Sounds Like
Beats and sounds recorded with seismic equipment, transmitted over restricted government frequencies and intercepted by an anarchist listening station in the Appalachian foothills. Like a small child who was given a Serge Modular for Christmas.
tay0 is a name I've used some variant of since 1986 as a conduit for my bedroom studio experiments while I played "real" music in a number of bands. I've done a few remix projects, some production for other artists, and some TV / film work. For the past several years I've been collaborating with other like-minded folks like weaklazyliar, drummer Mitch Sosebee and, recently, steelmaster Stacy Cargal. I also play keyboards and guitar with Atlanta artists Lindsay Rakers and Blair Lott.
