Capsule

909, 808, microwave, and distortion: my standard lineup. This is probably the best example of that style of perkowitz music.

Climate

This started with just fooling around with an old Univox drum machine, but ended up being an improv track that I really like.

Dragon

A slowly-changing old-school jam: 303, 808, 909, 727, and a key loop from a Hammond Auto-Vari 64.

Elusive

An old-timey number, featuring several layers of 303 with some 808 and 909.

Faster, Android! Kill! Kill!

Flex

Ghost

Invaders

Straight-up techno with some video-game-ish sounds.

A remix of the classic Cajmere track from 1992. This should be my theme song.

Knob Boffin

Recorded with Rob Williams, basically a 909 and a MAQ controlling a microwave.

Kyra

Classic techno lineup of 909, microwave, vortex, and overdrive.

Machine Men

Maglev

Megatron Wants To Funk

Inspired by Patrick Cowley’s “Right on Target” and its use of the cowbell. Should have a vocal part other than the robotish vocal sound, but I never wrote or recorded one.

Micro8

An 808 and a nord micromodular.

Mutiny

Another minimal old-fashioned track: 909 and 303s and not much else.

Needs Debugging

Night Fires

The lyrics were inspired by an especially poetic spam email, and I’m not quite sure what it became.

Nothing

A techno-ized cover of the Depeche Mode song.

Parataxis (Edit)

This is one of a series of tracks I did in 1997 where I just recorded a minimal techno thing for a very long time and figured I’d edit it later. Without the pressure to get the song structure right on the first pass, I was more relaxed and did some decent evolving minimal techno tracks.

Pinpoint

Pragma

Red Light

Rhythm Ace 080426

Rotator

RSRCH01

Seventies

A technoed-up version of Yaz’s “Goodbye Seventies”.

Sky

Somec

One of my first recordings with a new vocoder.

System Restore (Raw)

A long jam on 909, 808, 727, rx5, 303, x0xb0x, ea1, and some fx. It’s nice to completely cut loose from the computer sometimes. This could probably use an edit down to 6-8 minutes but here it is in raw epic form.

Tailsmoke (Edit)

Technology

Recorded with Peter Schenk. One of the few recordings I ever got to do with Peter’s Xpander. Though I spent most of the time tweaking the filtery feedback delay patch on the Q2.
