ERSATZTEILEMUSIK 1 (excerpt)

Hand-cut, artisanal tape loop. Live performance on TASCAM Portastudio 424mkII, with Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler.

Lounge Mix

Crate digging obscuro sound collage bangin' beats-for the simple head-nodding man, from the mind of Dan Letourneau.

Still Crazy After All These Years

A relaxing, transportive ambient music mix for everyone stuck in quarantine.

Quarantine = Quiet Time

Processed field recording of a mariachi band playing in Val Verde, CA.

Mariachi

Deep from the Sophisticated Pills archive, two tracks dating roughly back to 2006-07 explore lots of fun, messy, noisy  sounds. Never before released in any form. Includes original artwork.
