LONG MASH OF EVERYTHING

occasionally I dump all the low-fi voice memos from my recorder and export one long assed clip of it all. Here's the most recent stuff. Live taping of within-many-realms show coming SOON! 


RECENT ROTTAR IMPROV CLIPS UPTO –> FEBRUARY 11 2015

Live during the group show:
WITHIN MANY REALMS

this performance includes the writer's guild– VNDERWORD

Brain Rottar Live As Nonviolent Scenarios

this beat worked out after I started experimenting with longer pauses after 2-3 bars of a ska-tempo sequence

korg delta layers, 3 delay pedals, and then vocals.
i think this is photobooth video/audio LoL

Avery house Detroit 2010
Brian Larson liked it

Pose pose pose

recorded in a dark attic
this beat materialized after a point where I had exhausted my experiments in the downstairs rooms of Avery house Detroit 2010

at that point I was so grayed-out,mid day, tired from work, everything I was playing seemed so chafing and obnoxious/lame at me, but the desire to find an interesting beat drove me onward through the banality and so I tweaked myself out as best as I could and dragged all my equipment upstairs to the attic.

totally worth it, cause after a brief stint in satanic noise I slowly uncovered certain sound layers I was down with, and then... as if to still pace myself, I made sure the beat was really long and only started to roll at meager amounts of time. Still just enough to be sure it was a beat at all and not me just jizzing on my shoes in the dark like some creep recluse.

once the beat was established it worked like a game, I had to wait out the non-beat areas but throw down once I knew the bass was kicking and their was a hint of rhythm

Make sure there is a build up near end so you know when the 1-count is.

if anyone fucking cares about this shit i'd be surprised

Fieldhockey stick story (some girls need you to break stuff before they, ya know...)

Kate and D'Angelo had just had a baby
Me and Angela Duncan were recording in the basement room of Ferndale Allen rd/fielding house 2009 I think?

she was playing clarinet with a single delay
I was using korg delta with two delays and phase-shifter

we had a tough time negotiating LoL but we still jam well together

Newest mothers

the words to 8 mile shuffle happened spontaneously
view it actually happening for the first time ever here:

the music I had been crafting in a variety of formats/ piano /keyboarddelay
nothing worked, everybuddy ignored it (handed to them in cdr form)

the new version lacks the killer harmony i bust like ray-conniff singers or something
another cool recording on a shitty fucking day

VIMEO VERSION:
one delay/one mic/ me /etc

THE NEW VERSION IS WHAT YOU HEAR on soundcloud™ and it is made of korg delta, one mic, 3 delay pedals and blah blah blah

8 mile shuffle (raw track) (watch the vimeo version in my description)

In the spring of 2012,
I was in a band with Rachel Kayuk and Adam Michael Perzanowski called 'Counseling'
here's one of our lost jams
