We have taken some videos of Computo in his bunker, practicing and preparing with this setup, and he has produced a short live clip, as an example of where he is taking this new sound.

3.28.06 b- Just added to this Friday's Hootenany at Hangar 1018, Northern California electronic slamdancer, Her Space Holiday. Keep your pants on kids.
3.28.06- For the pure sake of numbing your minds, here's a repost of Computo's first version of his online TR-909. Now you can jam out like Trent Reznor, right there are work. If you're still using it 2 hours from now, then you should really just buy my album.
3.23.06 b- One more thing. Computo is curating the outside area at Hangar 1018 on March 31st in downtown LA. The party is being thrown by Little Radio blogzine. The outdoor lineup has yet to be announced, but the indoor area will feature Spindrift (with members of Brian Jonestown Massacre) and Crash Berlin. The outdoor acts will be posted in the next day or two.
3.23.06- Nothing to say, but WOW. SXSW XX was easily, one of the best times in recorded history. Simple fact is, the Month of Gluttony (its actually 3 months) got off to a spectacular start. And it was all thanks to the illustrious Jeremy deVine, of Temporary Residence Limited. Ate enough mexican food to feed a small peruvian village... and St Patricks Day invited all types of fun. Computo performed his live remix of Neil Young's "Southern Man" at the Berklee Showcase, then moved on to perform with Caroline at the TRL showcase. To be frank, Jeremy has created one of the most amazing families of musicians in the world, and being a part of that was utterly inspiring. Temporary Residence is an oasis in the abyss of bullshit that is the music industry. And a successful one, at that. Next time YOU go on a trip, and end up staying in a house with one of the biggest rock bands of today (Explosions in the Sky), you'll know what I mean. God. What a whirlwind adventure. The blog will go into deep detail as to the beauty of this endeavor...stay tuned.
3.14.06- Last night in LA before SXSW, getting ready for some righteous fun. Lots of free drinks, cheap food and ladies galore, Austin has been cracked up to be some hot times. We'll bring you blogs, vlogs, plogs and more, in between the craziness and music. Info and recordings will be available on a day to day basis, and if you're in Austin, find me for a free DVD, with exclusive content. See you in the streets!
3.4.06- Dont know if YOU noticed, but the Berklee showcase is going to have FREE BEER for everyone over 21!!! Thats right, folks, if you didnt have an excuse to take the bus to Austin already, you do now. You'll be drinking on the tab of one of the wealthiest schools in the nation; at least now I know what that huge endowment is going to. Nevertheless, SXSW is gonna be nuts, and we all know how FREE BEER helps. And NO! this isn't a scam to pull you poor people in the door, a la Phish, there will really be FREE BEER. Did I forget to mention, FREE BEER?
3.1.06- Computo is counting down the days to the SXSW Festival and Conference. With only 17 days until the Berklee College of Music showcase, Computo has discovered the flyer and artist list for the event. And once again, Computo and the Slip will share a stage. As far back as the summer of 2000, Computo was performing on the same stage as this groundbreaking Avant-Jazz trio, most recently at the 2002 Creekside Jamboree, smack in the center of PA. There are some rare images of the event in the photos section, including one of our tour manager locking the keys in the car! In case you hadnt noticed, The Retard Circus has announced the dates for the month of Gluttony (yes, it's really 3 months but when you're that much of a glutton...). We're moving the month up by 2 weeks, to accommodate SXSW, so get belligerent!
2.17.06- Computo has just been confirmed for the Berklee College of Music showcase at the 2006 SXSW Festival and Conference. The showcase will be on March 17th, from 3-430 pm, at "Friends", an Austin venue located at 208 E. 6th St, Austin, TX. Computo is honored to be included in this Neil Young tribute concert, presented by his alma mater. Later that same night, Computo will be performing with Caroline Lufkin, at the Temporary Residence label showcase, at The Whiskey Bar. More info is coming down the pipes about these gigs, but they are both going to be smashing. Low ceiling people, watch your heads.

