while living near a stop light on a busy street at the edge of Baltimore City, my windows are open and it's Summer time. the sounds from souped up systems bounce around the hot concrete and brick, landing in my red room. those sounds influenced this track.

Bliss Repeater

the name really does describe the song.  brian miller from Uakari donated his guitar work on this one.  lots of bass layers, effects and even a little drum machine.  can you hear the Joy Division influence?  play this one then play it again.  

dreamsequence for a chase scene

an uneventful ambient track, meant to be background or sleepytime music.  

empty glass

circa 2000. this is the last ussa pleasuredome ditty recorded on the old Tascam 4 track cassette machine.  i certainly don't miss the forced linear mixdown process but there is a quality of zen rawness to it all.  this track is a stream of consciousness consisting of many unrelated and disconnected genres.  a classic analog ussa pleasuredome chestnut.

supralearning

this somber dread march was composed a day before or after empty glass.same BPM, same borrowed keyboard and trusty drum machine.influenced by old Dead Can Dance records.the perfect soundtrack for a dreary cold wet winter morning.


march of the empty jar

it is not really a remix, it is more like recreating a song in my head after I have heard it.  not in a nihilistic way but more based on the sounds my brain connects with.  Check out Moss of Aura's vast library of great tunes.  Most of them are available on Friends Records.  The original track titled "Charter"  is on Moss of Aura's release Still Parade.  This USSA Pleasuredome creation was inspired by a live Moss of Aura performance.  I created the loops in cakewalk and recorded the vocal and extra bass tracks live.

Mission Dogma: The project currently practicing and known in full as the U.S.S.A. Pleasuredome can be measured by a few rules(that we constantly break). 
1) full use of surroundings as limited resources 
2) layering abstract sound with intuition and luck 
3) original one time performances 
4) lots of head nodding 
5) getting lost in the process 
6) unpracticed and defenseless revelation 
7) a meaningful mistake . 

established on a Tascam 4 track in 1999 and still rolling.
