The future of our computer desktop:


SomaFM independent internet radio
View Article  Mental Floss interview on PepperScott Television
I just found a copy of some video of me shot around 1999 for an early Internet video program called PepperScott Television. It's a bit dated, but an interesting take on myself at the time, what I had done, and where I was going.


MENTAL FLOSS - TORONTO INTERNET TELEVISION
View Article  New track - Blue Calx Drum'n'Bass Remix (original by Aphex Twin)
For years and years I had a jazzy drum'n'bass remix floating around in my head for Aphex Twin's beautiful ambient track Blue Calx.  When I sat down to write it one sleepless night, somehow it lost the jazzy bit. Still, it didn't turn out too shabby, though a bit ravey.  No loops used -- all sequenced from the ground up.  

You can listen to the track right now using the player below, or download the entire mp3 here.

View Article  This is just a little samba, built upon a single note...
In 1991 I broke open my computer, attached two clips to the speaker conats inside and plugged the other end into my stereo. Synthesizers were prohibitively expensive at the time but I found cheap software (and a whole community of musicians and artists allong with it) that turned everyone's word processing and game machine into a creative tool.

I'm flushing this section out still, and I'm amazed at how much of my own music I seem to have lost. If you have some that aren't listed please email me
