Finally added the grounding synth for MNDR song Jump In.  Peter and I ran the Yamaha CS 15 through the Dynachord PDD-14 and out of the Yamaha 4 x 12 (probably keyboard amp.  Sounds slightly out of tune in that great way.  Reminds me of my favorite early Electro Reggae off of Taxi Gang, Sly and Robbie’s label. Here are the real time photos in the studio!

Peter Wade and I have been using the McDSP Synthesizer 1 a lot for MNDR songs or other artist songs.  I can tell you I am way into this synth.  The interface is great for me because I like to dig deep and it allows me to do so along with allowing me to draw my own wave forms! Peter and I were asked by the designer to make some presets.  We designed one patch that we use on my new MNDR song Fade To Black (Swon Song) entitled The Egyptian.  The sound reminds of a modified Optigan.

Keep your eyes out for McDSP stuff if you are on Protools.  Only thing I gotta say is I hope he makes VST versions as well for us Logic/LIVE people.  Either way…awesome synth if you want to really get an original sound, but still make the synth pop.

Here is an Optigan in action.

I love SilkFlowers.  I saw them play in LA in March at Echo Curio (awesome art gallery).  Now I am playing a show with them and Let Er Est on June 2nd at Glasslands in Brooklyn.   I am so psyched!

Show June 2nd at Glasslands

These are live pics of the 0th show at 21 Grand on May 12th from Oakland. The show turned out next level. We will be doing a series of these. I will keep you updated via my mailing list (sign up) and on my website.

I was hanging with Dre Skull yesterday at his studio in Greenpoint.  Had an awesome time.  Watch for some collabs and MNDR 12 inch out on his label in the future.  Keep you posted.  He gave me his newest releases and they are sick as fuck.  Get them while you can.

Check out this Katey Red track with a mad Dre Skull shout out.  Masssive Respect

I made this digital score for this film back in 2000.  I used REAKTOR, Logic Platinum, and made it on one of those clam ibook’s, the tangerine one.

My band 0th is playing a show at 21 Grand tonight in Oakland, CA. I am in NYC and the rest of the band is in The Bay Area, but we are still playing with all of the visuals. I am so excited. Proves that you can keep playing with all of your friends no matter the geography!  We are hoping to stream the show on Youstream, but they might not have enough band width at the venue.  Either way we are taping it and I will post it as soon as it gets to me.  You can buy our first full length Tammy at Resipiscent.

I am doing research on MAX MSP light sequencing for the MNDR live show and also for the 0th residency at 21 Grand January 2010. My friend from my other band 0th sent this DIY lazer demo to me. I love it.
