Self-construction

End Of It All

im scared for the future
i dont want to go
i dont know how i got here
or how ill leave
your kiss 
still burns 
the scars
under my sleeve
i dont know where ill be
i dont know where ill go
as long as your beside me
ill have someone who’d know
how much i cared
how much i earned
how much i loved
and how much i stole

Implicit Differentiation

Legend has it that on one early June evening in 2010, a FFS II Synth Jam was held. The ensemble gathered included Dave Chandler (aka Thee Sub One Genius), M Scott McConnell (aka MC2P4), and Matt Norcross (aka Ttam Troll).

During the improvised recordings, which were dubbed the Punish Your Machine sessions, the trio of synthesists became hungry and ventured forth from the studio in search of nourishment. Their search ended in the land of Fujiyama. It was there, at the hibachi table, where Chocolate Japanese Noodle Baby (CJNB) was born.

This 11+ minute audio sculpture is our sonic representation of the experience. It was recorded on 06/05/10.

This opening drone from FFS II Synth Jam 2010 - Drones on 07/24/10 captures a performance by Dave Chandler (aka Thee Sub One Genius - pictured above) and M Scott McConnell (aka MC2P4). It set a perfect tone for the sessions and, upon my arrival and a trip to Fujiyama, we delved further into atonal soundscapes.

This improv was titled TR-1.

Ice Rift is an audio sculpture culled from Any Questions? - Darkness. This rare 1992 release offered an early glimpse into our Imbued Vagary project and an example of the synthetic tapestries that we would weave into our future film work.

The longest of all of the songs from Darkness. Ice Rift is probably the bleakest. It's another song which I composed well past midnight and before the first rays of dawn. These hours proved to be quite fertile creatively for me while I explored some very dark corners.

Today marks the 5 year anniversary of the original new era FFS Synth Jam.  The fruits of which are still being enjoyed today.  From these sessions, the latest incarnation of Imbued Vagary was born.  To celebrate this, we have a series of CD releases coming out this year.  The first, titled Captured Moments, is being mastered now and will be available soon.

Here's a track from our inaugural Synth Jam.  Enjoy!
