Live performance on WSLR Lumpytunes! definitely difficult listening

On July 17th, 2018 Jen Sandwich and myself met with Rob Demperio at WSLR in Sarasota, FL for an episode of Lumpytunes: Definitely Difficult Listening.  I was armed with a half broken Realistic MG-1 synthesizer by Moog Music, my moogerfooger MF-104 analog delay (one of the first 1000 that Bob Moog produced during the Big Briar days circa 2000), microcassette recordings made during a massive drum circle circa 2009, a Steim Cracklebox (which was a birthday gift from Hal McGee in 2007) and a bag of random percussive trinkets. 

Listening back to the show on the archive, just after the song "Piss On My Tiny Hands" by Billy & The Women (at 28:00), I think the soundcheck of my mic and MG-1 was broadcast (perhaps unintentionally).  At 39:30 Rob introduces me as DJ Shatter Wax and I enjoy a spacey improvisation (starting at 40:20 through 48:16).

​I gave Rob a copy of the debut album from Circuit Circuit (myself and DJ Wizard Wand -John Lackey)  and Rob was kind enough to include "Egyptian Raga" on Lumpytunes.  We recently made a music video for "Egyptian Raga" with video artist Aaron O'Laughlin where I got to wear a green screen suit and climb around on dead trees on the beach at Talbot Island in Northern Florida.

At 1:06:45 on the July 17th Lumpytunes show Rob starts talking about and playing tracks from The Electronic Cottage Compilation 004! (Tracks by Ditlev Buster, Frank, {AN} EeL​, Thomas Park, Lord Litter, Phillip Klampe, Dylan Houser, osvaldo cibils, Jen Sandwich, & Shatter Wax were featured on WSLR on 7/17/2018)

At 1:34:00 Rob talks to Jen Sandwich about her track "False Memories" from Electronic Cottage Compilation 004 where she reveals her piece started as a spoken word piece that did not work out. Her instrumental track involves software synths and 1960s sound effects records.

​Rob asked me to do a second live improvisation on the air which was unexpected yet proved to be a cathartic blast. It is a rare opportunity to get to do odd aural things live in front of anyone much less live on the radio.  The second improvisation (involving my bag of noise making novelties) begins around 1:37:00 and ends at 1:42:30.  It was an honor and a pleasure to perform live, represent Electronic Cottage, and be a part of an eclectic mix of music with such a friendly and exploratory host.  Thank you Rob Demperio.
