Clock Progress & New Mix

Due to a few weeks of sickness and hectic work schedule it's been a while since I have posted much on here.  But I have been hard at work and some serious progress has been made creatively:

For the clocks, I'm using a special material that is made for outdoor signing which means that the clocks will be super durable!  I've also found a carpenter that has done a simply amazing job cutting them to size and drilling the holes for the mechanisms to go through!  Very excited about that!  The first run of clocks are almost complete and that means that *fingerscrossed* they will be up in an etsy store by the end of next week!

We've also had another Insurrection come and go.  This time I made a point of getting a recording of my first set of the night.  There are some small volume issues (due to what I'm hearing come through the club system being different than what was getting recorded) but I think I've fixed them fairly well and I hope that you enjoy it!

Clocks!

I've completed 2 more clocks today - very excited about the project and I have many ideas floating around in my head.  The 2 new clocks are still drying so the clock mechanism isn't shown in these pictures.

In progress.

Clocks & Poetry

I made this!  I plan on making more!  I will likely be selling them - more on that soon.

Would you drink a wine

with the terroir of

discarded shells?

Bombs.

Young

dying at the hands

of their enemy,

while 

unseen invited

slave masters

drink of their

chardonnay

mentioning

fruity nose

and not

bitter tears.

I was born a liar.

and every day I grow to be an older

better

liar.

and every time I talk

from birth screams

to “excuse me”

to “pardon me”

none of this is

any part of me

and every day I get better

at being weaker

and sadder

and less myself

and more everyone

else

because

Im a liar

and like you breathe

i say “excuse me”

“pardon me”

just so you can’t see

how far gone I am

and how little I care

You’ll see me

the way you want to see me

you’ll see me as

a shell

less myself and

more everyone else

because Im

a liar

a tired out worn

down liar

the kind that screams

inside and Im weaker

and outside

where you’re smiling

Im cutting

like Maldoror

a smile

so you forget

how much a liar

I really am

Balloons are fun.

I've turned a year older as of yesterday.

"Lighting new cigarettes,

pouring more

drinks.

It has been a beautiful

fight.

Still

is."

Charles Bukowski

Insurrection went very well - lots of new faces out on the dance floor.  Thats always a good sign and something that makes me quite hopeful for the future of the event.

Its fair to mention that I don't write down my set lists while Im playing and that this may have a few inaccuracies - This list is based off memory and the history that Traktor keeps - however, because I use a 4 track mixer its very hard to tell what order I actually played things in AND because I like to loop things and play just certain parts of songs it makes it even harder to nail down an actual list.  Next time I will likely record the live set + try to keep a physical list as I go.  ANYWAY, heres a quick set list:

Song - Artist - Album

Industrial is Dead - :10: - Industrial is Dead EP

Dresden - Ad.ver.sary - A Bright Cut Across Velvet Sky

The Sum of Us All (Rose Red Flechette Remix) - Iszoloscope - OIL Sample 2013

Control - Spoek Mathambo - Mshini Wam

HiLO - ohGr - SunnyPsyOp

Battery Drain - Prometheus Burning - nBoyde raRepi

This Machine - Faderhead - The World of Faderhead

Major Disfunction - Soman - Noistyle

Die Clubnummer - Modeselektor - Monkeytown

1st Jhāna (Dimension of Space) - Worms of the Earth

Jesus Christ Superstar (Random Logic Mix) - Laibach - Anthems

Sent to Destroy - Combichrist - Frost EP (Sent to Destroy)
