- A bit about
Hi! I've been making electronic music since 1999. My main musical philosophy centres around a playful kind of synthesizer pop with filmic and computery overtones.
I began with releasng CD-Rs on Zine distros and free mp3 releases, and I've put out 8 CD albums, one cassette and a single on Atari 2600 cartridge.
After a youth spent watching a lot of television and spending a lot of time with my Commodore 64, I began releasing songs made with free software music-tracker Jeskola Buzz in the 1990s. I found the practice of working with computers, plugins and free software the most direct, participatory way to make electronic music. In the electronic world, the consumptive, lock-in models of hardware and the essentialistic notions attached to vintage audio gear are a huge barrier to actual music making.
Live I've toured NZ over a dozen times, Europe three times and one coast-to-coast tour of the USA, racking up over 200 shows.
Visual-wise I work very closely with #1 video guy Simon Ward www.siward.tv, and illustrator / sculptor / visionary Don Brooker - http://donbrooker.blogspot.com. Videos viewable here: www.youtube.com/Disasteradio
In October 2010 I released my 8th album "Charisma" as pay-as-you-like / free mp3 on bandcamp. I find the potential for music in a post-record-industry age is really super exciting, and I believe the quicker we can end this gamey, un-artistic, boring set of orthodoxies attached to music, the better.
