BFF_pound BFF_pound
demo of a new Audio Units plugin, 'BFF'. First few measures are a dry, pounding, glitch-type beat. Then it's run through the BFF buffers & filters. Obviously not perfect yet, but give it time.
BFF_amen BFF_amen
demo of a new Audio Units plugin, 'BFF'. Short rinse of the amen break - first few measures are dry, the rest is wet. Obviously not a perfect match yet, but something interesting nonetheless
Se Despachaba Macario Se Despachaba Macario
Composed while looking at a candle and thinking of Macario, a Mexican movie about a man who makes a pact with the devil for healing powers. Title translates to 'Macario used to work here'.

took piano lessons as a young child, played trumpet and guitar later on, and have been working with electronics since 2001.Have you performed in front of an audience?I do both original and live DJ sets. The goals for each are different, so I'll focus here on original live sets. I generally perform live in SuperCollider, which input from hardware / acoustic instruments. My SuperCollider patches for live performance aim to be conducive to improvisation - I'd never like to play the same set twice.
I've confronted all range of crowds - sometimes what I'm doing resonates, sometimes people are just turned off in general by the concept of a laptop as an instrument. I've particularly enjoyed performing in the thriving DIY show scene in Portland when I'm there.

Dude!
just found your stuff!
I really dig the glitch machine.
dave, i have decided that you drop beats like a guy who juggles produce.
Indeed
dood the glitch machine just got hacked! check out the rubble on my page.
enter the glitch machine is a pretty cool track. All the glitch stuff sounds great and its got a nice soft kit to bump and hiss out the beat. Synths sound pretty cool too man, nice panning. Great track, keep it up!
dude that track is pretty ill. i especially like the synth lines. the sequencer seems to be pretty complex; does it trigger samples or synths? i love the sound of dust -triggered whitenoise, but the strongest part is that creepy-wonderful synth tone. make more!!!
