The sublime high when tranced minimalist electronics meet interfering voices enveloped in jagged saw blades on a rainy road in the dark and pop music tears through in rhythmic flickers. 

Tiago Sousa - Sunflowers (Bodah Haitian Pirate Rain Road Remix) 2022-10-31.wav

One a series of sound constructions made from tape loops that came out of my radio show "Aware As Our Flesh Eyes Opened" on Oberlin radio WOBC and a ferment happening in the Ministry of Truth in 1995-1996. Partners in crime included Chris Anderson (R.I.P.), Jeff Bauer, and Daniel Yuhas.

Dan Bodah - Kneeslapper (1996)

The Sourasses existed from 1987 to 1988 in the boring hours between the end of school and dinner. The members were Chris Lampart (RIP) and Dan Bodah. A Roland Space Echo box was involved. Recording equipment was an excellent Technics boombox with really nice stereo mics. May Chris be bumming cigarettes off Manuel Noriega in the afterlife forevermore.

Dan Bodah - Carve Away (1992)

Beyonce - Haunted (Airborne Event Gasping Spiderweb Remix)

A Dreamer sings during one of those really dreary dreams set in a beige office. Meanwhile, the Angel of His Better Nature whispers quickly to get a word in edgewise. With boring acoustic guitar and anxious scrap metal percussion accompaniment. 

It's Not Half Bad - by B&B

A figure moves painfully slow, barely visible behind a mylar sheet. Big rigs send soundwaves from their 18 wheels to bend through the space between the hills surrounding the river valley. Magnetic fields quaver and buzz like bees flickering at the opening of a hive.
