--> finally i am involved again with a project that won't involve computers. this is a relief as i have spent the last years of my life staring deeply into the glow. a breath of fresh air. it is a simple project. i believe it will be called 'tatse' in honor of the frequently mispelled taste. i thought about 'teh tatse god' but that seems a bit too long and god is a quenstioable word to involve in a band name, even if it is purposely misspelled. anyway the music is about as far from my current project: link
as i can get structurally. of late, i have been struggling with learning how to perfrom my solo work and in the process have realized that i need to break the boundaries i have laid out. the new project is just me and my lady friend playing an ARP Axxe/Little Brother, Roland HS-60 and a Moog Minimoog model D. maybe some stomp boxes if we feel like it. just improv. appreciating the amazing (sometimes forgotten by me)world of sound-design that is possible. Warmth is the word that comes to mind. i have gotten so stuck in using my computer to write these highly structured songs and writing lyrics and attempting to produce them properly and polish them. now i need to let go and remember how i got interested in elecronic music in the first place...real live analog synths. don't get me wrong. i love my computer, but there is something missing in it's numbers sometimes, or rather there is some need i have in my musical upbringing to have the tactile human sensations invloved with playing real instruments and touching real knobs and sliders.

Sounds like a great project.
A bit similar to us as Blood Moon (two people, improvised) but we use guitars, drums, sax and synth.
I'll look you up on myspaz soon.
(or if you want to add us we're at link )
nice!

i just figured out how to post 'releases' to this site so some other solo work is up on my player as well.
