description
Pilesar (pronounced Pie LEE zur) specializes in lo-fi 4-track molestation but has recently begun dabbling in the digital realm. Instrumentation may include microphone, voice, percussion, toys, broken effects pedals, borrowed instruments, thrift store finds, tapes, random computer programs and various environmental factors.

Come to my official Chameleon Dish Archives site for even more MP3's and information.

Why this name?
It was given to my by an elf.
Do you play live?
Yes! I just started playing out live as a soloist and have been having a wonderful time!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows people like me to get music to people like you. Thanks Al Gore!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I'd prefer a smaller one if one at all.
Band History:
In 1998, I saw Ellery Eskelin's trio perform at Gambrell Hall on the USC campus. Later that year, I took what little money I had and bought myself a 4-track recorder and a few microphones. I became obsessed and eventually dropped out of college because I found myself writing love letters to my Tascam 414 instead of studying to be a...... whatever I was going to be. Essentially, those two events changed my life and I decided to never turn back.

I've played with many bands over the years but just started performing solo in 2009. Currently having a blast!
Your influences?
boredoms, ween, renaldo and the loaf, residents, zappa, etc.
Favorite spot?
my wife:)
Equipment used:
I use a crappy 4-track, my computer and whatever instruments I can find at thrift shops or borrow from my friends/enemies. Basically, I just make music with whatever I have access to at the time (e.g., sandpaper, handheld tape recorder, my dog, pots and pans, etc.). I have a vast array of drum machines, effects pedals, ethnic percussion instruments and homemade doohickeys. I love delay and phase shifters!

A fun, creative, and fresh track for sure.The vocals are pure a Capella ingenuity. The keys (piano rolls) are great too, a bit funky. Somewhat classic rock. I'm still tryin' to figure out what you used for the spider "twang" sounds. My personal favorite is when the beats break down and change tempo. Please add me. :-)

sweet. you should know that i'm releasing a physical album soon with this tiny label and that a couple of the tracks on it are from the ep on your site, but i don't think the label will mind that you're hosting them but just a head's up. look forward to hearing the live show if it's upload worthy, i'm playing my first ever solo show soon too so wish me luck!
sh** man. i'm listening to the other two live tracks. i don't know how you do it. fanf*** intastic! can't wait to hear the whole thing.
hey man! i love that slipping on eggs on the floor song. haven't been here in a while. i'm gonna have to go through all your 6.000.000 new songs and add to my collection.
i have recently uploaded some new tunes, you did say you enjoyed my last. i'm gonna be number one!
hey these new ones - ambient world percussion - are GREAT! mellow, but somehow there's a tricky twist lurking around the edges. very cool.
hey man would you like to collab on some experimental tunes? i dig your stuff
hey you have weird stuff smile :) some of your stuff would be very cool soundtracks for psycho-films smile :) i especially liked The spirit kind.
You have an nice experimental radio station!
is yeti a lama is an incredible accomplishment. blew my stack. incredible stuff man.
man, so cool! my heads are almost melting, but in the pleasent way like a baby on crack.

Pilesar:

The "Unusable Signal"/"Patterns of Life..." reconstruction is complete! Check it out on my page...it is called "Signal Pattern" for obvious reasons. Let me know what you think.
Hey Pilesar,

Listening to "It feels fine",and let me tell you it does!

Cheers,

John
Hi Pilesar,

Thanks for the post on my page and the station add! I added your track 'Cage' to my station, and I am currently working on a mix using material from 'Unusable Signal' and 'Patterns of Life'. I'll let you know when the mix is done...
