Robotboot "Polyphonic Ooze" | Audio Visual Ambient Meditation
"Polyphonic Ooze" is a meditation on togetherness and thought of somewhat like how a guitar works having strings that are all in a separate space but work together polyphonically and when in sync the strings vibrate and become almost intoned together while still keeping there own frequency.
Pondering Parallel | Mink Lake @Olympic National Park | Audio Visual Ambient Meditation 4K
This is a meditation thinking of original thoughts and thinking and how of then as you grow you have a parallel thought that you would of ben totally agents when you first started this thinking and hadn't had the time and or experience to change. This video a video I shot @Olympic National Park Mink Lake, a field recording at a location that I cannot remember where, and a live modular audio performance(a friend Validine Chronus herd and saw an early version and decided to send over a simple yet fitting synth part so I added it and it worked wonderful and fell into the working in parallel theme). Video shot on September 26, 2018 in Washington at Mink Lake Olympic National Park.
Robotboot "Soundness" | Audio Visual Ambient Meditation
I have been thinking a lot about how sound things are for both the self, the people around, and the place we are, all focusing more and more outward especially with all thats going on and seeing peoples actions of not thinking of anyone but themselves and disregarding the community, old, young, unfortunate, animals, public spaces, and our whole existence. Ultimately coming back to how sound everything is when its all a relationship held together by fragments, happy accidents, and marvelous wonders. While all this things are great it's not that sound and not that lasting and easy lost with the thinking that its uncomfortable to put thinking that puts others and places infant of your own comfortability.
2020.01.01 Audio Visual Ambient Meditation
This is a meditation with thoughts and feeling of embracing the special time spent with one and or ones we love to love and the sensual pleasures we can achieve when we are all functioning asymmetrically and the time we spend when our asymmetrical timing meet to create beauty, symmetry, love, desire, sadness, lust, euphoria, comfort, relaxation, and other comma etc with the one or ones or self we chose to be our other and or others and or self and how we choose to experience and worship this coveted time. For the time being I am going to refrain from talking about the audio slash video creation as it leads into me needing to document more and even do some talking on camera showing the audio visual modular that I have built that I'm using and also don't want to show it till its done as it has been a monstrous investment and needs its own light shinned on it.
Other Form Audio Visual Ambient Meditation
I have found great enjoyment making music and visuals together as a form of meditation for myself…especially since I have put little to no focus on using percussion in songs so I hope that you could enjoy this also. Its kind of like running a program for your brain that will make you feel more relaxed after you visually downloaded it into your psyche.
Thanks have a great day.
Audio made with norns zelleen recording different sequences strait to the tape then loaded up and jumbled around in mlr while being recorded into ableton for clean up and a little editing.
Video was made from a longer late night session with my modular video synth with endogenous tones structure being the star of the show wile being fed other modulates.

Get Strange Records 004 - Slow Lane by kires
This is a music video I created by for kires for his song Slow Lane released on Get Strange Records. This video relies greatly on generative video and feedback process to create a pallet of psychedelic goo with 6 live takes re melded into each other time after time and rescanned of of a CRTV for textures and colors that could not be captured otherwise.
The London-based producer known as Kires employs ethereal live recording methods with modular synthesizers to create minimal techno with a relaxed and organic feel all their own.

Get Strange Records 003 - Glory Beauty Supply by SiP
This is a music video I created by for SiP for his song Glory Beauty Supply released on Get Strange Records based out of Chicago. The video was created with one live take consisting of video i shot in Washington State, video synthesis, video feedback, running audio into the single, and animating this all live by wiggling: nobs, sliders, and T bars.
SiP is the working name for musician/producer Jimmy Lacy out of Chicago, USA. SiP's sequencing and music-making highlight the imperfection and earth-bound quality of pieces of hardware and synthesis designed to give otherwise perfect patterns and tones. Anachronistically the electronics create a space more from a folk music background, with folk as music with tradition and with meaning for a community of people. SiP's music looks to create moments of communal space and contemplation as well as participate and contribute to the rich musical community of Chicago.
Glory Beauty Supply by SiP is Get Strange Records third release. Part of the Get Strange Records visual music collection. Please experience the visual music video first for best experience.
Featuring: Gabriel Perez Diaz - Guitar, Carlos Chavarria - Saxophone

