CMKT4 in the Theatre Intangible Studios

You may remember CMKT4 — circuit-bent rock ‘n roll trio, GetLoFi writers, makers of the bottlecap contact mic, and members of the greater Chicago circuit-bending collective — from podcast 23, Artificial. While in Nashville, they were kind enough to come on T.I. again for an artist showcase. On episode 29, hear CMKT4 play their brand of off-kilter rock ‘n roll while discussing their 2010 tour, circuit-bending, and Abby the Spoon Lady. They even give us a live demonstration of the bottlecap contact mic. Although they use home-made and circuit-bending instruments, CMKT4 is really a rock ‘n roll and thus falls a bit outside the scope of T.I. Still, the deviation is quite worth it. Hope you enjoy!

I apologize for the clipped-vocals in some sections — with three vocalists, drums, bass, guitar, and a multitude of toys, we had to bring in a second mixer that I was unfamiliar with. To keep the duration under 45 minutes, I had to cut 2 songs; but you can download the concert in it’s entirety by following this link.

E028 The Swarm 07/26/2010

We’ve been releasing some pretty dark episodes of late. There was the distorted Degenerates, the psychotic Mixmaster Satan, the electrocutional Artificial, and the pissed-off Angry Beavers. But this week’s episode The Swarm outdoes them all in its deeply disturbing drone. Plug all impressionable ears: this one is positively possessive!

The Swarm stars Anderson Cook from Ortolan on guitar, voice, and no-input mixer; Dylan Simon from Mass at Dawn on Shruti Box, Echoplex, Sears & Roebuck Tremelo Unit, Ring Mod, Gong, and voice; DaveX on processing via phone line; and myself on delay.  I also did the live mixing, editing, and post processing.

Tread lightly.

Experimental space improv duo 84001 joined me in the studio for a mind-bending improv showcase.  In the interview, guitarist/keyboardist Tim Carey mentioned that his baby was due on July 12th, today.  I’m happy to announce that Tim and his wife are the proud parents of a baby boy!

E026 Mixmaster Satan 07/05/2010

This one goes way back. Actually, it’s the second episode EVER, recorded and broadcast October 22nd, 1998 on ~ORE~ Prefab Audio Extrapolations, WIDB Radio, Carbondale, Illinois. My ~ORE~ co-host DaveX had yet to join me. In studio with me (if memory serves) were Tom Denney, Mike Meyer, and Wil Bernal. You can hear them calling in as various characters. (Usually they would just go to the station front room and call in on the other station line.)

Mixmaster Satan is a dark portal through pre-9/11 American television. In these pre-digital days, I recorded television sound bites and field recordings directly from the speaker into a cassette recorder and playing back on the station cassette deck live. When I wanted to repeat a section, I had to rewind, watch the counter, and playback, hoping I timed it right. When you listen to these early shows, you’ll be able to tell we were VERY inspired by Negativland. Although I still like these early episodes, it was the over-reliance on sound bites and tv samples that made me want to make the next incarnation (Theatre Intangible) sample-free, created entirely by the performers in-studio. But this episode takes me back.
