Joys of Camping
I carry with me when performing a suitcase full of objects that I see or hear as an extension of my drum kit. I reach for these objects when I feel the need to extend the sonic boundaries and techniques of the traditional kit.
Magnetic Matter
In my music making, I’m mostly working with analogue media: tape recorders and reel-to-reel tape machines and recently in addition sculptural antennas.
Innocent Pipe
I have a battered piece of metal pipe, about the length of my forearm, which has become a surprisingly regular feature in my music and live shows.
I Should Have Given It a Name
I recently lost my favorite preparation. It was a metal rod, about three feet long. It was hollow, with a 3 cm perimeter. I thought it was alumi- num, but on trying to replace it, I realized morosely that it wasn’t.
Object Attachment
When I was a kid strolling around our small farm, I always had a strong affection for found objects. Small stones, pieces of driftwood from a small riverbank, special shaped or colored leaves from trees.
