About Me

Vancouver, BC-based artist using mostly found sounds and homemade software. Live set is 100% improvised bare-bones setup - iBook & microphone" and a home-made software program I call "PLAB". This produces a live set that ranges from amazing... to embarassing. Worth checking out, either way. I've recorded for Endzeit Records, Bug Girl Sound, Lowdown Recordings, .NET, Zero1Media, Mutek Rec and for the past few years, Copperspine Records.

My Blog

reissue, repackage repackage, re-evaluate the songs...

No one asked for it, and I'm not even sure I want it, but I decided to create a "virtual box set" - ie; the last 39 weeks worth of songs in to a surprisingly not-that-large 111 MB zip file as a free d...

Done like dinner!

This week's song, "My Amusia " is the last in a 39-week run (of posting a new song to myspace every week.)There will be new tracks - just not every freaking week! I'm moving from Seoul in just und...

39 is fine

I've been wondering how long to keep this "new song every week" thing going... so I've decided that it'll wrap up after week 39. I leave my life of not-actually-working-at-all-in-Seoul to return bac...

Iris Thumb (feat. Kori Miyanishi) - week 36

This week's tune is another collaboration, this time a duet between static-possesed noise (me) and very loosely plucked banjo, courtesy of Dyad's very own Kori Miyanishi (click on the pic below to lea...

Hold On (week 35)

Another collaboration, this one between myself and the over-talented Lucien Durey. He wrote and sang "Hold On" - sent me his vocals, and I did the rest (mostly window dressing, as his song and voice ...

Week 34 - Top Ten

Well, this week's track (Top Ten) was supposed to be a song with Lucien Durey - I fell behind on it, so look for that next week. I quickly threw this one together - I found a Korean pop CD outside my...

Archive update

Waiting (featuring Sister) - week 33

"Waiting" is a song originally written by the over-talented Sister . She wanted me to contribute beats on it... things changed a bit... the cicadas in Seoul grew too loud to ignore... and, thus was b...

Rita Lee

this week's song - "Rita Lee" is not a cover of the Os Mutantes tune, but is, uh, "inspired" by the Caetano Veloso/Os Mutantes song "Baby " (iTunes link.) The vocal melody and (some of the words) are...
