Recorded in mid 2010, “16 Figures” is an improv trio album with Ray Evanoff and Iain Harrison. Due to the unique sound of electronics+cymbal+saxophone the improvisations have a very visceral and almost uncomfortable quality that I find really exciting.

I AM YOUR DENSITY, recorded in 2008 and released in 2010, is a composition written for a group of improvisers. It is loud. It is noisy. It is long.

The instrumentation ranges from voice, to didgeridoo; from circuit-bent drum machine, to acoustic drums, all manners of ruckus are celebrated.

Recorded in early 2009, “Drum & Bass” is a duo album with Pierre Alexandre Tremblay. It is comprised of improvisations that range from textural laptop-scapes, to grimy stutter-hop, to some smooth jazz, and many other things that I can’t pretend to come up with names for (those above are inadequate enough).

“Jew Point Owe”, recorded in 2008/2009 began as a series of folk songs, each with a compositional twist, to serve as ‘lead sheets’ to be interpreted. True to form, each one was recorded with unique instrumentation, and approached differently. The electronic half comes from laptop/DIY electronics improvisations created to counterbalance the acoustic nature of the initial songs.

Recorded in 2006, “The Beatles White Album” is the culmination of several years worth of relatively independent projects, recordings, compositions, and improvisations. Tracks range from a solo prepared piano improvisation, to a through composed guitar trio, to a plagiarized sound collage, to data file to sound noisefest, to a CD skipping rendition of a Bach Prelude.

“The Sans of Gilbert” was recorded in late 2008 and is TSC’s first release. It is a studio recording involving three improvising musicians, and one improvising artist recorded with nearly as many cameras as mics. The music is completely improvised, as are the visuals, but the two inform and affect each other.
