FLUXRECORDS opus 141 "Heart of Darkness. B Tribal is part 10 of the 72 minute The Sexual Life of Savages."

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 150 "Soft floating minimalism, the remix of a Scherer/Gogan track. Sleepwalking out of time."

FLUXRECORDS opus 136 "Where did we come from? Who are we? Where will we go? Speculation upon our manifest destiny in this universe remains unanswered while we are busy inventing new machines that will invent new machines."

FLUXRECORDS opus 58 "Primitivism, Techno-Shamanism, Ethno-Tech. In its early history mankind probably relied on what Edward B. Tayler calls a Gesture-Language. Sonic vocalization and the sounds of objects as man hit them are related. There is also a connection between repetition and permanence. The only way to be certain of the existence of anything is to witness or bring about its appearance again. To repeat a sequence of anything establishes a rhythm and is man's innate god-like ability to say "I am that I am"."

FLUXRECORDS opus 282 "Primitivism, Techno-Shamanism, Ethno-Tech. In its early history mankind, which originated in Africa, probably relied on what Edward B. Tayler calls a Gesture-Language. Sonic vocalization and the sounds of objects as man hit them are related. There is also a connection between repetition and permanence. The only way to be certain of the existence of anything is to witness or bring about its appearance again. To repeat a sequence of anything establishes a rhythm and is man's innate god-like ability to say "I am that I am"."

FLUXRECORDS opus 137 "The L Train gets you back home. After the Cibo Matto gig at the Cooler, my distributor and I walked down the stairs to the subway. We sat down on a bench and waited for the train. All of a sudden I heard a voice behind me: Can I see some identification please? I turned around and saw 2 cops standing next to me. As an illegal alien I had no papers an authority should see. I told them I had no papers and I couldn't remember my social security number. They got suspicious and one cop started writing a citation. They asked for my address and I gave it to them. In the end I got a ticket for smoking in the subway. After this I lived in constant fear of deportation. Subway is part 4 of the 72 minute The Sexual Life of Savages. "

FLUXRECORDS opus 120 "A late tribute to Claude Levi-Strauss."

FLUXRECORDS opus 242

FLUXRECORDS opus 75 "I always thought that house is really the foundation of electronic dance, you know, the basic pulse of a bass drum followed by a open hi-hat ad infinitum. Here is Tribal percussive house that builds and has definite groove and feel to it. This groovy track was not played or made by a human but by an algorithm, so in this Flow every note is made by a machine that feels."

FLUXRECORDS opus 55 "Based on a 12 bar cycle, Tribe 251 is full of complex number relations and very primitive."

FLUXRECORDS opus 241 "Dancing tools soundtrack for 3D projection commercial. Installation for Sears Tower."

FLUXRECORDS opus 78 "Peyote for your Vision Quest"

FLUXRECORDS opus 54 "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts"

FLUXRECORDS opus 222 "When George the Elder sent American troops overseas to kill for Capitalism's stronghold on oil, we walked out to Market Street and protested. There were people everywhere, talking and walking, many of them with signs or flags. Everybody was against the war and thought that there should be something that one could do to stop it. Talk radio broadcasted the outrage and shock. None of it had any effect. The only thing I could come up with was this track."

FLUXRECORDS opus 70 "A fine example of Club Pop. The right samples, an exotic Tribal decorum, binary FM percussion and motifs that have no beginning or end made this a favorite."
