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.
