BuffFluxus is a Buffalo based ensemble performing in the Fluxus tradition of the 1960s and '70s. BuffFluxus performs the work of artists such as Jackson Mac Low, Yoko Ono, Dick Higgens, and Alison Knowles, as well as contemporary works written in the Fluxus style. The goal of the Fluxus movement was an anarchist "anti-art" philosophy, which put the value and creation of art back in the hands of the people. The goal of BuffFluxus is to make these radical artistic principles relevant for the 21st Century listener.

This started as a good home for some potboilers from my early electronic studio but now has grown into a holding area for live recordings of my contemporary classical works. Recent uploads are from the new rooms at EvenFall Studio.

Some of these electronic "candies" were used in dance, short film, and commercial/advertising forms. Now they are just sitting around, so if you dig anything here let me know. This was all outboard gear including: Moog Micromoog, Korg 05R/W, Kurzweil PC2R, Korg Electribe EA-1 & ER-1, HHB Radius 3 Tube Compressor, MOTU 896, various TC Electronic and Digitech effects. If you're interested in my "Western" symphonic, electronic, and percussion compositions they are available to listen on the music page of my website. Thanks for listening! Enjoy!

Louis Goldford is a composer of instrumental and mixed music based in New York City. His works are characterized by processes of emergence and approximation, interwoven psychoanalytic and existential formal models, and traversals of abstract resonances and virtual spaces.

I write in the tradition of Western European classical music and most often for acoustic ensembles. However, I try to have big ears and find something to like and to learn from in anything I hear.
