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.

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.

The Windscale Blues Experiment + Black Market Brains = Labyrinth Of Deceit

Recorded LIVE in a single take, January 12th, 2020.

Every New Year's Eve, I take the time to wire-up an end-of-the-year ambient patch on the modular system that I have playing in the background to take me through the end of one year and through midnight into the next one.  Been doing so the last three years and counting.

This year I combined the Modcan system with a theremin so I could play along a little bit when I wasn't busy doing the usual knob twiddling and joystick moving on the modular.  My playing is thankfully minimal and buried in the live mix, thank goodness, but it's there to provide some tonal variety.

I'll update this with a photo and a better description of the patch at a later date.  For now, please enjoy and thanks for listening!

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.
