I found out recently that my album “I Hear Your Signals” made it to the top 20 for October 2011 for the show Galactic Travels – woot! The show airs on NPR Member Station WDIY 88.1 FM out of Bethlehem PA. The show is hosted by Bill Fox who features an hour of soundscapes of electronic, ambient, and space music.
Yesterday I performed a live set for for the Halloween 2011 Online Streaming Concert over at Radio.Electro-Music.com. This 29 minute recording (CC-BY-NC) is a high-fidelity stereo capture from the stream in it’s entirety so get those studio headphones out or play on kick ass system!
Note that the intro was re-recorded later that day as I forgot to turn on the stream recorder till I was 45 seconds in – doh. The rest of the audio is from the actual stream with one edit to remove 30 seconds of dead air when I experienced a minor issue.
Set List:
1) "Welcome to the Inferno" Sound Design Cue from Inferno Haunted House (recording) 2) "Mad Carnival" Sound Design Cue from Inferno Haunted House (recording) 3) "Icy Caves" Sound Design Cue from Inferno Haunted House (recording) 4) "They Walk Among Us" from REBOOT (recording) 5) "I Can See Them" from the album I HEAR YOUR SIGNALS (performed live on Percussa AudioCubes) 6) "Before We Wake" from forthcoming album (performed ive on Theremin pitch-to-midi with AudioCube ) 7) "Dark Signals" from I HEAR YOUR SIGNALS (performed live AudioCubes, keys, Theremin, Tenori-On) 8) "Celebration and Voices" from I HEAR YOUR SIGNALS (performed live on Launchpad grid) 9) "Infected" from REBOOT (recording) 10) "Intercept Transmission" structured improvisation (performed live on Launchpad grid)
Thanks
Paul Harriman from Electro-Music who encouraged me to get involved with their online community and also pointed me in the right direction for tools in this regard. Paul you don’t know what you started – lol.
Jack Hertz for organizing the concert, creating a cool poster, for helping me to test my rig and for taking the time to teach me how to manage connections and hand-offs to electro-music’s ports.
Gregg Cannady who was kind enough to loan me a Theremin for the show as I broke mine just before the show (long story)
Studio Changes to Support Live Streaming of Audio and Video
This concert, and my audio/video broadcast from Boulder to the Pacific Northwest Synth Fest (talk and performance on Percussa AudioCubes) is the culmination of about 4 elapsed weeks of work to reorganize my studio space to accommodate this sort of performance. Part of that is investing the time to become very comfortable adding another layer of elements to manage while I perform live – so lots of rehearsal.
While this concert was audio only, checkout this sound check I broadcast live to USTREAM. Watch the embedded video below or watch the video on USTREAM. I really get the lights going at 3:16 :^) I plan on doing a lot more live online performances so if you want to get notified sign up for my newsletter. I’m thinking about doing some behind-the-scenes videos for those who “Join the Crowd”
Happy Halloween!
With all that I’ll just wish you a safe and happy Halloween!

“They Walk Among Us” Debut
I was excited to find that I made my debut as an artist on the program on the 10/24/2010 episode with my song “They Walk Among Us”.
Ok, this is turning out to be a banner week for good news. The song “Dark Signals” from my album I Hear Your Signals just hit #1 out of 51,220 songs on the sub-genre Electronica chart on SoundClick – Woot! This is my first single from the new album to go to number one and my forth track to hit number one. Previous number ones include “Stealth”, “Midnight”, and “They Walk Among Us” from my album REBOOT.
The song also broke the top 10 and came in at #2 out of 296,532 songs for the overall for Electronic music chart as well. This is my second track at #2 (“They Walk Among Us” hit #2 in 2009). “Midnight” and “Stealth” hit #1 on this chart in years past.
Thanks so much for all those who listened to the track.
