for those who haven’t heard- Matt Moldover has long been known, especially inside the electronic music world, as one of the most creative controllerism gurus around. His past hardware creations have impressed, and his newest is actually available to the public, satiating the desires of musical control freaks everywhere.

At present, in addition to touring and producing, Moldover is overseeing the release of his first commercially available controller. Assimilating ideas from traditional instruments, DJ hardware, and game controllers, the Mojo combines ergonomic elegance, rapid-fire tactile responsiveness, and bullet-proof construction… definitely worth checking out. you gotta see this freaking thing in person- crazy.

some scientific data and information:
David Spelman was kind enough to lend his guitar to mangling on “Nexter”.
Eric Perlmutter was gracious enough to lend his bass, guitar and drum performance to vivisection on “toybeets”.
David Torn was generous enough to lend his necklace of ears to mastering.
Scott Baker was compassionate enough to dissect album art.

AND a Bonus Track “FuckingVampireZombiePoachie” which was originally released on the “Welcome To World 2″ Compilation from www.GameMusic4all.com.

At some point in the Ithaca Times interview I mention the lovely and talented Mr. Rob Spence from the Eyeborg Project.

Rob is a photographer who lost an eye and is working with engineer Kosta Grammatis to replace the eye with a camera. It isn’t “wet-wired” but it’s really, really badass and he has been on pretty much every talk show and news program in the past six months.

I did a remix of the Canadian Rock band Chilliwack hit from 1982 for the Eyeborg Phase II video and you bet you can check it out in this post or on Eyeborgproject.com. Love the terminator red LED eye! How’s that for technology?

much digital love,

Eliajh Bet Thorne
