bits and pieces of brasil performance...dub macines

The new dub machine, "Rails" is well under way.  I've been using this Hurco CNC mill to do most of the fabrication.  It's an amazing piece of machinery that has really tightened up the alignment tolerances, which is sort of the focus of the new machines...that along with being lightweight.  Unfortunately this machine will not be ready for Spring Reverb this weekend (!), but for sure it will be accompanying Author & Punisher for the May 2009 tour.  I've also put together some sketches for a simple device that I might sell as a peripheral for a controller keyboard.  I think it would be very useful for live performance...more to come on that...

On February 17th join author Bruce Sterling, technology pundit Paul
Saffo, and other special guests at the Berkeley Art Museum to mourn the
loss of our long time acquaintance, the Analog Television Signal. Born
in the 01920's the signal has been an integral part of all our lives,
bringing us news of the rich, the famous, the politicians, the wars,
the Apollo landings, the thrills of victory, and the agonies of defeat.
While Analog Television has not been a good friend to us all, it has
been important to each and every one of us. Analog Television is
survived by its wife Digital Television, and its second cousin Internet
Television.


Please bring your Analog TV with antenna for display (and free
recycling by ACCRC), as we will stack as many sets as we can in
memoriam to our life long friend. At the ceremony Paul Saffo will spell
out the sordid history of the Analog TV Signal's life, the group Author
and Punisher will perform the funeral dirge, and just before the signal
winks out for the last time, author Bruce Sterling will deliver the
eulogy via pirate television broadcast supplied by Neighborhood Public
Radio.

I would like to welcome William Driskill into the lineup; an amazing musician with the flexibility in styles across drums, guitar and electronics, that will greatly enhance the live performances.  We have played together as Author & Punisher over the past several years from time to time but now will be involved in a more steady and hopefully fruitful journey. We will be touring in the late spring early summer as well as releasing the long awaited 2nd release, "Drone Machines" 11 song album. 

See you in April at Spring Reverb in San Diego!
Tristan
