About me

Location Potato, Idaho, United States
Introduction A bad person with bad guitars playing really outside wierd twenty years gone. Are we not men, or free jazz, or wierd noise, or just clueless? Your call. Recorded improv-style, pseudo-live (no edits to tracks, either it's good or the whole session is pitched), one pass at a time with old, forgotten gear. Synths courtesy mistracked guitars via 90s Boss snyth bass units (ME-6B etc), stacked glitchy fuzz pedals, and pitch-shifted harmonizing delay. Newer synthy stuff courtesy Roland GR-55 and all the old toys. $29 LFO-enabled rack delays and ART gear from 1991, I love you. And yes, I spend a lot of time with the red light on.
