Hifi Envelope

Amoeba killing it again with another stellar What’s in my bag? episode. This time one of my lifelong heroes: Simon Raymonde (whom I once met behind a club in 1994 in Tampa, FL after a Cocteau Twins gig).

Current events have me needing a lift. I don’t know about you, but I often turn to pop music. Specifically, that of my youth. Like this gem:

I’m releasing a tour ep soon consisting of the songs I performed at the one and only live Hifi Envelope engagement scheduled for this year when I played at the 20th birthday celebration for in Gainesville, FL back in March. It will be available on my bandcamp digitally and I will have a handful of cd’s to sell/give away. I still have a few copies of my most ambitious effort to date, The Hours We Passed in Dreaming, released in February. So if you haven’t listened yet, find it at the link in bio to buy on cd or listen at whichever soulless corporation or oligarch owned platform you prefer.

Missing last week something terrible right now when I was at with my wife.

Expert level curated evening spent amongst new and old friends alike to celebrate 20th anniversary.
Selected highlights when I had the good sense to whip out my phone:

bringing the noise funk like only he can

being devastating and beautiful

absolutely killing with the perkons
exe brutal and brilliant as always

flooring everyone with just an elektron samples and a delay pedal

delightful energy was infectious

Outside the venue when Ironing was starting up

Thanks to for his indispensable decades of service to our community of noise, electronic, and outsider art in bringing us all together and for making the venue and technical side all work!

Playing tonight in Gainesville, FL as part of Action Research #244 where we celebrating 20 years of Ironing.

Today I release an album I have worked on in fits and starts since 2014. Unlike past releases of mine, there have been many people that helped me shape this material. I appreciate their contributions and efforts! Find this album at my bandcamp or on your streaming platform of choice and appreciate them for yourself!

Had an incredible afternoon hanging with one of my musical heroes, Martin Atkins, at his Museum of Post Punk and Industrial Music.
1.Getting to hear unreleased Skinny Puppy, unreleased Thrill Kill Kult remixes, and the demo tape that would become NIN’s Pretty Hate Machine.
2.Hamming it up
3.The kit Martin played with Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, and Pigface
4.Various Genesis P Orridge memorabilia including an outfit he wore on videos announcing Pigface live performances and a handwritten note asking Martin to join Psychic TV. Killing Joke stage backdrop also pictured.
5.Gub poster
6.His Grammy for NIN’s Wish hanging over the sh***er
7.The aforementioned NIN demo tape given to Martin by Trent Reznor in 1985
8.Sculpture that’s on the cover of Pigface’s Easy Listening album
9.Martin’s signature sticks he autographed for me

Make it a priority to visit this place if you’re like me and have a fondness for this period of music. Martin’s stories, insights, and generosity are definitely worth the trip!
