A note on the Synth Babes tag: Obviously the tag is going to mean different things to different people. The label was not meant to be sexist or derogatory by any means. If anyone interprets it that way, my apologies. I only received one complaint recently in over a year, but that one complaint is enough for me. The label will live on unless I can find something better. In my opinion people are free to interpret it however they like as long as they do so with respect to others.

Update via Brian in the comments: "
hey guys! me and a few friends were just hanging out on new years day and recorded some impromptu things...here is one of the ridiculous recordings that came out of it ...not really mixed and definitely dirty! if you like it, there is more to come!". More in the comments. On my iPhone at the moment, so I can't easily link. Actually... I can! Pretty cool:

"two more songs, nothing like the first...just some ambient noodling between a bunch of people who set out to record a short ep in one day!

YouTube via MediaArtTube | January 02, 2011 |

"Seaquence is an online social music experiment that allows users to create step-sequencer micro-compositions. Short musical patterns are represented as biology-inspired life forms which are heard as you navigate through their universe. Different sounds and timbres are visualized as unique character traits in each life-form. Users can navigate through the field of submissions, creating a unique musical and visual experience.
Seaquence is a project developed by Gray Area Foundation for the Arts, San Francisco resident artists Ryan Alexander, Gabriel Dunne and Daniel Massey.
