"The opening piece White Screen is performed by Sakamoto and Waewdao Sirisook, a Thai dancer trained in both traditional Lanna arts and contemporary dance, in concert with live electronic music performed and composed by Amy Knoles whose rhythms, beats, and punctuations are the muscle and the breath of the movement."

9:8:7:5:4:3:1
Here is a fairly fleshed out version (unfortunately before I added the harmonic series electric guitar section) of "9:8:7:5:4:3:1" that I created for one of my favorite Audio Art Presenters: Bludñy Kåmen (celebrating 20 years of presenting art that you would NEVER see on network tv!!). It's an experiment in live looping of the ratios of 9:8:7, etc. in a Totalist fashion, but breaking the rules severely as the "real" version of the piece would take 1075 hours!
Okay so, here is my piece for Rachel's memorial. I still can't believe that she is gone, guess I will never believe that, she's always been a person that I could come back to after years, and be welcomed to play...no questions...it always felt like coming home. Many times I was very lost and found my way back to just "blow it out my ass" in R2Co style. Only honesty was welcome in her E'space DBD, well, and animals. ;) I miss you Rachel, but know your fine company and past company members will carry your dreams. See you in the stars one day.
My most recent work, based on the music of the legendary genius, Julius Eastman. I created this in 4.1 surround with the MalletKat, a elaborate series of loopers in Ableton LIVE and a Keith McMillen 12 Step.
