Between the 10th and the 20th of July I participated in 5(ish) shows that I am either proud or very proud of:
July 10th - "Artifacting x Ex/Endowed". A collaborative & highly physical performance piece. First time playing drums live. Wrestled
@uncanny.hidden.valley.ranch onstage (mutually agreed prior to the set). Borrowed Jearin's drum kit and played drone-y bass-y eurorack. Tried plugging in my guitar to the rack as well. Sounded crazy. Reminded me of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Tyrus on vocals, a hardware violin he built, sampler, pedals, and backing tracks. Highly conceptual & physically demanding. Felt like Tyrus and I
channeled something from a shared extra dimension.
July 15th - "Crow of Thorns" A set for the first ever
@idahonoisefest . Stoked to have played that no-bullshit, pure power electronics set with
@tyrus_newell . Live improv with modular rig, contact mic, pedals, & drum sampler.
July 16th - "Street Fever". I programmed and fired off the lights for
@streetfever 's Noise Fest set. Beautifully destructive.
July 17th - "Artifacting". My solo set for
@idahonoisefest . I was running on fumes creatively, & struggled to figure out exactly what I wanted to do for my solo set. I decided that I wanted to mix up the noise fest by playing a distorted, heavily atmospheric set. I returned to my stillness and leaned on the set design. My mom
@thebelledemijour graciously let me borrow a pillar from her garden. In a sea of black old english typeface shirts I adorned my equipment in white. I used ableton, modular, samples, & voice.
July 20th - "Goth Night DJ Set". Just a fun DJ set. Felt great to dance and share music ive come across over the past few years.
@stephybees put together a great playlist too!
Big thank-yous:
@idahonoisefest ,
@mutilatedcircuitry , & the
@realms.life crew for facilitating Boise history, & all performers.
@tyrus_newell &
@lasherforever for being inspiring collaborators & supportive friends :,)
@groomingbpm for making the trip out, hanging, & putting on one of the best 1-man shows ive ever seen. I was fully immersed.
@goblinforhire for putting up with the racket & keeping me sane <3
Love & Light to all who support the arts
