This was my contribution for the Disquiet Junto Project 0586: Chance the Eraser
Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0586 discussion thread:
I recycled a four track sketch that was created in Ableton Live a few months ago for this assignment.
Using Audiomodern's free gate sequencer plugin, Gatelab, I was able to randomly turn on/off, chop up and modulate notes in three of the tracks. I also used their motion filter plugin, Filterstep, on the fourth track for additional effects. This setup worked great until it came time to render the final mix. Ableton froze and crashed multiple times no matter what I tried. Not sure, but could be these plugins weren't happy with the recently installed OS Ventura on my M1 MacBook Pro, or some other strange voodoo. Finally ended up recording the completed audio on a Tascam digital recorder. Despite the technical headaches, I had a lot of fun with this project.

Welcome tσ th!s εvσlving space … inspired by thε playful sp!rit of hai (meaning “fun” or unμsuΔl, like in haiku) …

I dig around thε edges t0 uneΔrth non-mμ§ic musics — sliding into nσ!§ε, glitch, chΔnce, Δ$MR, and σther soundwσrlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity …

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.

During the early 1990s I studied Mathematics and Computer Science. The world wide web was still largely text-based and mostly empty. Today things are obviously different, though I still thoroughly enjoy art, design, cinema and music in all its forms. I have traveled all over the world for nearly two decades, visiting just over 140 countries. Japan is my favorite. All of this I attempt to incorporate into my music and art.
