bass], Editing [drums], Mastering and Post-Production.) Check them out if you haven’t already.

Rob Moran [Acoustic, Alternative] has been working on his debut album with me in the past few months. The full-length album is scheduled for an early fall release date.

Inkblot [Electroacoustic, Noise, Circus] has begun work with me on what is to be their sophomore release. I recently played bass with the band for a number of interesting shows in the Ann Arbor area. Inkblot plans a local CD release early in October.

Here’s a remixed version of Fashion’s Latest, which I originally composed and recorded almost 2 years ago, with new additions. Dan Sutherland of the band Aleph-1 played drum kit. This version of the song is to be featured on an upcoming Block-M Records release. Please comment.

I’ve had some trouble pairing my bluetooth device with Max/MSP, but it works. Initial testing was done with the tilt controlling the pitch, which was pretty interesting way to play a bass. The device uses the popular WiTilt controller. I should be able to post video of the accelerometer in action soon.

This comprovisation is based on an improvised recording session with guitarist Steve Jolly. It still needs some work… hasn’t been completely mastered, etc.
