art damage is brought to you by the expensive association

Wow, my new tactic is to write this post in Microsoft Word thus the capitalization will be automatic and easier to read.

Magic is happening in the studio. I’m finding my Korg OASYS PCI is one of the best sounding synths I’ve ever heard! This is mainly because the PC is in the shoppe being fixed…

http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/oasys-pci/files/

is a page where you can find the art damage bundle, a collection of patches for the OASYS PCI freely available for download.

Of course you have to have the hardware to use any of it…


• My buddy from ??? just put up his first myspace site,
I would love it if you checked it out IF you happen to like interesting noise ambient sounds. This guy knows his stuff and just one listening is not enough for his stuff. I have stuff he hasn’t released and I’ll tell you it’s good! He may send some stuff for me to “master” which I would love, but in the meantime definitely go to:

Well, I hope that you enjoy that!

It has lots of good advice.

Listening: Stereolab, Autechre, We love you

And more!

Gonna go for now, stay cool: it’s winter.

Pleased,

a test!

art damage is brought to you by the expensive association


well the dust has settled from my last perfomance, not great but i am appreciative that a guy came up to me after the show and told me he really liked my stuff. that counts for a lot!

i guess every small victory like that is what keeps me going


talked to one of my recording buddies last night (new year's eve) and i think a joint musical attempt is in order...

also an old release of mine (from the 80's) is getting a new life... as a split-side cassette release along with "the abusive step-dads" it's pretty heavy/silly/noisey/sampled stuff but the guy who's putting it out feels that it's some of his favorite art damage recordings! so thanks guys... i have more... i will try to post a link if that sort of thing will become available.


listening to - meat beat manifesto, skylab, drome, severed heads, venetian snares, squarepusher, amon tobin and others.

also i've joined some new sites,
as always they will be listed at the art damage clearinghouse ASAP.


take care until next time,
