Thanks, Noise Park.

Songs About Leaving

I've put a couple old releases up on the Bandcamp site: Last of the American Sessions, the final recordings made in the US before leaving for Japan in 2005, and Shiso Epilogues, the final recordings made in Japan before returning to the US in 2007.

Stream them below and if you are so inclined follow the links to purchase/download.

Merciless Pitchfork Review

 

Someone at Pitchfork fucked up twice. First, he or she let Marc Masters review my latest Type LP. Second, they forgot to edit out all the nice things he said about it. Go read it for yourself.

Kidding aside, I am sincerely honored. I know how hard it is to get works like this onto the site and appreciate Marc's effort to do so in addition to his kind words.

Secret Thirteen Mix

I recently did a mix for the website Secret Thirteen entitled Thirteen Years. You can stream and read a bit about it here.

The mix highlights one track per year of each year I've been active in the noise/experimental music community (discounting a couple prior alone in hometown and our current spin around the sun), trying to keep the emphasis on tracks that were a.) influential to my work and b.) made an impact on me immediately upon release. (This was especially important  for the earlier years with numerous highly influential releases  discovered well after the fact.) I  am exceptionally proud of it.

Stream/download away.

Last Night on East Tulane

ExTx Finale

The last few minutes of my Ende Times set, utilizing bowed contact mic through four instances of a new feedback chain I'm toying with.

Ende Tymes 2012

I'm returning to NYC this weekend to play the Ende Tymes Festival for the second year in a row. I'll be performing Friday night at Secret Robot Project. Hope to see some of you there.
