Synth Band Dot Com (synthband.com) is an improvisational multi-instrumentalist sound collective. We either meet in-person and hastily record direct to stereo on a JamHub or sometimes go remote virtualtime using Jamtaba and NINJAM.  Fun stuff. 

Synth Band Dot Com’s improvisational sounds are predicated upon these premises: We don’t discuss sounds we’re about to make. Performers switch instruments between most tracks/sessions. Sometimes even in the middle of the session. (More recent uploads combine all sessions from an evening, omitting interstitial silence.)

A Synth Band Dot Com track from the 20180816 sessions was featured in SOV anthology film: Zombarella's House of Whorrors.


Enjoy.

The last excerpt’s name was unexpectedly foreshadowing. Zachary passed away in 2024. RIP buddy.

20230929 - Zachary - Dan - Nine Excerpts

Aaron, Paul, Tony, and Dan each took turns on four stations:
1. drums + various noise toys into a Polymoon
2. Hydrasynth + bass into pedals
3. various noise toys into pedals
4. guitar into pedals

Didn't start trying to live-mix the recording a bit until a way's in, but It still sounds fun at the beginning when you can't hear any drums/bass. ;)

Dan Dreifort's current bands: Synth Band Dot Com and Indelible Beancurd run the gamut from golden crap to things slightly crappier than crap. He uploads noises here for his bandmates to hear. Or not. You? You can hear too. Thanks for listening. Check the links for older, even crappier music from Dan.
