WOLFCENTRIC

The documentary I have forever been working on with hours of footages from 2001 to 2006 that I somehow have to compress into an 26 minute documentary. No reason why its 26 minutes, I just find that length appropriate.





The documentary was supposed to be the 2nd phase of Semiautomatic's last album on 5RC/Kill Rock Stars, but real life duties took over. Here's my dog, Orbit on the cover.

Rice - Banned from Gilman 95 (Live!!!)




The Story goes...Rice played at Gilman Street in early 92 and Rop took down the "No Stage Diving" sign and someone took this opportunity to dive into the crowd
and accidentally, ends up poking someone's eye out. Gilman was held responsible and Rice was banned from Gilman, also their last show ever. Come 1995, Rop rents a car w/ Carlos and drives 9 hours to San Diego, to practice for 4 hours with Jason and Matt Anderson, re-learning some songs. That night, they left for a 2 week tour of the west coast. The recording is from a sold-out show w/ Avail at Gilman St. during the 2nd week of the tour. The new board members at Gilman allowed Rice to play, while the old lifers insisted as long as no stage diving. No stage diving that night, but the damage that was done was due to the roman candles that shot-out firecrackers, that were duct-taped around the bass drum and the amps.

Get your mind blown by this!!!

there will be a performance of a large group live patching composition,
called Patch, this thursday night at 10pm at the Stone. this
performance
has been previewed in Nonsense NYC and Flavorpill at
http://nyc.flavorpill.net/125007
though the event begins at 10pm (promptly) we anticipate a lot of
interest
and the venue is not huge, so you may wish to show up a few minutes
early
(9:50ish) please do not arrive before 9:45 since a line outside will
bother neighbors and interfere with the event. here are the details:

Thursday July 19, 10pm
at John Zorn's the Stone - Northwest Corner of Avenue C and 2nd Street
$5
http://thestonenyc.com/calendar.php

LoVid's Patch
Featuring:
Kyle Lapidus (mix), Tali Hinkis (source), Chuck Bettis (electronics),
Jed
Miner (feedback decay network), Zach Layton (maxmsp), Rafael Cohen (4
moogerfoogers), Howard Huang (tonetable), ra'shkatan (Kaoss Pad,
pedals),
ropstyle (ciruit bent beast), Marc Gilman (AudioMulch), Daniel
Palkowski
(arduino and msp patchers), How Town (laptop), Eric Maurer
(ring-modulator, oscillator, decay microphone), Stephen Wessley (analog

modules), Zachary Seldess (MaxMSP), Adam Kendall (Mutator, Chorus,
Echo),
Daniel Iglesia (max/msp), M.P. Lockwood (The Mystery Box), Tom
Ritchford
(Line 6 Echo, Eventide Eclipse), Ben Reid (filterbank/tremolo), Steve

(mechanical-acoustic filtering system) Ilya Mayzus (max/msp), Douglas
Repetto (mechatronics), Adam Burr (analog frequency shifter), Neg-Fi
(Neg-Box)

Starting with a static signal, each performer accepts a signal into
their
processor and passes their processed signal on to the next performer in
the patch. Each performer's processing of the signal is continuous and
doesn't involve live human manipulation; the piece evolves as each
processor is added.

THE DEATHCHURCH

Deathchurch materialized out of the ashes of Watanabe Audio Deathclaw DJs, with a broader definition on dancefloor destruction. Still considered a DJ crew, but also a Production and remixing team that performs live with instrumentations, circuit-bent creations, turntablism, laptops, drum machines and video.
