03-26-12 – Seattle, WA>Portland, OR – We are looking for an auxiliary percussionist to play alongside a kit drummer, rounding out and augmenting the sound of the band.
We currently consist of a vocalist/guitarist, a drummer, a keyboardist/soundscape artist, a bassist and a second guitarist, and are seeking to round out our personnel.
You will be using congas, timbales, wrought-iron scrap metal and assorted items such as bottles, hooves, and knives. I’m looking to incorporate Haitian and Cuban polyrhythms into the music to emphasize and augment the beats with the drummer as needed for each song, helping to forge a unique, creative sound. I can teach you these rhythms. The percussive element of the band is a strong component, and we are looking for someone who will not just accompany the drummer, but build up a sense of dynamic and aggression.
It would help if you had an industrial/underground/avant-garde background, as well as an intimate understanding and strong awareness of bands such as Swans, Laibach, Throbbing Gristle, Prong, Killing Joke, Big Black, Savage Republic, Head of David, Godflesh, Arsenal, Unsane, Pigface, and Whitehouse.
Several compositions are completed, and I plan to teach those to newcomers, as well as other completed songs that I am working on now. I presently have the songs to present to interested parties. We are consistently writing, and I expect to build on a naturally evolving sound.
We have a practice space in a 24-hour facility, and it is required that you contribute monthly to the rent, as well as transport yourself and your equipment to and from practice.
If interested, please contact me.

02-13-12 – New York City, NY>Philadelphia, PA – for an experimental improvisatory dance music project with the aim of live performance.

I would like to start out very simply working with a percussionist of some sort, electronic or otherwise.

I would play the bass and we would focus on developing an improvisatory rapport.

If it seems necessary, we could also design a methodology for the generation of discrete musical events of variable repeatability, “songs”. But it should eventually sound like a slicker version of a drum circle.

Later, I would like to incorporate interactive computer elements to amplify and expound upon our spontaneously generated metrical ideas.

I have spent several years working with Pure Data in this regard. Imagine something like a very complex, dynamic delay pedal.
Toward that end, people specializing in synthy, Eno-esque treatments are most welcome, as will be video artists/animators working with interactive digital technologies.
I would like to emphasize that the DANCE element will be of utmost importance.

Ideally, we would create with our performances an atmosphere of possibility for the audience to explore movement or even vocalization. Sweat-inducing, altered-state stuff.
Here are some things I’m interested in off the top of my head:
* Polyrhythms and metrical modulations
* Minimalism / Maximalism
* Generative computer music
* Free/Spiritual Jazz
* John Cage
* Neue Sachlichkeit
* Non-idiomatic spontaneous improvisation
* James Brown
* Transcendental ideas about freedom
Okay! Let’s do it!

01-10-12 – Los Angeles, CA>San Diego, CA – We are a crazy experimental band with crazy chords and time structures that needs a bass player.
Our music is really aggressive and I need some one that can be as aggressive as everyone else in the band and really technical at the same time. We like polyrhythms and noise. And you must own your own gear. I’m pretty damn loud so if you got big gear that’s a plus.
