A bad person with bad guitars playing really outside weird thirty years gone. Are we not men, or free jazz, or weird 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, plus various Roland keys and a Behringer DeepMind 12.
$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.

Note on available material and web links:
This is my current sketchpad for music as I release it. I've gotten lazy and generally only post stuff here these days.
Back catalog can be found at the links below. There are 25+ full length albums, live sets, etc. for free available. Additional songs available the Google music link (free) or Bandcamp link (also free, put zero in the price unless you're insane).

Dec 1500:05:40Tap to summarizeTwo of the same exact model guitar and their brother walk into a bar. Amplitude modulation crushing delay sweeps in and demands a dance. Such is the way of the fading cosmos.

Six score and three sixty five out of line
Jul 2500:07:43Tap to summarizeA return of the 'record in a day' birthday EP/album that I haven't done in a couple years. Marred by near catastrophe as the forward strap screw on the main guitar decided to remove itself from the guitar mid-take - I kept the song anyway.
