During my last year at art school I wanted to make a short film. Unfortunately, the project fell through (I wasn’t able to obtain a film permit for the Pasadena Civic Center parking lot). Although, I did sneaked in there once or twice.
With the footage I acquired by means of stealth (taken with the world’s worst camcorder circa 1992), I made experiments using Adobe AfterEffects. Bellow are the results (sans audio).
→ Want more?I don’t know what happened to me lately but since New Year’s Eve I’ve been staying up far too late most nights making ‘der sweet jams’. These recordings were made exclusively with Ableton Live 6, which I’m growing more and more fond of. So, please, by all means, have a listen. Some of these tracks were made generatively using Live’s follow rules. Others, like Robotic Joy, were simply composed using midi notes.

My Hands Over Your Ears is a collection of experimental digital recordings made in 2007. This represents my first foray into digital music. Inspiration for the recordings came from having listened to Brian Eno and Harold Budd’s 1980 album Ambient 2: Plateaux of Mirror. I started creating digital music almost immediately after hearing it. → Want more?
