Folktek Time Scape and Scape Sequencer by Arius Blaze

YouTube via benpumpkin. Folktek on Ebay
"The Folktek Time Scape with the Scape Sequencer as built, played, recorded and filmed and edited by Arius Blaze. The audio is multitracked, utilizing the standalone feedback for wave generation as well as processing a small portion of a mix by Dr Auratheft called "Nomads and Monades" (highly recomended). No cutting or further computer processing was done - just 4 tracks interwoven. The video is filmed as the audio is recorded and is perhaps a bit wildstyle with the editing but they seem to work well together. More info on the Time scape, Scape Sequencer and all other Folktek works at folktek.blogspot.com, folktek.com and ariusblaze.com. A new site will be up soon, but for now - enjoy!"

I'll also sneak a plug in here for my next gig: I'll be playing as part of the Non-Event Experimental Coffeehouse series at Café Fixe in Brookline April 13th. It's a long way away, but it's been an amazing concert series and I am very, very excited to be part of it.

Peace to you,
