Just a video of me making a tune with my Empress SuperDelay on Caturday. lmao! Hope you enjoys!
this video is obviously influenced by icanhascheezburger.com. They took mai bucket!
(no affiliations with Empress! just havin some cheezburgers.)
check out me using SourceAudio’s HotHands MIDI_EXP in this video of me playing my song “Dangerous” from my Vigilante album. This is from my show in Ithaca back in June that someone was kind enough to upload to tube.
MIDI_EXP is a wireless hand held midi controller. check it out: Hot Hands MIDI_EXP <= right there. more to come on this and how i’m (ab)using this soon…
Through MassiveMusic I got the chance to create the Sound Design and opening music for the wonderfully talented Brooklyn artists Tom Kane. Make sure to check out his sick dance moves too…
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

Recessioned is a lifestyle magazine for the recession.
Recessioned is the place for practical advice on how to do things on the cheap.
Recessioned is the place you go to after you’ve received an email saying that this is possibly the worst time to be looking for a job.
Recessioned is the place you go to when it’s 1am and you’ve made the mistake of checking your bank balance and can’t fall back asleep.
Recessioned is a community for you and me and everyone else not covered by the bailout.
