Fabrication Images for new machine

IMG_3192 IMG_3191 IMG_3190 IMG_3189 IMG_3188 IMG_3186 IMG_3185 IMG_3184 IMG_3182 IMG_3178 IMG_3177 IMG_3176 IMG_3175

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…

Here’s a 30 minute video the folks at FORA put together on the Funeral for Analog TV, that Author & Punisher played the Funeral “Dirge” at on February 17th, 2009.

Author & Punisher to appear/perform at Maker Faire with devices (5/30-5/31)

I will be doing a machine demo and performance(s) at this year’s Maker Faire in San Mateo.  It’s put on by the same people who put out Make Magazine. Author & Punisher will be doing at least 1 show in the Bay Area that weekend in Oakland and hopefully Sacramento.

Coincidentally, they are owned by O’reilly, who makes these educational books…my old band Falkirk used one of their covers for Linux: Device drivers as our album cover…kind of geeky I guess, but it was pretty metal!

Dub Machines beginning to surface…

Rails (Dub.Machine.01)

Newest rhythm device in the works.  CNC fabrication is nearly complete, but waiting on the lead screws and delrin nuts. Hopefully this one will be ready for the next tour.
