Another series of test recordings made whilst testing Hideaway Studio's brand new prototype MIDI Front Panel Animator retrofit for the AKAI S612 finally giving David Cockerell's infamous 30 year old sampler full realtime control over the infamous 612's Sample Start & End Splice points, the Filter Cutoff and the Vibrato controls under 5 MIDI CC Controllers.

The FPA Modules are in production and have been proving very popular..

AKAI S612 MIDI Front Panel Animator (FPA) Test II

Once the odd-duck of LA's late 80's rock underground, Lyford has more recently been heard creating electronic environments, having finally overdosed on Eno’s full catalog. Currently on a personal quest to reconcile the trippy synthedelia of Jean-Jacques Perry with pre-techno Kraftwerk.

In an alternate reality, Lyford cycles between guitar, keyboard, and vox duties in Psyattica, a "post-punk prog-pop psychedelic power trio" dedicated to fusing punk sensibilities with progressive chaotic time signatures and jazzy chromatic harmonics. Or not.
