heard some rattling in the cabinet so before powering it on i took it apart to find this. these piezo horn drivers were temporary while I waited for the actual replacement diaphragm for the compression driver that belonged there... glad i checked! these lasted a few gigs but I don't trust like that.

1/1 Kunaki 2025

40 minutes but 0 songs

drum machines modulate 0-input mixer feedback, monotron as dub siren, delay pedals in lieu of space echo, recorded on 4-track cassette and mixed down into zoom h4n

minimal digital edits to 140bpm 19:59

this is a lil snop of side B:

if you see this post, drop an old pic you love.

probably one of my best sets of the ag ag lady era, on tour with syphilis sauna we really drove the "go live or go home" live pa ethos to a maximal level of absurdity for a pair of DIY breakcorers hauling a PA in a 2-door coupe... there's video too!

yeah it forces playback from ram rather than streaming from disk. takes a bit more time when loading the project and limits available ram for other things, but I remember leaning on this alot when running into system limits

the recording for the workshop didn't turn out, so instead i will just post clips of VOLCABULARY in action.
the secret is that it's just playing with my toys.

another one off the bench ready to go back into service. this beautiful a&h was pastured after being subjected to unfortunate liquid damage (please do not rest yr drinks on dj booth!) luckily the channel strips are mounted vertically so nothing was able to pool! cleaned out a bunch of glitter too ;)

trying to be the mentor that i needed 20 years ago

i am musician, dj, dancer, audio engineer, and master of their myriad interconnections
my hands don't work so good anymore and i can't lift heavy speakers but I know how they work and how to fix em

do you want to know?
know that it doesn't hurt me

new sticker just dropped. these are well formed but kinda sloppy, and the thermal paper background is another opportunity to aestheticize the decay of technology used beyond its short-sighted intentions. i should have a few on me, if u see me just ask and i will gladly share!
