Focusing on interactive live performance, and studio exploration. Intent on preserving thought and experience through the most applicable means. Fine tuning multiple perspectives and realities into a cohesive segment.
Shortly after the midnight summer hour, near the time of the Solstice, on a metal ball carving it's way thru space in a place called Massachusettes, in the seventh decade of the twentieth century during a meteor shower, a child was born. Production of Art has always been a high concern. Gaining recognition for talents in the fields of the visual arts throughout time served in contemporary schools, attention to continued expression led to interest in musical instruments.
In the 1980's, abilities with the Saxophone, Keyboard and Sampler were nurtured and explored. Time was spent performing in orchestras and other traditional assemblages. As the late 80's came around, an irresistable urge to sidewalk surf overcame nearly all other art forms, the inventiveness of the sport and the extreme risk involved encompassed a great deal of neural pathways and database activities.
Record collecting had always been an activity, and with the underground DJ scene exploding in the mid 90's, it took on a deeper level. It wasn't just playing records with your amigos on your home system, it was playin' records for hundreds and thousands on a massive system. There was a push, not just to have supa fly beats, but one's that were new, cutting edge material that nobody had ever heard before.
Around this same time, books were devoured and questions were formulated. Answers to these questions were forthcoming in a variance of time durations. Some answers demanded a deeper investigation than others. As these answers became rediscovered and remembered. The desire for this information to be shared became apparent.
In the year 1997, a Drum Machine, Sequencer, Synthesizer, Effects Module, Sampler and 4-Track Analog Recorder became the new orchestra. This process of collecting musical interfaces has not ceased since and has grown to include a host of traditional indigenous instruments, midi controllers, digital recorders, mixers, specialized mics, computers and more.
This brings us to 2008. With the help of increasingly sophisticated computing devices, visual and audio art are continuing to be taken into unexplored areas of expression. Brilliant software programs and inventive plug-ins have enabled us to use computers in brand new ways. The interconnectedness of these systems is a driving force in current projects.
