Jason Derr has been playing with sound since middle school. Early attempts at spoken word/punk/hip hop recorded on an old 4-track and a beat up karaoke machine have given way to this latest expierement, Taped Deck Orchestra.
Using a digital tape recorder, found sounds and a computer TDO creates expieremental soundscapes, miminilist sounds and other forms of wonderment.
Going to have to go with "Lovers Embrace" as my favorite. If you release an album, I'm all over it. This is the kind of stuff that fits when I'm writing some times and I want evocative music, but can't listen to anything with words and Vivaldi just can't be played for the 400 time.
By the way, do yourself a favor. Go to the Ben Folds page on myspace and listen to "Bitches Aint Shit".
