We’d been so very quiet as… hiding in our bunkers, calibrating the equipment, running tests, calculating co-ordinates and escape routes… emerging, wrapped in space blankets, our core modules synced with red-shift calculations to guard against malfunction as we approach the event horizon. It was time to run the experiments again…
HexBank (BinHex and Robin Banks) and I jamming at an island getaway, with me on the synths while they dug deep into space… wasn’t planned. all the gear was set up already, and I just couldn’t help muscling in. magic resulted.
November 14, 1993, San Francisco. I was incredibly fortunate to see NASA’s See the Light Tour with Aphex Twin, Orbital, Vapourspace, Young American Primative, Moby, Djs Jonah (spacetime continuum), Dj Tim (Utah Saints, Jeno and Dj Alex… This was just as techno was starting to break across North America, with this being the first proper […]
While working away in Regina, in the deep freeze of the Saskatchewan urban prairie, I’ve employed a number of strategies to keep myself entertained. One of which being the discovery of this great webcasting site/app called Mixlr. I’d been booked to play The Art of Beatz show on Vancouver’s Co-Op Radio, earlier in the summer, […]
Have a listen to some ambient tracks I’ve been working on over the years… Mostly done with a hodge-podge of cobbled together gear… cheap craigslist finds, little droids by people like bleeplabs.com, monotrons, mopho’s, a simmons sds8 controlled by a 707 and the formidable Wavetek 135 LIN LOG Sweep Generator, amongst other things… Listen here, […]
We started with Avril 14th, which is actually Mum’s birthday… funny that. And of course, he’s never heard any of it, and pretty much nails it the first time through. We had a few lumps in our throats… He thought it a “simple little melody… quite cute.”
Recorded during the heatwave of August, 2010… It was super damn hot, at least for Vancouver. I spent the next summer in New Mexico, and the one after that in Montreal, which led me to the conclusion that we’re kinda wimps over here… Tracklisting Keynell 1 by Gescom Memorandrum by Voice Stealer Errorlove by Smash […]
I was spending a lot of time driving between Vancouver and Santa Fe NM for a while there… seemed to always be on the road. This was a reflection of that… Tracklisting O’Locco (Sei A Remix) by Sun Electric Two Dots (Reverse Engineered) by Lusine It Never Changes To Stop by The Books Paridse Circus […]

For all the old school peeps, esp. Teamlounge and the old Victoria crew. Some tracks from a rich ambient past… I don’t think any of them are newer than 1995… “Progress is measured by how much we lose” was originally the name of the radio show the Peter “the homeless guy” would do after our […]

There is definitely a process to things… this is probably one of my favourite mixes. Covers a lot of different terrain… Tracklisting Komponent (Telefon Tel Aviv Remix) by Apparat Captain Webb by Baby Mammoth Aquarius (Live @ Warp 10) by Boards of Canada Save Me Concubine by Ghostface Killah vs Beirut 9:24 by Global communications […]
Somewhat reminiscent of the Cliff Hangers game on the Price is Right, minus the yodeling… starts off low and slowly builds till wham! It get’s all crazy! It’s basically what I’d really like to dance to if I wasn’t busy dj’ing…. bring to a slow boil… Tracklisting Missing you by Slowdive Glamourama by Photek Baby’s […]
Damn thyroid! Anyways, he’s all clear now and with a bitchin’ throat scar for his troubles… But, what to do when a friend comes down with the something nasty lie that? Throw a party of course! This set was pre-recorded for the Art of Beatz radio show here in Vancouver, and features only music created […]
