Oh yeah. * * * I like my music a little bit br-oken. For a long time, in bands, I played a Gibson EB-0, with some mighty huge action, and always with some ProCo Noise. And I always pushed the band for odd changes and suuma dat 13/4 time--good to mess with the bobbleheads in the audience. * * * Now I am sitting with perfect posture in front of a MacBook, composing in a way like the embroidery gets away, sometimes, goes wild. Novelty is IN. All kinds of things get done to all kinds of noises, from field recordings to samples to straight-up synth. I wish it were more immediate, but the gratification is even greater than the guitar ever was for me. * * *** A lot of soundtracks for experimental video, installation art and sculpture. I also perform with vjFutureWorkerGirl, as Potter-Belmar Labs. We do what we call Improvised Cinema, live mixing audio and video and projecting it for a live audience. My current CD is Our Decadent Age, with about thirty minutes of music I’ve made since moving to San Antonio. It is preceded by last year’s Weird Mist, by the virtual band, The Six Types of Noise. Unicorn Men, of 2004, is a soundtrack without a film.