Get Strange Records 002 - Augural by Benjamin Mauch
This is a music video I created by for Benjamin Mauch for his song Augural releases on Get Strange Records based out of Chicago. The video was created with one live take consisting of video synthesis, video feedback, running audio into the single, and animating this all live by wiggling: nobs, sliders, and T bars.
“I wanted this piece to be a dramatic rendering of taking flight as a bird and examining my surroundings in whatever cognitive capacity a bird is able to. I have always been fascinated by birds and their unique ability to escape the earth for a time and live among the clouds. An augur was a type of Roman prophet who would be able to examine birds and their flight patterns in order to interpret the will of the gods. I imagined myself as a bird and becoming part of this augural process, not knowing what would be foretold by the prophet, but feeling some innate sense of pleasure knowing that I was a part of something more important than just myself. The track builds slightly in the beginning but rests in the mood that is created, much like a bird would when riding thermals across the sky.” Benjamin Mauch
Benjamin Mauch is a musician and teacher from Richmond, VA. He uses modular synthesizer and tape loops to create slow moving and emotive soundscapes.
Augural by Benjamin Mauch is Get Strange Records second release. Part of the Get Strange Records visual music collection. Please experience the visual music video first for best experience.

Rory Khan Mohon “Monochromatic”
This is a music video I created by for Rory Khan Mohon for his song Monochromatic. The visuals for this video where created by using a single photo that April Staso took of Rory. I took the photo and made some new compositions out of it and fed it to my video feedback system. I was happy to listen to this song over and over while each time it sounded a bit better. I think this came out delightfully weird.

Pose by naomi smalls
I produced some visual effects for “Pose” the new music video by Naomi Smalls. I was blown away on how this video looked before before I had a chance to work on it. The video was directed by Todd Diederich who also is the creator of Smalls World(Naomi’s YouTub series) that is also great and a great glimpse into the life of Naomi. The song is head bobbin vibe that you can blast in your cover while cutting threw the fog at night.
PAQ "AIRMALTA" music video by Robotboot
PAQ "AIRMALTA"
PAQ(based out of Rimini, Italy) asked me to make a music video featuring found footage based on the idea of taking a trip to his song Airmalta. We chatted and came up with the idea based on found footage from the 70’s of commercial airline promotional footage and footage generated to look like a sunset over the ocean. The music is very chill and meditative wile keeping a good head nodding vibe to keep you entertained.

Liquid Light Lab x Robotboot - Live Liquid Light Show
Liquid Light Lab
Liquid Light Lab created a liquid light show live via a livestream to some of my more abstract minimal tracks.
Liquid light shows
Liquid light shows (or psychedelic light shows) are a form of light art that surfaced in the early 1960s as accompaniment to electronic music and avant-garde theatre performances. They were later adapted for performances of rock or psychedelic music.
:)
I could not be more happy as a musician having my music selected to carry on the tradition of liquid light shows in its new place of old technologies bonded with new technologies. It is very fascinating and mirrors the music so well. It is very meditative and relaxing and not in your face crazy…gives you that time to lit your brain turn of and do its own thing. Liquid Light Lab has an expressive set up that you can see in the recorded livestream.
The weekend was lit. Tomorrow is Monday. Wind down and chillax before doing it all again. Live experimental video performance, streamed right to you. Featuring the music of Robotboot.

The New York City Breakers.
A special time in the world where breakdancing was televised, people where not starring at there phones, no one had earbuds, VCRs where the only way to rewatch something, records where the norm, and everything was about being awesome. Do your stretches, touch your toes, turn your speakers up as load as that go, and press play on this video.
