At the moment of separation of the body from the brain, our ability to differentiate thought from prosthetic breaks down. Our body extends as far as our effect, far beyond our ability to see it happen. Both the threat and promise of virtualization is that its nature will have a form of dance more appropriate to us than what we now call "human."

Liquid Stranger follows his recent album release 'The Intergalactic Slapstick' with 'Steel Trap EP' a hard-hitting dubtronica release.

Deep Down Below from Liquid Stranger

Featuring remixes of album tracks Rough Road and Full Metal Jacket, the digital-only 'Steel Trap EP' continues the trajectory of Liquid Stranger's signature bass-heavy sound with 3 additional new tracks of rootsy dub specially crafted with a stepper's mindset. Impeccably mastered, each of these tracks pack a distinctive punch while dropping solid dub-wise grooves. Prepare yourself for this latest excursion into the Stranger's multiverse of low-end modulation.

Merkaba visuals performed to a live set by The Great Mundane on November 21, 2009 at Living Sundays in Chicago.

A fine night it was, we came ready to record hours of original material. These are strong 4 minute segments, suitable for online viewing. Performance visuals are a challenging form to document, as they are embedded in the vibe and momentum of the night, the chemistry between the artists and the crowd, the scale of the live projection and the mass of a big sound system. The fluidity and indefinite duration of a performance is also impossible to convey in web videos, compressed in scale and klipped out of time. But, like photographic documentation of sculpture or dance, you can hopefully get a sense of what we were up to.

I was playing SD downsamples of my 1600x800 8:3 klips, and SinR8 was digitizing the mix via a DAC into his hackintosh.

VDMX beta 7.4.5 gave off a little weirdness, when an interface window refused to update itself, but playout was unaffected. Very few gremlins for such a deep, expandable performance software, but they do like to appear at the venue for some reason.

These A/V segments are all straight, no realtime effects or audio reactive inputs, just like I used to do it in GRID.

Please welcome Kettel, the touring electronic musician and established IDM household name.

Please welcome Liquid Stranger, a sonic navigator of the uncharted terrains of music, who is always pushing the boundaries and merging genres.

While attempting to write up an accurate description of my live performances to various promoters, my booking agency and myself thought it'd be fun to simply make a demonstration video.

After converting my rehearsal room into a poor-man's film studio, I decided that I might as well use some sleek cameras and make a psuedo-music video for a song that hasn't been recorded yet. I hope you enjoy the results!
