This experiment is called Magnet Head and features a filtered drone combined with percussive, analog spatterings all generated by the Roland MKS-80.

Salutation
Here’s another microtrack for the dance project I’m working on in collaboration with Annichia Arts. This is a glitchy experiment I produced with the Roland MKS-80 while holding down a dark, dense, jazz chord.

Culled and Shifted
This is a rough rendering of a short piece of sound that is part of a larger dance piece that is being produced by Annichia Arts. I’ll explain more about the piece at a later date. A shorter, less processed version of the piece was posted here.

Forgotten Channels
Forgotten Channels is a generative music and projected video performance piece that aims to discover connections between our visual memory and our response to peculiar soundscapes.
The visuals for the piece are made up of fifteen shots selected from hundreds of mobile phone videos. The videos make up a score that was prepared by playing them on a large LCD display then re-shooting them with another mobile device to frame mysterious elements and expose the imperfections within the digital media.
To perform the piece the visual score is abstracted again by playing it on yet another mobile device positioned below a camera plugged into a computer. Custom software analyses the input to produce a real-time stream of algorithmic music. The musical information is captured and manipulated by the performer in response to the imagery.
Casino Royale Instrumental Circa 1995
Former A&R rep and all-around minneapolis music nut, John Kass recently posted eight tracks ripped from a couple of demo tapes that we submitted to his record label back in the mid-90s. You can check out all of the tracks on his blog gojohnnygo.com. I’m including an instrumental track below that’s loaded with some note-y Pro-One lines revealing that I have been using that synth for at least sixteen years. Crazy!
