about

Digital reissue of my first official album, Welcome Home, released initially on Important Records in 2005. This is primarily brutal computer music created with custom software that I designed to translate physical movements into DSP data for sound mutilation. There is also a ballad or two squeezed in here, believe it.

Obviously, I was really into the wild computer music Mego scene back then and was thrilled to have the always great Peter Rehberg collaborate with me on one of the tracks.

Sound wizard and good old friend Dino Felipe from Miami (who was very influential in my music taste by introducing me to the Boredoms, Bulb Records and Hanson Records in the mid/late 90's) also appears on one of my favorite tracks in the record.

Norway's own sound-sculpture national treasure and tea connoisseur Lasse Marhaug did the mastering, which really opened it up and gave it a bit of life for the final touch.

Finally, one of my favorite artists, Maya Miller, who played in Double Leopards then, was kind enough to kill the artwork.

Original Notes:
Recorded between 2002-2004 straight to hard drive.

Mostly in Bushwick-Brooklyn, but also in Barquisimeto-Venezuela, Caracas-Venezuela, Margarita-Venezuela, Amsterdam-Netherlands, Oslo-Norway, Barcelona-Spain, Frankfurt-Germany, Weston-Usa, Miami-Usa, and possibly/probably more places I forget.

Two hard drives were damaged beyond repair during the recording of these tracks.
