Sound Samples

Live Cinema has rejuvenated my music making spirit!

In my early twenties, I was obsessed with making electric music with the Korg Kaos Pad II and the Korg Kaosilator. I loved the strange effects and sounds I could combine. Especially when paired with beatboxing.

For my Live Cinema pieces, I figured I would get out some of my old equipment. I forgot how much I loved making music! It sparked a new interest in making abstract soundscapes.

The Kaos Pad II felt too technoie and the Kaossolator was not as exact as I needed it to be as an instrument so I ordered a small synth called the Korg Volca Keys, a cheap electric kolimba, and a Hologram Microcosim.

Using these two simple instruments and effects pedal, I have been able to get some interesting and repeatable soundscapes for some pieces I am working on.

The unique combination has made it possible for me to make loud and repeatable soundscapes that I can perform live over film, images, and narration.

Lately, I have found it difficult to stay focused. I end up having too much fun and forget my purpose for starting in the first place.

Below are some of my first raw recordings used with a ZOOM recorder.
