Knock Em Dead - Part II

Knock Em Dead - Part I

A structured longform improvisation with tape, processed sound, and analog synth, performed for Vespers, an intentional listening series in Seattle.

I sampled ambient sound from the venue LoveCityLove and assigned the noise to notes on my keyboard, allowing me to "play" the ambient sound harmonically.

Performed and recorded live at LoveCityLove on August 31st, 2016.
