Holographic Warmth: Studio Mixtape for Mysteries of the Deep 9128.live Takeover
'Holographic Warmth' took shape as an informal studio mixtape, compiling a handful of orphaned sonic experiments and extended guitar drones that sprouted up in the restless moments between more formal projects [c. December 2018 - March 2019]. My intention was always to return to this material at…

Last Of The Good Sins
Preview track taken from my upcoming release for Full Spectrum / Editions Littlefield, 'The Blood.' From the label's one-sheet: Full Spectrum mainstay Radere is back with a new collection of pieces culled from stripped down improvisations, which he captured during the winter of 2017-2018. The...

A quick capture of a patch I am developing for my evolving Eurorack system, which hones in on the darker tonalities of the Mutable Instruments Elements and Clouds modules. Recorded at home in the early hours of the morning.

10.04.2013: Live at Deer Pile
A recording of my performance at Deer Pile in Denver, CO on October 4th, 2013 as part of Plastic Sound Supply's release party for the 'Ultrasoft!' compilation. Audio was captured direct from the board with a Zoom H4n, with editing only being done for equalization and volume.

03.23.2013: Live at The Burlington
A live document of my performance at The Burlington in Chicago, IL earlier this year, where I shared a bill with Scott Cortez and Zelienople. Recorded using guitar, mini-cassette, laptop and electronics, this performance was captured direct from the board and only edited for length and volume....
-
feedback01 (snow day)
A quick recording I made last night during an early spring snowstorm, "feedback01" is an off-the-cuff studio improvisation captured while I experimented with my recently expanded Moogerfooger modular effects system. The sound itself is gnarled and decidedly raw, but I'm looking forward to mining...
-
Everything Dies, But That's Alright (Extended Mix)
Last fall, I contributed a version of this track to Headphone Commute's ...And Darkness Came compilation, which raised funds to benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy. The mix I submitted for the project had to be considerably shortened, due to time constraints; but I liked the original edit so much...

Marin
My new album, Dreamless, is slated for release on Full Spectrum Records this Valentine's Day. At this time, I am pleased to be able to share the first taste of that release in the form of "Marin." A staple of my live sets over the past year, this track is built from tape recordings of Full…

Exultation (Loop)
Recorded for inclusion on the recently released companion compilation for this year's Goldrush Music Festival, "Exultation (Loop)" was built around a processed mini-cassette recording of a church choir rehearsal. My friend and collaborator Sun Hammer recently produced a remix of this track, which...
-
Lurker [disquiet0030-nonsilent]
For this week's Junto project, we were instructed to explore John Cage's notion of silence, specifically in the context of recorded silence. As such, I chose to delve deeper into a technique I've used in my recent live performances, taking advantage of the microphonic nature of guitar pick-ups…

Feeding Time [disquiet0029-countzero]
For this week's Junto project, we were asked to build a composition around the natural rhythms of water. Rather than turning to nature for my foundational samples, I captured the sounds of the aquarium pump in my studio; taking advantage of its mechanical flow to infuse this piece with a subtle...
-
Never, Ever (Loopstructure)
A brief loop-based piece, which fell together rather rapidly during a recent studio session. An ode to that odd woozy look that trees take on when they've been submitted to the summer sun for a bit too long...
-
Mirrored (Back + Forth) [disquiet0023-palindrone]
For this week's Junto assignment, we were asked to create a palindromic drone from a provided selection of samples. I've long held a certain fascination with such compositional techniques, having recorded several such pieces for guitar over the years. I chose to make use of several recordings of...
-
Sputter Dubs [disquiet0022-sonicdecay]
Junto 22 concerned itself with sonic decay, be it the warbling tonal shifts of aged magnetic tape or the tintinnabular artefacts of digital bit reduction. I pulled out a (very old) Tascam Portastudio for this project, making use of its unreliable playback speeds and touchy output jacks. An…

Sun Hammer + Radere - Mountain Standards [disquiet0021-4seasons]
Sun Hammer and I had the great fortune of collaborating on this Junto project together while he was traveling through Colorado this last weekend. We chose to use two of the provided field recordings, supplementing them with sounds from Sun Hammer's own collection for the winter and spring…

04.07.2012: Tape Drift Session
Last week, I dusted off an old four-track tape machine that had been given to me by a friend. After reacquainting myself with the unit's basic controls - and battling some rather finicky output jacks - I managed to lay down some noise during a late night session. This is the first of what I hope…

Excerpt Process
I completely failed to set the levels properly when I attempted to record my performance last Friday; as such, I lifted a few samples from the buggered .WAV and built out this little sketch. Doen't quite capture the spirit of the set, but it's something. Enjoy.

4'33" (Moments with the Needle Lifted)
A moment of "silence" held in my home office/studio. The sound of traffic passing outside is audible, as well as the faint hum of my stereo receiver; the turntable is still spinning, but the needle has been lifted. In the background, my roommate's Boston Terrier is snoring, while the click and...

11.13.2010: Live at Younglove's
A recording of my performance supporting Xela and Black To Comm at West Philadelphia vintage boutique Younglove's. Comprised of live guitar looping, field recordings and processed percussion. Photo by John Twells.
