About Me


My name is Gustave, everyone calls me Gus. I live in North Devon, and I make music with my computer. Recently I have got right into doing live video projection stuff at gigs, I supose this is called VJ ing?? I am into creating sound/visual installations using the software MAX/MSP, if you know what that is, then you know what I mean. I also do live laptop stuff using the same software (and other), sometimes with sax, sometimes not. I also play the sax for anyone who asks me to (well, almost), including Citizen Fish, who are one of the best bands in the world.

I am trying to establish some kind of experimental music and art scene around here, so if you are into making music or visual art, maybe in your bedroom (that's a metaphore by the way), maybe using computers, or if you have any ideas of some kind of performance (as whacky as you like), let me know about it. I aim to put on a night of wierdness as soon as I can confirm a venue, so come on all you freaks, make yourselves known.....

Electronic/experimental artist call up
if you make music that might fit into this catagory, I'm going to make a small compilation for small scale release. If you have material, let me know, if not get working on it...

I also play Sax in The Breaks, and we play gigs fairly often. For breaks gigs check out www.myspace.com/breaksunknown.
