Picture for song 'BFF_pound' by artist 'DHL'

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

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

Band/artist history
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.
Your musical influences
active listening, the little clicks and whizzes that pass by us all the time, the primal instinct to create art.
