"Details:
"antithesizer -6.11 circuit bent by spunky toofers. .. finished in many thin layers of white and black paint to form a durable finish and sheen. coloured in my classic antithesizer style.. sound files of current sk-1 model can be found under live at francisco house, light of god, nebulagirl and autonomous sk-1 composition at sk-1 samples at soundclick and samples at myspace the tracks called music of the spheres, happy sadcore feature only the live single track sounds of my circuit bent sk-1. search for spunky toofers for videos on youtube.com ... circuit bent sk-1 .. . a patchbay has been install in lieu of the speaker. this provides for endless possibilities for new sounds and experimentation. however for the performer in mind i have installed switches which are very stable and is a very nice alchemist's blend which interplays with one another quite well. 18 switches, one soft reset button, one super bright white LED and vintage pilot lens, two body contacts, one pitch dial. .. it is important to know how this instrument works as far as sequencing, recording, sample looping, and normal playing modes. i have bent the instrument in the best way possible to effect all modes of instrument as they can vary drastically in results. i wanted to redesign the control interface and switches to produce a good solid range of options that effect all sound banks without many lock ups and very consistent bends that will solidly perform live. i also wanted to have self composition to be a strong element to this machine as i have found it to be an excellent way to set an instrument to be layered and mixed in live situations. the arrays of switches have been grouped into different categories depending on row and situation of switches. these group banks include : filter banks, repeat echo banks, odd synthesis bank, ambient drones, a switch for auto melody composition.. and a tactile bank of switches for removing all four levels of polyphony. as in SATB it will remove the bass, tenor and alto and soprano harmonies..this comes in handy when you want to extract voices to create subtle compositions which removes bass lines, higher voices etc on the fly...also this is very helpful when the lofi loveliness gets too thick to discern what is going on and when pitches become muddied by low frequencies. there is also a switch for removing drum sounds completely.. afforementioned switches are are located on far right of instrument.. there is two body contacts that act as a pressure sensitive distortion effect on any sound at hand.. also available is a knob which will control pitch by one octave and a half.. or 19 half steps in all.. very very useful.. questionable bends have been fine tuned with capacitors and resistors to make sure that bends are much more stable.. i have made many of these over the years and have been fine tuning each model to date. this ensures you are getting the best instrument possible...with switches this takes the guess work out for you and avoids the redundant bends.. i picked bends that were flexible across all sound banks (they will completely change for each sound bank, just the nature of this instrument when bent). i implemented the bends in a manner that would effect other switches in new ways! a very tactile instrument whether for studio or stage.. ... comes with vintage blue glass lens and aluminum rimmed pilot lens with bright white LED light power indicator mounted underneath..has a soft reset button that works like a charm!""

Blessing of the Bikes
"What I really wanted was holy water on the bikes, but I didn't know if that was offensive or not," said Glen Goldstein, founder of Manhattan's annual "Blessing of the Bikes." The priest at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in Manhattan had no problem obliging. Now in its 10th year, the spring event drew nearly 400 people, from bike messengers to daily commuters to casual riders. This year, for the first time, the names of 2007's fallen cyclists were read aloud. "It's a day to celebrate the beginning of the riding season, and to remember those we've lost," Goldstein said.

GET ACTIVE



i've begun working with the midwest workers association, a wonderful non profit in chicago, dedicated to providing help to those who make sub survival or inadequate income. our goals are to make fair wages and jobs a standard, achieve a universal health care system, and improve the overall quality of life for everyone, starting with the lowest class. sounds crazy to me too. but i'm learning a lot about how to organize, and motivate people. we also talk about various forms of civil disobedience, like sitdown strikes, and how they help or hurt various causes. its a great organization with great people running it. hopefully, i'll help them get a website going sooner than later.

ps. if any graphic designers want to donate some time to helping build a website, hit me up.
