Appreciator and sometimes maker of music.

Rumoured to be “demented instrumental acid-rock with robotic melodies that sound like party music from an episode of Doctor Who" or "a three-way tug-of-war between frisky, soulful garage rock, frenetic funk, and swaggering 70s proto-metal" - Protovulcan is actually just Deric Criss (Aleks and the Drummer, Walking Bicycles) on drums and Will MacLean (formerly of Mercury Rev offshoot Variety Lights) on moog bass, wurlitzer, and vocoder.

Multi-instrumentalist, clarinetist, composer, and electronic musician

All analog, all organic 

Machine funk sprezzatura - soul in the game x intuition - sequencers, midi cables, mixing desks, synths, samplers, drum machines, FX, turntables, vinyl and DVS - going forward, never backwards, single take recordings, no automation, no computer, no sync button, no symptoms of digititis and no brick wall limitations

I release tracks infrequently, often towards the end of the year, and some tracks may disappear for a while to be re-worked or remixed. Feedback always welcome. Creative collaborations and live work considered.
