my albums are made up of a combination of live bootleg recordings captured on my phone - street musicians, late night jams in my basement, house parties, live shows, childrens music recitals, and random street sounds and conversations- i sample these and manipulate them or sometimes just burn them straight to cd for later performance on a cdj which allows for scratching, pitching, cue triggers, and drag starts and stops. i intermix these with music i sample from studio recordings i create using guitar, bass, violin, cello, synthesizers, and samplers, as well as guest performances by melissa monroe on flute, rhodes, and piano. these studio recordings are then gone through and i sample pieces of the finished studio tracks and put these samples into a live performance sampler for further performance, manipulation, and recomposition. next i perform these tracks live in accompaniment with the cdj bootleg recordings, and a mix of dj tools records, speeches, and lectures on vynil and childrens records. i mix between these 3 sources improvisationaly performing the reconfigured songs into the format you are hear here.
