It’s been a few days short of a month since we landed in LA, ensconced in my favorite neighborhood, the Los Feliz hills near Griffith Park. Much has happened and managed to run through my fingertips & into Logic, though I have been more & more quiet on the blogging front…apologies as usual!

I am currently working on a short electronic symphony for PRS and Sensoria in the UK – drawing odd bits of inspiration is quite easy in this city!

Born of an short story idea that Maf had, it is the story of a man that falls in love with his own creation: a small black box that houses a female A.I. Of course, he created this “monster” to soothe his loneliness and provide companionship. The fun part is, I, in collaboration with a few proper mad scientists, will be creating this AI box to be used live. It will actually be a yet – to – be – determined voice effects processor and I get to voice the part of the wicked AI mistress. We will be touring this show next year in the UK as well as a few shows in LA. I am writing the bare bones of it using much digital love from Native Instruments, Universal Audio, Izotope, a Rode Podcaster mic (very smooth & lovely, I must say) and my trusty MPK Mini. Though I am very much out of my studio elements, and I am doing my best to make the most of “limitations”.

I have my head buried in everything from Demon Seed (I know…say what you will. I liked it!) to 2001: A Space Odyssey to Moon – if you have any suggestions as to books or movies that involve robots or artificial intelligence that becomes sentient and sinister, let me know.

I promise to rear my head again soon with more details!
