No-Input vs. We <3 Katamari
(aka Damian does Damacy)
Varsity Theater (DNKYtown)
Friday January 20th 5-8pm (Happy Hour)

Fans of noise, ambience, mindbending, and video games rejoice!

No-Input will be providing and reshaping the sound experience of Katamari Damacy using various stomp box/effect processor/input damaging tools. Using a 2 tiered custom pedal board, fed-back into itself and then cut loose on the Varsity Theater, this re-imagining of the soundtrack for one of the most innovative games to come out in the last 2 years promises to add chaos to what is already a psychedelic hallucinogenic experience on the big screen.

Come get your game on, and let the sonic mayhem ensue!
Let's play!

No-Input is Damian Kastbauer; 1/3 of Improv/Noise/Pop groop Lost Chocolate Lab, and

Walking (In a Winter Wonderland)

Tis the season around here, and with a fresh foot of snow I headed out into the tundra to gather snow related samples for the library, here's a bit of what I cooked up:

I started off with some fresh snow footsteps
.

Then Moved into some grass & snow footsteps.


As well as some moonwalking in the snow.


With the standards out of the way, I really wanted to try for some good snow impacts, so I dug out an old boat anchor and proceded with the thumping and cooked up a really fine impact in the snow.



I shook the tall grass a bit, for good measure.


And, just to make sure anyone watching on as I labored away in the cold got a good show, I decided to swing some giant sticks around to get a few good swooshes a bit, for good measure.


A very healthy session, that has left me with some good creative bit's to apply!

Good luck to you, on your sound expeditions in the New Year!

Now that the whole birth thing is behind us and our family is back on track with the (ab)normal daily challenges, I thought I would get back on track with a little gear photography showing off some of my ghetto rig...hopefully I can get some pic's of Jeremy's exellent setup soon!
