If you are in the Oakland, CA area, here's your chance to see a Buchla Electric Music Box live. Chris Muir will be playing one with Remember the Toykillers. Note pictured here is the 200e.

"Saturday, August 2 Remember the Toykillers + Oaxacan 8pm, $6-10
The original toy killers consisted of Charles k. Noyes and Mark Miller (both on drums), featuring various cohorts like Arto Lindsay, John Zorn, Bill Laswell, Elliott Sharp, (as Mark would say, "anybody who would lower themselves to playing with us.") The band started as an improvised music duo of clattering percussion, fireworks and noise before transforming itself into a messy no wave band featuring the creme of the '80s NYC downtown scene. Tonight's homage paying ensemble, features Miller and Noyes, with Henry Kaiser (guitar), Allen Whitman (bass), Anantha R. Krishnan (mridangam), and Chris Muir (Buchla synth).

Flavorpill writes about Oakland’s Oaxacan 'Oaxacan understands that noise is a matter of texture and timbre not just plugging in your effects pedals and turning all the amps to ten. Like kindred experimentalists Double Leopards or Climax Golden Twins, Oaxacan prefer night swimming in murky, inky pools of gauzy per cussion and reverb-drenched vocal abstraction.'"

if you have the bandwidth and are a vimeo user when you log in you can download the original video file from the bottom of the page for a better qual vid.

attached is the pic of the set up for this track, its my current live set up that i've been testing - modular & mic into xstation- xstation via usb into Ableton- some effects on them plus an instance of absynth all out via xstation into amp/pa/mixer then visuals are evolution xsession (wots with all the x's?) controlling quartz composer.

on another note i have just finished a dvd compiling the first four abre ojos a/v tracks, if any of your readers want a copy i'm happy to trade for their own music CD/DVD or it can be purchased for $15USD via paypal posted anywhere. it also includes the tracks as mp3's for transfer to their non video device... they can email via the website if they are interested"
