1. Circuit-bent-furby sequencer
i just found this in Make magazines' Music category in their archives and needed to re-post it so you guys could see it for yourselves. Coolest thing i've seen in awhile and this is proof that we need to learn how to bend circuits...




2. Zbigniew Rybczynski's Tango (1981)
this video was an early influence of how I see sampling and looping, and I saw this at school around the same time that I first learned how to use the EPS Ensoniq looping keyboard (see previous post Eagle-Sweatpants Monster). I could never remember who the artist was or what this piece was called, but I found it last night.

and just for symmetry-sake I found another cool video on the Make magazine's blog...

Eagle-Sweatpants Monster

This album was created in 2005 as a musical accompaniment to a large sculpture I created at the Atlanta College of Art. The two tracks played simultaneously coming out of the Eagle-Sweatpants Monster's arms. They never had to sync-up at the same place, and because the two tracks are varying lengths they would shift a little at a time each day. The music was made using a Doepher synth-box and an Ensoniq EPS looping keyboard. I've posted the pieces separately here, and I think they work on their own and maintain the feel that they had together. Enjoy.

This album was really the first thing I ever recorded by myself, so I thought it would be a fitting (re)beginning to all this. It was recorded in 2003 at some point, though I don't remember the date. Actually its possible that it was in 2004. Anyway, it was recorded at Ben's house while I was house-sitting, I believe, and I used all of the equipment available there: Mike Fleming's digital 8-track, Ben's drums, Josh's synths, my bass, my 3-string acoustic guitar and even an old cell phone with ringtones that I made. I played, recorded and produced everything on the album. All of these are experiments that seemed to come out vastly different, but I think it works as a cohesive piece. Looking back on it there are obvious musical themes that were just beginning to be worked out back then; though this album is more obviously "musical" than the pieces I work on now there are still subtle hints in this of noise and drone that I was completely unaware of at the time. Hope you enjoy.
