   About offthesky
random live tracks and such:

Since Jason Corder decided that becoming a weather man was farcely over-rated, he coined the ambiguously fitted moniker "offthesky" which was in reality birthed in transit of his experimenting with converting chaos theories (especially those relating to weather systems*) into musical forms. And really its just an apropos title summating this atmospheric and acoustic communal project emanating from his studio in Kentucky ergo USA. Sounds pretentious I know, but offthesky is truly a humble handle that reflects both Jason's mild manered nature and his "in-the-clouds" mind-set when relating to others. His musical miasmatic manifestations are loosely inspired by chaos theory mathematics, dark foreboding jazz, and various natural susbstances...

" .. to be interested (in Satie)
one must be disinterested to begin with,
accept that a sound is a sound
and a man is a man,
give up illusions about ideas of order,
expressions of sentiment, and all the rest
of our inherited aesthetic claptrap .. "

Cool man. But I hear..op​lasmi​c worm holes​ are hard to progr​am in max/​msp.​.​.​ The infoV​ortex​ usual​ly choke​s,​ becau​se due to the huge amoun​t of 4d senso​ry data,​ there​'​s a bottl​eneck​ at the proce​ssor level​.​ I recom​mend codin​g wormh​oles in C++.

This is a gathering of Lovers.

In this gathering
there is no high, no low,
no smart, no ignorant,
no special assembly,
no grand discourse,
no proper schooling required.

There is no master,
no disciple.

This gathering is more
like a drunken party,
full of tricksters, fools,
mad men and mad women.

This is a gathering of Lovers.

Ohhh now we're "friends"! I'm monetarily challenged, I don't think Colorado is in the cards for me... though if you go for Matmos, videotape it secretly and give me the only copy.
