I once ran into William Shatner on the street in midtown Manhattan, he was looking in the window of one of those touristy electronic stores- (this was pre-Priceline comeback) I said, “William Shatner!” and put out my hand for a handshake. He hardly looked away from his window shopping and waved me off in a jewish “feh” gesture…perfect Shatner moment!
DJing a house party tonight in Greenpoint. Rolo McFury will not be stopped. He will wear the Johnny Cash shirt with the middle finger on it
Oh snap! Just settled down in the promotional office all day today, the new and amazing Black Brick in Williamsburg. Totally got down with all this new cool shit that exists for showcasing work online and put up a new track, Rolo’s Theme, that i edited a little bit in Bias Peak and then was ready to show to the general public. I had been living in such a little bubble for so long, not really letting anybody hear any of the stuff I made. Well, I guess I’m done with that…
Getting together again with Kirsten thursday to start our second new track at IGC headquarters. DJ’ing a house party this friday in Greenpoint, and listening to L’il Wayne loud all week in the Jetta…jump in
A lot of new activity at the studio. New guerilla style gear, the Korg Kaossillator Pro, Doepler Midi to CV converter for the Korg Mono/Poly, a Mushroom Lamp for very important studio ambiance, a used DIGI 002 for more audio inputs to Pro Tools and Ableton Live. This interface is great, I wish I could use more of it’s features for Ableton, but so far it’s been good as a basic audio interface plus extra 3 midi channels.
Having the added simultaneous channels going from an M Box to the 002 is making everything way more flexible. I’m able to get all of the devices in there to work and record together, synced together by midi or cv converted to midi. Mostly I’m using just ableton, which makes the 002 console feel like a waste of space, but I guess I’ll use it for pro tools sessions and it will become useful.
Having all this new flexibility has given rise to a lot of late night and all day sessions, and a new goal of an EP on vinyl within 6 months. You will definitely be seeing posts of rough versions here soon. Sounding really amazing and making life sparkly and shiny.

i made this when my goal was to make something that would sound good in a car stereo. i think i did it
