The "Record of Memory" set recorded live in October 2007 at the Dreamland Theater has been released on chromedecay.org. Download this release and more from Chromedecay.org. Tracks from this recording and more will be on the forth coming album " Record of Memory."

about this release

dusty electronics • faded memories •layers of thoughts - this live set explores thought and memory through aural media. Like memory, the sounds and textures are sometimes clear, sometime muddy, often scattered, and always evolving.

dorkbot Detroit Signal Processing Chain

3 March 2006 • 7:30pm • Dreamland Theater • Donation
The Gaint Signal Processing Chain is coming to Ypsilanti! The idea of the signal processing chain is to have an audio source that will send an audio signal to a person with a device that can manipulate sound. That person's signal would then be passed to the next person and so on. Can we control the audio beast? Will it be just noise? How many people can we get to take part?

If you are interested in particapating please contact bubblegone@yahoo.com for parcipation information.
