There’s a group on Facebook that I’m involved with that has monthly/bi-monthly/whenever challenges. This was the first time I’ve actually contributed to it. This month’s challenge reads: Okay, dear Electronetae, I offer up the March/April challenge!! Our resident historian and story teller, Mark, recently told me about synth and sound pioneer Don Lewis, who was ‘so influenced by Wendy’s ‘Sonic… Read more →

Chopstick – Ginger Garlic Fantastic (2011)
On this day in 2011 I had apparently spray painted the 30 second looping cassette tapes that I used for a tape series I called “Ginger Garlic Fantastic.” I had created a loop on my computer which is embedded here. Computer was connected to the tape recorder and I would record 30 seconds at a time, changing the parameters of… Read more →
Art Street: Noise at the West End Club 02/20/2017
We were thrilled to play a huge role in this year’s Art Street. Those from the Noise, Historian, and Trash groups had built a 1920’s speakeasy titled The West End Club which was housed within the few dozen art installments that were present at Art Street. In 2016 the group was responsible for Art Hotel which I had also performed… Read more →
Chopstick – Live at Naked Lounge 1/7/2017
Here are the recordings from Friday night, January 6th 2017. I had a grounding issue with my theremin which I couldn’t figure out until I was done with the performance. Initially I had thought it was my volume pedal. It had been a while since I last played Naked Lounge and I had a grounding issue last few times that… Read more →

“coffee for noise lovers & noise for coffee lovers vol 2”
For this year’s Noise Fest IndieGoGo campaign I had done a similar perk to what I did last year. Last year I roasted 5 pounds of coffee and paired it with a unique recording. Two people purchased this perk so I ended up roasting 10 pounds of coffee which took up a good part of the day. Despite the mild… Read more →
Pirate Box
This year I had purchased a Raspberry Pi with intent to do some creative things with it. One of these things has been to create a Pirate Box. The pirate box will transmit a local wifi signal, isolated from the actual Internet, which allows people to chat and share files with one another in a local setting. The idea… Read more →
From the archives: Sacramento Audio Waffle, November 2011
Part of me is regretting wearing the ninja turtles beanie and the metroid shirt at the same time. What was I trying to prove here? That I like games and cartoons? Anyways, fun old set here. This was around when I was first experimenting with the theremin as a controller for the Moog Rogue. I can tell because the volume… Read more →
