As you know, to celebrate my birthday every year, I always try to do my best to make some music & share it as a way to say thank you, but this particular project was a bit of a struggle. Originally I was going to make a sequel to "Excerpts From The SP1200" but unfortunately my SP1200 took a dump when I turned it on. My next resort was to plug up my MPC2000 & unfortunately as well, it's also buggin out; which means I have to get both of my drum machine samplers to get repaired (Forat, here I come). Plus I only started 2 weeks ago, which really didn't give me any time to really marinate because I had such a busy schedule. On top of that, just a few days before my birthday, I get sick & get some crazy rash on my hands. Yet, I wasn't going to let anything stop me for trying to get this done.


Of course I can always rely on my current way of doing production & use the Propellerhead Reason software but I wanted to really challenge myself. So what I did instead is was use Pro Tools as my way of making beats this time. No drum programming, playing keys & basslines; just straight chopping up, looping, layering samples from records, cut & paste style....basically, on some Raw Sh*t!! It was more tedious & time consuming than my other methods of doing beats, but I have to tell you, it was hella fun. I just listened to bunch a records, recorded it, sample, chop, & however the final product came out, mistakes & all, this is what you're listening to right now. No overthinking, just went with the flow. It was pretty liberating.


Anyways, as always, this is my way to celebrate another year on this planet & my humble way to say thank you to everyone that has directly or indirectly, supported, inspired, motivated me in one capacity or another. I am very thankful.

Loops, Chops, Beats, & Vibes

Borne from a college DJ radio stint in the early '00s -- still mixing, scratching, digging, chopping, and sampling hip hop mixes and tracks from old soul & rock, golden age and underground hip hop.  Influenced by artists like MF DOOM, EL-P, Juggaknots, Non Phixion, DJ Shadow, Diamond D, Nas, Tribe, X-Ecutioners.

.accelerates and tries to catch up with the person, but, though it gets faster, they somehow never meet. This is interesting because it sheds new light on the old paradox of Achilles and the tortoise, whereby Achilles cannot catch up with the tortoise. This is the elementary machinery of dream logic. So why do I mention this? Isn't this mixture of extreme mobility and immobility also our situation as cinema or video spectators? We are, as spectators, having our own mobility reduced, while...this incisive reminder still evokes a cutting operation, if not a butchery: a kind of violence — the word flesh if found in the family, just as graphy is a scratch. Higher and further back, to write is to curve meet. Writing is the curve that the turn of seeking has already evoked for us and that we find in the bending of reflection.
