The calm and precision of a Vermeer wedded to a David Lynch view of suburban normality. You can almost hear the white noise hiss and imagine the severed ear lying in a field outside the house.
Disorientation, surrealism: why is a sink in the foyer?
The great Duncan Hannah also comes to mind, mood-wise.
But it's just some disposable digital catalog imagery.
Finding is the new making.

One website calls these "architectures of control in design." No sitting, no leaning, no resting, no skating, no enjoyment, pain, pain, hurt, sadomasochism, move along, you animal. That is the world we now live in, courtesy our fine owners of property.
"Software Caddy" [mp3 removed -- a newer version is available on Bandcamp]
A slab of techno-primitivism (more than usual). All done in Reaktor - two sequences, some muting/unmuting of tracks. The variations are programmed into the presets (which I "tuned" to get this group of six percussion instruments) - don't know if there's any randomization or if it's LFOs sweeping various parameters - should re-read the manual.
A fave band, Neg-Fi, has a web page where you can stream and/or buy their tunes. Check it out.
What I wrote in '05 still adheres for the '10s:
In the '50s, a time of postwar optimism and faith in science, there was Hi-Fi. In the '90s, an era of slackers and diminished expectations, there was Lo-Fi. In the '00s, a time of neanderthal government and outright contempt for the arts, there is Neg-Fi.
