'a typical musicians nest of thoughts' - d. van vliet
RAO is a loose collective functioning under the benevolent digits of Bassomatic (a/k/a Conor Dowling). We're thrilled to announce the release of our 1st CD, the eponymously-titled Random Access Orkestra.
Core constituents: Basso - bass, beats, synths, loops, guitar primitif, sounds. Rotating flight crew: robocoptick (a/k/a Matte Henderson) - guitar extraordinaire, on 'Bwaah', 'Shattered Voices', and 2nd section of 'Mudge Way Dub', (supplemental beat programming brilliance on 'Bwaah', as well) . Doug Raneri - drums, percussion. eric payne - guitar. dave keating - looped drumkit (on erin gazal), dBrown - synths, weirdnesses.
You know something weird. I signed up for a second Facebook account, because I'm tired of dealing with a lot of drama on my first account and wanna inconspicuously avoid some people. Anyway, I hadn't added any friends but got a bunch of suggestions, including you! haha.
