Over 11 hours of live DSP
This collection of nineteen live board recordings spans 2022 to 2025, beginning with my first performance after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus (see: global pandemic) and concluding with my most recent set in Portland (Sept. ’25) in support of Trip Computer.
Although I have long believed in the ephemerality of performance—and that certain experiences should simply fade into the passing of time—I feel that Boards 22_25 should be released from the hard drive and allowed to see the light of day. The only criticism I received regarding my recent release of Trip Computer was that it was too short; this release should solve that concern =)
Boards 22_25 traces a narrative arc: from the emotionally charged return to the stage in March 2022 (Algorithmic Art Assembly, SF) — an event that had originally been scheduled for March 2020 and effectively suspended for nearly three years—to the moment of rediscovering what it felt like to perform live again. I remember the first five minutes as a tense, white-knuckle experience, followed by a wave of emotion that felt like the return of an old friend.
These nineteen live sets document a trajectory—an evolving sound and performance practice in real time—ultimately pointing toward (though I did not recognize it then) the development of my recent LP, Trip Computer.
The attentive listener will discover a world of sonic complexity: early iterations of tracks such as p90 mutex lock appear as far back as 031222_San_Francisco, while the first live versions of syntax anomaly can be heard in 062224_Tokyo. Careful listeners may even notice sonic elements that are likely to emerge in future releases.
There is much to uncover here—both familiar and newly formed.
