FLUXRECORDS opus 49 "Trance is the original Rave, which has all the elements of Tribalism without the collective. This track as a style-study to a new style was very well received by advertising execs who knew LSD firsthand. And indeed, there is nothing here that would indicate that it is only a study in binary logic as applied to the velocity of drum hits."

FLUXRECORDS opus 25 "Drama. Dynamics. D..."

FLUXRECORDS opus 211 "In April of 2000, I went to a surprise party in Denver, Colorado. While shopping at a thrift store I discovered an album called TV Jazz Themes by the Video All-Stars, with an interpretive dancer dressed in red gracing the front cover. The TV background scores were recorded in Hollywood. Upon my return to California, I set out to find 77 Sunset Strip, but Sunset Boulevard turns into Cesar Chavez Boulevard when crossing the Pasadena Freeway, and there is no 77. It must have been across the oldest house in Los Angeles on Olvera Street. I drove back on Sunset from downtown to Hollywood. It was very hot again -- the sun blaring down on LA like every other day. Because I never wear sunglasses (or watches for that matter), the weather here probably got the best of me as I had the idea for a golden sound - very appropriate, since I live in the Golden State. By tuning in c-minor, I created it via additive synthesis on the VZ10M, but for some reason, it turned out to be more like a psychedelic organ from the 60's. I set out to compose the piece made up of samples from exotica vinyl records that were recorded in Los Angeles. But as I synchronized and tuned the master sample-index on the K2000, this honorable high-end piece of computing machinery turned itself off and saved all files with a length of 0. This set off a series of machine breakdowns and other technical glitches that turned the creation of 77sunsetstrip into a Zen koan. I found myself writing out (via mouse) the score one event at a time, with all original MIDI-input generated by IFORM's word iboard, which allows the steering of random processes via sliders. The rhythms are pointilistic and arranged geodesically, a shamanistic minimal house. A historic Hewlett-Packard sine-wave generator runs throughout. The only samples that remain are 3 sentences: Highbrow and the hipster! Starlet and the phony tipster! 77 Sunset Strip! --- It was part of the "Volume - Bed of Sound" show at P.S.1 in New York."

FLUXRECORDS opus 1 "Ever-shifting, probabilistic, multi-track tectonic plates make up this epic long player. A bold attempt to break through the cycle of rebirths."

FLUXRECORDS opus 107 "The pursuit of Algorithmic sound forms is very similar to a biologist's trial of creating life from nucleic acids. Both the composer and the biologist must recognize a point of departure when the merely assembled crosses over to being more than the sum of it's parts, when the created becomes independent of the creator."

FLUXRECORDS opus 220 "The first piece of pure Algorithmic electronica coded in Forth Musical Language on an 8 MHz Atari ST with 1/2 meg of RAM and no Harddrive."

FLUXRECORDS opus 201 "Our notion of the known universe is so dense and complex that light can not escape from it. Which is probably the reason for our inability to send and receive messages from other beings in outer space. 200b provides a method for overcoming this dilemma. It's the result of 3 days of uninterrupted complex probability computations that reduced the possible massive occurrence of sine waves to a form easily digestible to beings everywhere."

FLUXRECORDS opus 14 "If you look at the piano keyboard and you play all the keys from the lowest note on the left up to the highest note on the right, you move in half-tones. Ever since childhood I wondered what would happen if I had multiple pianos that were tuned slightly apart in a smaller interval than a half-tone. I would then be able to play micro tonal music. When I first heard the work of the obscure Russian composer Ivan Wyschnegradsky, who used the quarter tone system, I was deeply moved. "How small can micro intervals be devised and what kind of effect will this produce?", I wondered. I had to wait many years before I could realize this with Mirco Micro. Here, now, are 16,383 pianos, tuned 1/41 of a cent apart. An algorithm chose a piano and played one note on it then moved on to others -- starting with pianos very close together -- trying to describe a perfect arch."

FLUXRECORDS opus 23 "A uniform random distribution determines the forward momentum of a butterfly algorithm. The center of the distribution is moved up and then down by intuition in real-time."

FLUXRECORDS opus 76 "micro-tonal-rave-core-serialism"

FLUXRECORDS opus 212 "XENA/7.8 lasts for 7.8 minutes which equals 7 minutes and 48 seconds. Xenakis was 78 years old when he died. The notation of the title follows the convention Xenakis himself used in ST/10-1,080262. This is uncertain music for uncertain times."

FLUXRECORDS opus 17 "Probably guided by the influence of Cannabis, I decided at one point to extremely slow down random processes, so much so that their method of movement would no longer be detected by the ear and mind. What opened up was the space between events, like the realization that the universe is mostly composed of empty space."

