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.

Thanks for checking this out. Leave me honest opinions. Drop me a line if you're interested in collaboration!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!!!All comments (4)
