Fynndlit & Shrub - Phases

This is an album I made with one of my best friends, ALEX BRAVO, whose name is also Shrub. Lots of reverb in this one.

The Fynndlit Big Band - Miranda's Solar Tide

This jam included Aaron's old roommate from last year at Cal Poly Pomona. He's a great drummer so I got to play synth instead. I really really like this one.

Ian Scheiner - Guitar
Aaron Cote - Bass
Jack Selberg - Xylophone
James Lake - Analog Synth
Michael Caraglio - Drums

Fynndlit - Fynndlit XIII

This was all done on my MG 1 again, and this recording setup was strange. I was using my computer and my 24 track for other things (trying to get other jams mastered) so instead, I took this old cassette recorder and took the headphones out of my mixer and split that into stereo RCA and recorded live right onto a cassette and then ripped that digitally. Here you go.

Something Universal - Positron Emission

I recorded these songs on the first and second day that Jack was back from school for summer. It also includes Shrub on the 3rd track, and Aaron on the 5th. Lots of reverb in this one.

Fynndlit - Fynndlit XI & XII

These two songs are both sort of exploiting malfunctioning audio equipment. In XI, my tape player is so bad that it pretty much does what it wants. This is a more lo-fi robert fripp or brian eno like analog tape looper. XII uses skipping CD players as the basis of it, while I play field recordings I made in Big Bear, CA that I sent through filters I built in my computer. This one turned out especially well.

THE RAPTOR OF THE RAPTURE

After school got out on May 20th, I flew up to Berkeley for my brothers graduation ceremony and hung out with his friends and we recorded all these jams on the night of May 20th to the morning of May 21st which Harold Camping said was the Rapture. The personalities involved include Nick Lake, Sam Gerhard, Patrick Xu, Patrick Krier and myself.