FLUXRECORDS opus 268

FLUXRECORDS opus 18 "Sound Art. Recorded at Gallery Sommering and published by Maria Bonk Gallery."

FLUXRECORDS opus 246 "In three parts: fast - medium - slow. Composed with complex rules that derive all polyphony from a single symmetric melody."

FLUXRECORDS opus 62 "From the computer source code: "Phrase Generator creates a self-similar two bar phrase ... takes two octave range and generates notes at random ( uniform ) in a 16th note resolution ... the results are syncopated phrases of atonal character( = Acid House riffs ). Tonal melodies are possible, but less likely to occur."."

FLUXRECORDS opus 239 "Infrared radiation is primarily "heat", or thermal, radiation and can be found below the visible light spectrum. As such it can neither be seen nor heard and therefore has been the object of much speculation especially by someone who Plotinus described in 250 AD as a musician. "The musician we may think of as being exceedingly quick to beauty, drawn in a very rapture to it: somewhat slow to stir of his own impulse, he answers at once to the outer stimulus: as the timid are sensitive to noise so he to tones and the beauty they convey; all that offends against unison or harmony in melodies and rhythms repels him; he longs for measure and shapely pattern.[sic]" These apparently shapely patterns found in the invisible spheres have always been difficult to materialize in this world as they may contain the harmony of the spheres, which in turn will give anyone who discovers them the key to the universe. So in an alchemical attempt to synthesize this harmony, I began with pure sawtooth waveforms that appear and disappear according to a kind of Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. They are in a field of probability. The waves therefore begin to develop a rhythm and if tuned to a Pythagorean scale of pure ratio intervals, they will develop a changing relationship like that between overtones. The waves in Infrared Space Observatory are undergoing constantly changing very narrow-width bandpass filtering and so exposing different overtones of the sawtooth waves over time and thus move in spheres around an imaginary center both harmonically and rhythmically. The mystery of the harmony of the spheres may indeed lie in whatever is next on the probable event horizon."

FLUXRECORDS opus 245 "dramatic polyrhythmic complexity in the dungeon of the land of plenty"

FLUXRECORDS opus 184

FLUXRECORDS opus 193 "So I sat down and could no longer listen to anything as I was not well and any sound would disturb me greatly. I remembered a ladder is set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to the celestial canopy of a starry decked heaven. To climb up one must pay attention as the ladder is just a frame of empty space. A set of instructions was needed to divide this space into the smallest steps one could perceive. Then four processes would move as one, ascending and descending on the ladder. I ran the algorithm for three days, then recorded If."

FLUXRECORDS opus 24 "Total Pervers is German for Totally Perverted. Make no mistake about it, this is some serious magick mathematic-operatic metal. Right. Let's say some well formed cartoon made out of Motley Crue bytes. But wait, there's more. Brass, real Wagnerian Brass. But does this all add up? Yes. In the end everything will, well, it will end."

FLUXRECORDS opus 195 "Before the advent of the digital computer all computers were analog. So I put together a number of old outdated analog synthesizers and treated them as if they were computers, capable of performing tasks that require their own decision making. At the core of this process were Sample & Hold modules that acted as random pitch generators. An appropriate setting was found after I let the machines run for a couple of days, until I found that the results stayed within a Low to Mid range universe like New York, completely covered by fog."

FLUXRECORDS opus 204 "Los Angeles is made in the manner of John Cage from TV."

FLUXRECORDS opus 66 "All motifs here were generated by random procedure. As these motifs repeat and self-modify they form interlocking riffs, bass & rhythms and are superimposed on a Rolling Stones outtake from Gimme Shelter."

FLUXRECORDS opus 20 "Post-Cage random distribution"

FLUXRECORDS opus 258 "Micro Iterations"

FLUXRECORDS opus 59 "The whole tone scale is ambiguous. So how about some kind of operatic techno that is generated wholly by the theory of probability, like an eternal loop that regenerates DNA-like patterns forever? You got it."

FLUXRECORDS opus 247 "It was Maria's gallery"

FLUXRECORDS opus 74 "From the comments in the Formula code: "...self-similar two bar phrase DOES: I Takes two octave range and generates notes at random ( uniform )in a 16th note resolution. II Decides whether to generate a rest or that note III Repeats the first 12 notes or rests of the first bar and generates 4 new notes for the completion of the two bar phrase..."."

FLUXRECORDS opus 213 "These are intuitive alignments to the sun and the moon"

FLUXRECORDS opus 214 "The full title for this science of harmony is taken from Brother Jeffery Marshall: The Beehive As A Focal Point For Masonic Meditation. The emphasis is here on a progression on the vertical plane and generated in it's entirety by an early version of the Iform word iboard which enables the steering of Algorithmic streams.
