Craque

I have a few Slacks (as in chats, not pants) with #music and #jams channels where I feel obligated to post music I find good.

Probably around five years ago now, while much further in the depths of a thrice-laid-off financial hole the technology industry bestowed upon me, I became fixated with actually building my own electronic instruments.

Here’s my own collection of aural glass animals for you to enjoy… a mix of groovy and beaty dreamscapes (3:38 @ 256K cbr mp3), recorded live for the Fullerton Art Walk on Friday (April 6), accompanying tattoo artist Jon Kelly (known for Olde Tyme Tattoo) as he applies his latest in biomechanical fashion.

As you may or may not know, 2012 is the Centennial of John Cage’s birth, and among its many celebrants (including myself, details to come…) is “transmission arts” collective Free103point9, who work in conjunction with WGXC 90.

Just in case you missed it, SoundWalk Long Beach 2011 is just around the corner!

Here we go… I’ve optimized the way I’m using power, love the way the dual jfet opamps (TL082) sound, and have the mixing elements mostly decided.

Incredibly, when I was a young boy I assumed everyone was supposed to know everything.

This past weekend we presented ourselves in regalia of the zombie, partying until the early single digits at my good friend Chad’s.
