And there comes the unmistakeable Burroughs-voice. All praise to Ubuweb for posting it.

First completed project as Altitude Sickness.  Recorded using the built-in audio recorder in mlr 2.27 (for the Monome).  A few tracks (1, 3, 8) were arranged in Live 6, the rest are raw.  Mastered poorly using Audacity.  Artwork by Nate Ulsh.

Mashinery

written for an evening of various wonder, with words of poets in mind. and ears. musically attempting a different approach, tripping all over a ukelele, and so lucky to have the opportunity to record this with ezra buchla playing viola and brian crabtree singing falsetto.

"People who know you from an impossible situation don’t know how to behave when the situation no longer obtains.
“Are you also?” "And now?”
Like being crushed by God."    -anna moschcovakis

"The world. I don't know. We sink. We are awkward. We lean. We fall into doors. We sink into doors."   -joshua beckman

"You always have to guess.
And you always guess wrong. And
when you say your guess. I change. 
I guess I'm with you. 
But I don't know
where I am."      -aaron kunin

Shlohmo - Out Of Hand (NO SIR E Footleg)

Altitude Sickness performs multi-dimensional mash-ups using self-assembled Monome tupperware. He samples across an eclectic vibrational spectrum - both rooted in western water music and driven by eastern exploration. Obsessed with developing new tools for interfacing with digital music, Altitude Sickness often finds himself juggling both beats and hardware on stage.
