A a rule-based visual instrument inspired by Bauhaus foundation studies. The images aren’t designed directly — they emerge from constraints, repetition, and small parameter shifts. An idea inspired by one of Fritz Schleifer‘s color studies, that quickly succumbed to a serious case of feature-creep. Initially an attempt to find out what the mathmatical rules he […]

Musically intricate, influenced by Eno with a love for drones and an often twisted […]

My first serious attempt at creating a web based synth got out of control… Originally a tangent spun out from my Color to Frequency Converter experiment, and my love of 80’s video game sprite art, I thought if I could assign a frequency a color, then could I build a “sequencer” that would read the […]
This started as an experiment to see how far, and how quickly one could get with “vibe coding” with chatGPT, cause, who’d have time to do this otherwise? Inspired by Look Mum, No Computer’s 1000 Oscillator Megadrone project of a synth with 1000 oscillators, a bit by Hainbach’s test equipment videos as well as my […]
In Plato’s theory of epistemology, anamnesis (/ˌænæmˈniːsɪs/; Ancient Greek: ἀνάμνησις, meaning “memory”) refers to the recollection of innate knowledge acquired before birth. The concept posits the claim that learning involves the act of rediscovering knowledge from within oneself. The theory of anamnesis suggests that the soul is immortal, and repeatedly incarnated; knowledge is in the […]
Semiotic Standard For All Commercial Trans-Stellar Utility Lifter And Heavy Element Transport Spacecraft I got bored one night, and was trying to spend some time getting used to using Affinity Designer so that I could rid myself of all things Adobe, once and for all…. needing a project, I decided to vectorize Ron Cobb‘s Weylan-Yutani […]
A Great Circle is a plane that passes through the center of the earth. (e.g. Equator and all Meridians). The shortest distance between any two points on the earth’s surface is attained along the arc of a Great Circle. Small Circles are lines that do not pass through the center of the earth. All Parallels other than the Equator are Small Circles.

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.
O blessed box of Swedish birth,You give my wax its truest worth.No bowing spines, no leaning stacks—Just perfect rows of sonic snacks. Four by four, you stand so square,Yet hold such chaos deep in there:Detroit thumps and Belgian haze,Half the Warp back-catalogue phase. Your modest frame knows none of pride,Yet hosts Aphex on every side.Autechre […]

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 […]
A collection of flyers and photos from way back when some friends and I ran an ambient music collective. We’d throw ambient events in disused movie theaters, friends lofts, a place known as “the underwear farm” and others, always with a focus on listening rather than dancing, though a lot of that happened as well. […]
Pictures taken while wandering around the docks of Prince Rupert back in 2010. The warfs were full of derelict fishing boats, testimony to what was once a vibrant fishing town.
Here are some random posters I decided late one night in June 2008 to make while thinking of things like the Granville St bar strip hell, crass consumerism, old bands I liked, the upcoming Olympics and the idea of cranking out designs while under short deadlines. It wasn’t really a moment where I felt optimistic […]
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, […]
An educational animated infographic created in 2012 for Alexandra Morton, as part of an educational campaign in her battle against the salmon farming industry, whose farms saturate the waters around them with pathogens and sea lice, and which happen to be along key migration routes for salmon fry. Since then, the BC Government began removing […]
In 2012, I worked with multi-media artist Leena Minifie to produce this 8 channel video touchscreen installation. Built with html5 and javascript, 8 videos “slices” are displayed in a circle surrounded by a north-west coast native formline design by Tsimshian artist Morgan Green. Video artists were asked to create a short video that represented home […]
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 […]

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 […]
