DJ Panic
Experimental free improvisation performed through the medium of a vinyl LP played with a hacksaw. The resulting miniature atonal sounds are picked up, amplified and modified through electronic effects. Though atonal, the resulting sounds are strange and provocative. I have developed an extensive vocabulary and several possibilities for syntax, including rhythmic attack, drones and fast-paced chatter.Metaphorically, I consider this process to be cutting the residue of commercial death culture from the music and discovering the sound of love on these hardened grooves.
Currently performing solo; as a member of the improvising group Spaceships
Panic Orbit 36 with Special Orbit on laptop, Many Spaceships of Hat
City Intuitive on sax, and 36 on acoustic & electric drums; and in
the duo Violet Panic with Violet
on homemade instruments and electronics.
