NEWS: Thrilled to announce that 'In A Strange Land' has ben accepted for presentation at the 2023 New York City Electroacoustic Musical Festival taking place this June. Will post details when they become available. 

Offering both excitement and menace, an unfamiliar place. Makes extensive use of Synthesis Technology's E520, the Xaoc Kamieniec & Dr Sketchy's Freak Shift.

Much of my sonic idea of a "new soundscape" has been significantly influenced by our move to a more countrified location in Upstate New York, where we are constantly hearing birds, tree frogs, crickets and other insects, a sound environment made possible by our new closeness to nature.

In A Strange Land

Avatar Of Thorn

The Light Collapses Upon Her Shadow

On an all-star episode of 70 Movies We Saw in the 70s, Jim Healy and Scooter McCrae join Scott and Ben for an apocalyptic assault on John Boorman's one-of-a-kind dystopian sex/death romp, Zardoz! Listen along as the quartet analyzes everything from Sean Connery's speedo-loincloth to Sean Connery's bearded ponytail. Hold on to your headphones as we careen down memory lane with tales of close encounters with John Boorman, Jonathan Rosenbaum, and the Coen Brothers. Break out the green bread, this one's a doozy!

Ep. 50 - Zardoz (1974)

A tribute to Lucio Fulci's THE BEYOND (as well as the inspirations of Fabio Frizzi).  Horror is the formless void...BEYOND.

Minimal Sync Pulse - The Obscene Mirror Instrumental

A tribute to the atmospherics of ZOMBIE fro Lucio Fulci and Fabio Frizzi (and many more)

A Splinter Through The Minds Eye (Fulci Lives Mix)

The analog 01B VCO has both its sawtooth and pulse outputs going into a 09B 3x1 Mixer, and from there into the 36B 4075 Low-Pass Filter.  The 54B CV Sequencer is getting powered by the 53B Clock interacting with the 20B Pulse Divider -- three of the differently divided outputs of which are going into the 56B Switch and then sent to the clock input of the Sequencer.  There's some additional note activity provided by the 55B Dual Quantizer (which is getting tickled by one of the outputs from the 61B Quad LFO).  The output of all of this gets pumped into the 30B Super Delay (including some subtle 38B Flanger in the feedback) which is also getting some LFO tickling in some of its parameters.  In addition to all of that, I'm also twisting and turning knobs to open the filter, change the clock speed and otherwise mess things up a little bit as everything goes chugging along.  Might be more of an experiment than a composition, but figured it was worth listening to and posting.

Eccentrically Electronic Modular Madness filtered through 30 years of intense listening and 20 years of trying to figure out what plugs into what without blowing up or setting things on fire.
