About Me

Skill Level:
Professional
Craft:
educator/teacher, producer, composer, illustrator
Instruments:
drum machine, percussion, tin whistle, keyboard, drums, voice
Genres:
modern classical, trip-hop, drum and bass, christian pop, electronica, idm, big beat, breakbeat, dub, ambient dub, minimalist, new age
Influences:
Thelonious Monk, Aphex Twin, Johnny Cash, Underworld, Dangermouse, Gnarls Barkley, Outkast, The Neptunes, Bjork, Miles Davis, Bach, Steve Reich, William Shatner, Israel and New Breed

Poet-philosopher-lover-scholar and really, really
humble, too!
I live in Japan and make wacky electronica and occasionally get paid to do it.
More frequently I get paid to not do it....
Communicating through music is a must because my Japanese is lousy. My day job involves producing tracks which help kids learn English.
Unfortunately, as a result of crossbreeding my love of glitch with the ABC's, many Japanese kids now speak an unintelligible, garbled and stuttering English patois.

Working With Others

How I Work:

I start with only the freshest ingredients...

Experience:

Years of artistic struggle and disappointment.
I sold my soul to the man and was unable to buy it back again after the initial excitement of that relationship wore off and it was apparent I had made a horrible mistake... The only available option was taking the deal on offer via the Blood of Christ. Now, I am still not my own, but at least I am free (Daddy likes paradoxes). Anyway, I have learned which buttons to push to get the reward (there isn't one- not the one you think you want, anyway) and more importantly, I have learned -and am still learning- when to play and when not to and how to make the spaces between the notes
really sing!

Equipment:

Does anyone care about all the junk I accumulated from years of slave labor at Guitar Center?
I have a list of VST's longer than your (or your parents', punk) credit card statement and my Pro-Tool is compatible.
I most frequently work using Reaktor within a custom version of Live8 fitted with Heisenberg uncertainty amplifiers and I have a degree in Theology.

Lol, you must be the most humble person around...anyway your face looks familiar and it's bugging me. Do I know you? Like in real life?

Ah well. Like what you did on the steam machine session. And your tracks are crispy clean man. Dubplate special reminds me of Squarepusher. Am taking notes! Keep up the good work

Precious Nard is such a Jam. I like the MC505's drum sounds a lot. Oakland's changing man.

Dude thank you so much for your feedback on my Gin And Money remix. I worked hard on that bass line. Cheers and peace, KL
