"Bass Twelve" [mp3 removed]
A pretty straight up house tune, using the Mutator filter on the bass line that runs through the whole thing. Or maybe it's eccentric as heck and only sounds straight up to me. I'm a sucker for pad sounds like this--it's what I always listened for when scouting out DJ-ing vinyl.
"Wonky Wank" [mp3 removed]
More of that damn filter-tremoloed "wobble bass." This is psychedelic and I think pretty fun. Your basic bass attack.
Update: revised by adding a prog blues synth line to perk up the middle section.
"Slow GoBox" [mp3 removed]
Rework of "GoBox Rompbox" - added a more prominent bassline and a second rendition of the main melody that precedes, follows, and plays in unison with the original. Also made it longer and opened it up so some of the percussive bits could be better heard. 80 bpm and proud.
Many thanks to KB for showing my artwork to his class on Painting and the Computer. Also for playing them some of my tunes and relating the two bodies of work! This made me very happy.

The artists are working, along with others around the world, on their contributions to the show, which went "live" on the Net at the end of the performance. Some friends attended and said it was "boring." Well, yes.
Contrast an art event from the late '60s--hippies sitting around in a loft with Allan Kaprow watching ice melt, say--with these efficient worker bees tapping on laptop keyboards. The art world will not easily relinquish the artist as shaman, doing wacky things with paint and household garbage, in the nude, to give purpose to the lives of cubicle drones and gated community residents who live by a stricter code. Or something.
