The installation video clips and the photo above are from a YouTube posted by BYOB NY curator Rafael Rozendaal. Thanks to users of dump.fm who unknowingly contributed material used in some of these projections: FAUXreal, andrej, stage (Square Homage Lamb), noisia (Projectors), j1p2m3, stefan, and others. The GIFs were sized for a 800 x 600 screen (my projector dimensions) so they now have more white space around them (on most browsers) than they did in the show.

"Village of the Hammonds"

"Village of the Hammonds" [mp3 removed]

Still working with the simulated Roland "space echo" delay (the RE-201). Here some Hammond B3s make bare-bones statements in concert with detuned FM percussion. A couple of drum patterns and a keyboard riff were borrowed from an earlier song, "Lithium Valley."

Update: Changed the title from "Valley of the Hammonds" to "Village of the Hammonds." It just sounds more preposterous.

"Space Jive Trio 2010"

"Space Jive Trio 2010" [mp3 removed]

Did this song 3 years ago and noticed it had some clipping so I ended up revamping it with much more echo. Also added a slight wah on one of the organ parts. With all the added delay this is sounding vaguely African now, as opposed to a jape on '60s "combo" jazz.

large version

hat tip j1p2m3 - the original GIF was made by a wingnut who believes govt has the time and money to waste plowing and replowing the same snow; this person must not live in the US, where conservatives have cut municipal budgets to a barely functioning level. In my version, the plow is in a state of "smeared" quantum uncertainty where its function and even size is in flux - this is a metaphor for the mind of the modern Tea Party moron.
