Coelacanth
Together as Coelacanth, Loren Chasse and I operate the tools
of an imagined science to explore the various possibilities
for sound to originate from traditionally non-musical materials.
Alchemy, as a systematic if impossible attempt to transform
base metals into noble ones, is an adequate parallel to Coelacanth’s
arena of research. We encourage sympathetic relationships between
carefully chosen materials and sounds, and push them in ways
that they might transcend their purposefulness. Copper, stone,
glass, sand, shortwave radio, rust, wind, water, and mud are
the active participants in their events and situations, providing
both metaphoric potentials and visual sensibilities for Coelacanth’s
activities. From these situations, we invoke a sound that is
an aggregate of sustained harmonics, continuously evolving sound
forms, and broad gestures of textural details, and that which
could be described as a 'broken minimalism.'

irr. app. (ext.)
In the summer of 2006, M.S. Waldron had invited me to collaborate
in his ongoing project of sonic misadventures, surreal semantic
detours, and hallucinatory absurdity. Without hesitation, I
accepted and have performed alongside Mr. Waldron and longtime
cohort R.K. Faulhaber at the Wooden Octopus festival and the
Brainwaves festival, both in 2006.
