Brand new Dub Machines device: Headgear. It’s an eight channel microphone made from stainless steel and anodized aluminum. There are eight electret condenser mics that can be used as eight separate vocal inputs and also as analog control inputs for use in ableton, Pd, max, etc.

Finally posting some fabrication and finished shots of my new device intended for dub and bass sounds.

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.

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!

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.
