So this profile is for presenting/announcing/fronting all the music outside of my main band, The Atomic Bomb Audition. Right now, I'm recording an album of sci-fi ballads that I've created, including a rough mix of the song "Microsleeps" that you can find on the player above. This collection of songs was originally performed as Sci-Fi Song Cycle at the Meridian Gallery in January 2009 with Agnes Szelag on cello/vox and Marielle Jakobsons on violin/vox. I'm very excited about sharing this music with everyone and I will plan something special for its release.
I also play guitar/vox/tweaked sounds for Holly Caust (w/ The Norman Conquest on electronics/vox/etc.) We are about to record a 3-hour full-length tentatively titled, Buried in Sand, Drowned in Sky. Samples above, inquire here for booking, kudos, and all else.
Above you'll find samples of my solo work and compositions. I compose for chamber ensembles of various instrumentations for films that do and do not exist. If you are need of a composing collaborator, feel free to contact me here or email alee[at]tentacle[dot]net
Lastly, here's some footage of me playing bass with Damo Suzuki of CAN. Also with members of Grey Daturas and Oaxacan. This is about 1/20th of our set...