A corresponding live recording has become a consideration also, as no live recordings have been posted in almost 6 months. Videos, dvds, who knows what else is in the works. But Computo is keeping to the grindstone, and will be bringing a lot in 2006. Keep posted, more to come soon.
1.1.06- The New Year brings new offerings...
Computo has delivered the new video for his work, Metronomicon. The work was derived from only 2 samples, the Click and Tuning "A" from a cheap, electronic metronome. The video was generated by the original Midi and audio information from the studio, triggering pixels in a piece of software that Computo designed in Jitter. We've got it in various sizes, and in Ipod format, so you can take it with you. Get it now, before its posted for sale on Itunes...

4.07.06- Some things to report...Computo is plugging away with his new cd, and will have 2-3 new works to preview on his Myspace blogsite soon. Some new guests may be announced soon, though one new act has already been disclosed, Lex Records hip-hopster, Tes. In addition, Computo is working on a new video for Tes and DJ Raedawn, for their recent work, This the Power. Finally, Computo has been tapped to co-ordinate and curate the talent for the Outdoor stage at future Baseline Project events. The next event will be on May 26th, at Hangar 1018, in LA. More info soon.
3.29.06- Ok, here it is, the previously unreleased video for _snizl. This work was completed about 2 months ago, but wasnt rendered for consumption until about 3 weeks ago, when it was included on a limited edition promotional dvd, created exclusively for SXSW 2006. Enjoy it now, as it may not be here for long.

3.28.06 b- Just added to this Friday's Hootenany at Hangar 1018, Northern California electronic slamdancer, Her Space Holiday. Keep your pants on kids.
3.28.06- For the pure sake of numbing your minds, here's a repost of Computo's first version of his online TR-909. Now you can jam out like Trent Reznor, right there are work. If you're still using it 2 hours from now, then you should really just buy my album.
3.23.06 b- One more thing. Computo is curating the outside area at Hangar 1018 on March 31st in downtown LA. The party is being thrown by Little Radio blogzine. The outdoor lineup has yet to be announced, but the indoor area will feature Spindrift (with members of Brian Jonestown Massacre) and Crash Berlin. The outdoor acts will be posted in the next day or two.
3.23.06- Nothing to say, but WOW. SXSW XX was easily, one of the best times in recorded history. Simple fact is, the Month of Gluttony (its actually 3 months) got off to a spectacular start. And it was all thanks to the illustrious Jeremy deVine, of Temporary Residence Limited. Ate enough mexican food to feed a small peruvian village... and St Patricks Day invited all types of fun. Computo performed his live remix of Neil Young's "Southern Man" at the Berklee Showcase, then moved on to perform with Caroline at the TRL showcase. To be frank, Jeremy has created one of the most amazing families of musicians in the world, and being a part of that was utterly inspiring. Temporary Residence is an oasis in the abyss of bullshit that is the music industry. And a successful one, at that. Next time YOU go on a trip, and end up staying in a house with one of the biggest rock bands of today (Explosions in the Sky), you'll know what I mean. God. What a whirlwind adventure. The blog will go into deep detail as to the beauty of this endeavor...stay tuned.
3.14.06- Last night in LA before SXSW, getting ready for some righteous fun. Lots of free drinks, cheap food and ladies galore, Austin has been cracked up to be some hot times. We'll bring you blogs, vlogs, plogs and more, in between the craziness and music. Info and recordings will be available on a day to day basis, and if you're in Austin, find me for a free DVD, with exclusive content. See you in the streets!
3.4.06- Dont know if YOU noticed, but the Berklee showcase is going to have FREE BEER for everyone over 21!!! Thats right, folks, if you didnt have an excuse to take the bus to Austin already, you do now. You'll be drinking on the tab of one of the wealthiest schools in the nation; at least now I know what that huge endowment is going to. Nevertheless, SXSW is gonna be nuts, and we all know how FREE BEER helps. And NO! this isn't a scam to pull you poor people in the door, a la Phish, there will really be FREE BEER. Did I forget to mention, FREE BEER?
3.1.06- Computo is counting down the days to the SXSW Festival and Conference. With only 17 days until the Berklee College of Music showcase, Computo has discovered the flyer and artist list for the event. And once again, Computo and the Slip will share a stage. As far back as the summer of 2000, Computo was performing on the same stage as this groundbreaking Avant-Jazz trio, most recently at the 2002 Creekside Jamboree, smack in the center of PA. There are some rare images of the event in the photos section, including one of our tour manager locking the keys in the car! In case you hadnt noticed, The Retard Circus has announced the dates for the month of Gluttony (yes, it's really 3 months but when you're that much of a glutton...). We're moving the month up by 2 weeks, to accommodate SXSW, so get belligerent!
2.17.06- Computo has just been confirmed for the Berklee College of Music showcase at the 2006 SXSW Festival and Conference. The showcase will be on March 17th, from 3-430 pm, at "Friends", an Austin venue located at 208 E. 6th St, Austin, TX. Computo is honored to be included in this Neil Young tribute concert, presented by his alma mater. Later that same night, Computo will be performing with Caroline Lufkin, at the Temporary Residence label showcase, at The Whiskey Bar. More info is coming down the pipes about these gigs, but they are both going to be smashing. Low ceiling people, watch your heads.
2.12.06- Data Age was a rocking success, lots of great artists, ranging through all genres from synth pop, to experimental guitar-based electronica, which I'll blog about later, but for now, check out the recordings, the first live recordings in months.

