About Me

Hi, this is the myspace page of K. Paul A/K/A OTOLATHE. I play music for people. I am part of the Analog Synthesizer Ensemble with Hal McGee and Jay Peele. I also play with the CRASH MITCHELL FIVE. Josh Sherman and I run the MEATRONIC RECORDINGS netlabel. My tunes on this page can be extremely diverse, which reflects my nearly random musical tastes. You might find spaghetti western soundtrack music here, or ambient, or glitch, or solo bass, or noise, or drum n bass, or modular analog synth explorations, or tape manipulations, or guitar wankery. I get bored sometimes.

    Beat-matching LFO’s

    Anyone else doing this?  I believe I am being too proud of myself.  The problem is all these pedals that incorporate a LFO (e.g., the rate knob on a chorus, or the LFO knob on the ...

    indie rock hypnogogic language

    Indie rock was a long bubble that appeared in the linoleum. We scraped the bubble and put the shards into some manhattan clam chowder, thus making a kind of stew. We served it to everybody.
