1999

The loop & sample soundscape of previous works is enhanced and expanded with real instruments -sampled and manipulated, of course. Some great experiments, especially with low-fi sources. Electronic sounds are paired with acoustic guitars, real drums and percussion is combined with drum machines and found sounds.

Beachboy Al Jardine asked me to remix a live cut from "The Beachboys Family and Friends" tour. I've included that final mix of "Shut it Down" (featuring Carnie & Wendy Wilson), as well as the backing instrumental score. This effort also contains a soundtrack I wrote for the Bill Meyers film "Family Values". A remix of "Hypnotized" (from "God is a Virus") with vocals by Jason Hendrickson (and some unidentified rapper??) rounds out the album.
