My band, tentatively named "Dr. Toast" after the advice columnist on my
popular toast web page, consists of two human members (me on bass, Drew on
guitar) and a disconcerting array of electronic noise producers and
manipulators. Our setup is a live interactive system consisting of sounds
and multimedia, with a computer running Opcode's MAX software as the
interface between humans and machines. It's a work constantly in progress,
but one feature of the current setup includes our special patented "Amazing
Suits of Light". We don suits of white christmas lights which transform us
into constellations of wonderment that pulsate to the beat.
I'm also thinking of having toast be automatically produced during moments
of extreme dissonance.
The sound: On a foundation of a slowed-down, tweaked-out, hell of phat (if I
may) hiphop beat and a slinky alien-gangsta bass groove, my mentally
unstable guitarist and I add layers of dark yet tasty swirling sonic soup
that metamorphose, overlap, and fade in and out. Much like if James Brown
and Steve Reich got together with D.J. Krush and traveled the galaxy in a
rocketship equipped with a high-power speaker system, dispensing music to
appreciative alien races. And if they all smoked a lot of crack.
