A skipping CD of children's music, an old accordion with sticky keys, some subterranean drums and synth bass, a departing train. Hoping to achieve some kind of glitchy transcendence through the broken fragments.

This is one of several beat tracks for my new piece "Z-Land" for string orchestra, amplified string quartet, and DJ. The full piece will be performed by the Zeeland High School Orchestra (from Zeeland, MI) November 20 at the Baltimore City school…

This is awesome! All the varying timbres work perfectly together.. I'd be glad to explain some of my percussive approaches.. I really go all over the place with my approaches. You use Live, no?

Good work Robin. After the one-minute mark the flow especially works nicely. I really like how you cut up and manipulate that synth riff around 1:30, and I agree with you that putting it where it is provides a welcome change from the epic 80's sound
The first bioelectrophilia track since returning to the US. This song was made with only 2 saki monkey vocalizations. Note the beginning of the song which demonstrates how one vocalization was turned into part of the percussion.
Man, I wish I had this track last Wednesday night when I mixed some of your other bioelectrophilia tracks at the "Sound Ecology" event that I told you about. Lots of positive comments from audience members. Keep bringing it.
My music series, Mobtown Modern, just got a great write-up in the Baltimore Sun. Our upcoming show features music by one of the composers sampled in this beat. Can you guess who it is?

i love this track. if it's ok with you, i'd like to mix a few of your tracks into an opening dj set for a concert called "sound ecology" on my new music series, mobtown modern, in baltimore. that'll be in october, featuring compositions that are inspired by the environment. i'll make sure you are credited in the program notes. check out the site for the series:

I am singing/vocalizing audio to accompany short scenes in a film made by an artist friend of mine. She calls it "Pattern Pattern". This segment goes with a snowy scene where shadows move in and out like wolves.
102nd & Amsterdam is dedicated to by father, Raymond Boyce; this was the first of many New York addresses for him. My fathers stories of growing up in New York in the 40's and 50's cemented in my mind the idea of New York as The City, an idea…
Great sensitivity to detail, strong sound images. Put some more tracks up here!
Do you by any chance have any compositions that use the voice in a non-traditional way? I'm working on programming the upcoming season of Mobtown Modern, a new music series at the Contemporary Museum in Baltimore that I recently started with saxophonist Brian Sacawa. One of the programs that is still open is called "More Than Words" (January), concentrating on innovative treatment of the human voice. Let me know if you have anything that could work for that. By the way, do you teach in the DC area?
Best,
Erik Spangler
i really love what you're doing, using your own field recordings of environmental sounds as sampling material. do you know stephen vitiello's work? less beat-oriented, but touching on some similar ideas of "sound ecology". keep these tracks coming.
Comments on Erik Spangler's stuff
nice beat!
man, I'd love an album full of this stuff...
re: Hoping to achieve some kind of glitchy transcendence through the broken fragments. wow....nicely put.
What a wonderful concoction.
would be nice to hear the full piece too...
yeah! This is also great! Wish they performed this back when I was in high school!
This is awesome! All the varying timbres work perfectly together.. I'd be glad to explain some of my percussive approaches.. I really go all over the place with my approaches. You use Live, no?
Interesting track- really creative!

Yes, I can see it, you really set the scene well and it's beautifully played.

sounds so sweet, damn... i'm usually into more sample-based tracks, but your use of synth layers is so tight
cool. which project is this for?
Very cool
so chill. great sound

Haunting and beautiful. I'd love to see the film.

Great layering and drum programming. Kind of like a blend of Squarepusher and Radiohead, very nice.
