A few of my favorite moments from my live A/V piece with pedal steel guitarist @bobhoffnar for the Quad Quad event at @dadalab.io during the 2026 @fuseboxlive Festival
Curated by @grahamreynoldsmusic the event featured four electronic artists, each building a quadraphonic set with pedal steel.
It was a pleasure to work with Bob over several weeks while I designed a quad setup in Ableton (using some @c74connect devices) to process the pedal steel and pair it with audio-reactive visuals in @touchdesigner
This is a binaural mixdown of the original 4-channel piece, so listen on headphones for best results.
Full length 16:9 video is on my YouTube page, linked in my bio
Big thanks to Bob for diving into the experiment and to Fusebox for supporting work like this

BRIAN WENNER
Brooklyn-based experimental electronic musician creating dense, frenetic sound collage works. Bandcamp calls his music âsizzling experimental electronic, alternatively dissonant and tuneful.â Working with Internet-ripped audio, field recordings, and personal samples, he combines Musique Concrète with modern digital processes through hardware samplers and software manipulation. Recent album QUADRANT (March 2025, Old Technology) documents a quadraphonic live performance in Austin. Co-curates monthly series Artifact. Featured in The New York Times, VICE, FACT, and The FADER. Performed at Art Basel Miami, CURRENTS, and across North America.
PULSECODER
Kyle Evansâ electronic music project crossing deep modular synthesis with chaotic digital glitch. Drawing from IDM, house, power electronics, and glitch, pulseCoder navigates the precarious territory between music and noiseâa controlled collapse into chaos. Releases on Holodeck Records and Shadowtrash Tape Group. Evans is an internationally recognized artist who has performed at MUTEK San Francisco, Transmediale Berlin, GLI.TC/H, Currents, Blanton Museum, Dimanche Rouge Paris, and Vancouver New Music Festival.
JAMES TALAMBAS
Multi-disciplinary new media artist, composer, and Founder/Executive Director of New Media Contemporary. Creates site-specific, multi-sensory sculptures and performances through technology, collaboration, and visceral improvisation.
ASH
Generative and analogue artist creating visuals in TouchDesigner, manipulated through analogue gear and techniques.

From last night with @pulsecoder (audio) + @brandon_stargrave (visuals) and the @austin_camerata string quartet with visuals by @panoptikon.party at @dadalab.io ! Yesterday was such a great learning experience, Iâm chuffed at how things turned out but definitely tackling quadraphonic performance differently next time (more software-forward)! Thanks so much to everyone who came to the show, @brandon_stargrave for joining me on theremin, @kyleellisevans for always helping me sound my best, and @twincloverproductions for setting up my camera to film my set đđĽşđ¤
Iâm working on my own take on a Requiem Mass! Iâm performing part of it in this clip đŻď¸đŞŚ
