I'm a streaming live avant-garde performance artist with too many beats. Or a painter who works in sound, with electronic instruments. Or a finger drummer and freestyle synthesist with too much Art.
Oh also, I am the fastest finger drummer in the world.
Note that I am *not* a DJ or producer. I'm a performer first and foremost. I don't use sequencers or computers, but instead operate hardware synths, samplers and other noise makers manually, like instruments. I do this live, without planning - that's my performance.
I'm interested in collaborating with other musicians either locally or remotely. The "seeking" boxes I've checked represent instruments I would be interested in working with, but I'm open to all kinds of ideas.
Note that "DJ" and "electronic" are not selected, as I generate sufficient sound in those areas. I'm interested in working with non-electronic musicians and a vocalist (or MC) in particular.
I think the combination of my electronic improvisation and an experimental musician working with a traditional instrument would be fresh and compelling. If you're intrigued by the idea, drop me a line and let's try it out!
Note: "Gigs played" below indicates LIVE STREAMS. I've yet to play in person and am dying to asap so let's go!
