I've been wrapping up two new tapes, which should land in autumn (or so). As I mentioned in my last post, I won't be self-releasing them - instead they'll be on Luke Moldof's Razors and Medicine and Brad Rose's Digitalis Limited. I'll refrain from writing much about them until I get tangible copies, but I will comment that the new material is catered fairly specifically to the labels, giving me a chance to explore ideas and reference points that were previously difficult to act on/react to on guitar.
Haven't updated the blog in a while ... been settling into a new apartment (moved across the river to Allston, no longer a Cantabrigian), and now, this heat ...
Anyways, here's a rough thing I recorded this last weekend using my MS-2000 and a new (to me, anyway) Nagra tape machine. New tapes are in the works, and hopefully I'll have more concrete news to report before too long.
Also, Keith and Geoff over at Mimaroglu Music Sales have at long last posted their Best of 2009 feature, and I'm pleased to say that PC01's made the list. Glowing Departure's been sold out here for a month or two now (but still available wherever Private Chronology titles are carried), but in all likeliness I'll re-press another edition of 100 to coincide with my next release(s), which won't be Private Chronology titles per se ...
Update: looks like Mimaroglu's sold out of the straggler copies of PC01, but there should be a few copies still sitting around at Benjamin Nelson's Soundpool, where seekers are encouraged to hunt down Private Chronology titles in addition to other next-level goodies.
Daniel Palacios' 'Waves' utilizes a basic construction of a long piece of elastic string and two motors to visualize the
presence of people close to the installation. The string between the two motorized chambers reacts to the people presence and movements, it twirls to produce a sine-wave simulation that eloquently resembles both the digitization of real-time sound waves and patterns of flow and connectivity found in natural systems.

Here's a recording of my first live performance, on April 14, 2010 at the Goethe Institut in Boston. Audio recorded, mixed, and edited by Ernst Karel (Non-Event).
Also, here's a video excerpt from this performance, recorded by Keith Fullerton Whitman, who's recently updated his Vimeo page with new documentation of his modular synth!
In other news, Brad Rose wrote a flattering blurb about my tapes in his Long Decline column on Foxy Digitalis; check it!
