Chains Change is my new record that is going to be more of an intimate in your skull sort or headphone record. A song to listen to after a heavy party or maybe just one extremely heavy experience. A song that makes you want to just listen to it by yourself until you have zero tears left.
The synth work is mainly the OB8. Literally Peter Wade and I worked the fine tune of this synth sound for at least 3 hours. The OB8 allows you to pan all 8 of the voices in order to give it that spread out huge sound. I do not expect to write any lead parts over this record. Peter Wade absolutely killed the beat. This is one of my most proud beats to be highlighted on this record. Very remnant of early IDM and all Peter. His feel is truly unreal.
We are layering my Nord G2 and debuting my Suzuki Omnichord which I used to preform with in early MNDR. This omni chord can be run as a midi controller and generally sends out absolute cuckoo midi information. I can not lie. So it really can make some unreal sounds when using a sound module (which in this case is my Nord G2). Your eyes will cry blood when you hear what this duo can do together.
Here’s a live pic of Wade on the OmniChord!

Thanks to Sheena Beaston for looking out on the IDM ladies.
solidly ultra
RETWEET THIS SHIT!
I had the most fun ever at CMJ this year. I played two shows Fader Fort at the Ace Hotel and DFA/BlackBook at Norwood. It was humid and I felt like I was at SXSW instead of CMJ with all of the sweating and dancing. You could smell the fun. I played all of my new records and even made it on the keyboard along with some brain splitting tekknow. Both parties were ready to party and even had some real life Oakland up in the mix. I have some live footage and some stills and some essence.

Also Sheena Beaston let’s paint something chrome together. Because that is how hard we gotta go.
Here are some pics from final touches on Send My Greetings. Little Yamaha CS15 came in and stole the show as the lead synth. We added a lot of chaos into this record which means pedals that are laying around and running stuff through everything and twiddling knobs.
Send My Greetings is for everyone that just says fuck it and fuck you inspired by the life and times of Patty Hearst and her involvement in Guerrilla Urban Warfare in the SLA.