1.16.06- Computo has gone back into the bombshelter, to begin production on a bunch of new projects. Another video is in the works, for which piece, is so far unclear. There is also a pending podcast, of live studio work. But most notably, is Computo's preliminary groundwork for a new full-length release. A corresponding live recording has become a consideration also, as no live recordings have been posted in almost 6 months. Videos, dvds, who knows what else is in the works. But Computo is keeping to the grindstone, and will be bringing a lot in 2006. Keep posted, more to come soon.
1.1.06- The New Year brings new offerings...
Computo has delivered the new video for his work, Metronomicon. The work was derived from only 2 samples, the Click and Tuning "A" from a cheap, electronic metronome. The video was generated by the original Midi and audio information from the studio, triggering pixels in a piece of software that Computo designed in Jitter. We've got it in various sizes, and in Ipod format, so you can take it with you. Get it now, before its posted for sale on Itunes...

11.26.05- A bit more info about the upcoming shows at Hangar 1018 on December 3rd and 15th. The 3rd, is going to feature a host of radical California-based talent.

Also, a melange of Beck's back-up bandmembers are going to be convening, to present some electro-stylings. As mentioned, Daedelus will be flicking and flying across his bitbox. Of course, Computo will be doing his thing, what ever THAT is. Also, K-Dub will be making the trip south from San Francisco, for a special reunion of The Sons of Liberty. Hopefully, the first of a couple this month. As for the December 15th show, Books on Tape, a fellow Icomplex rocker, has been announced. More info coming on these shows, they're both going to be amazing.
11.22.05- The I-complex show was a blazing success, with simply ripping sets from all acts involved. And the all blacklight art show wasnt too shabby either! Two new shows to announce, both at the now infamous Hangar 1018. The first will be on Saturday, December 3rd, with the crew that produces the Baseline Project. The show will be Computo's first shared bill with fellow LA beat-demolisher, Daedelus. The second show will be Thursday, December 15th, and more details are still to come on this show.

9.15.05- What a whirlwind of a city! Los Angeles is an ever-evolving all-consuming beast, and it is mirrored in everyway by this awe-inspiring scene. This is what I imagined life COULD be like. News? Yeah, there's news. DataBeta begins this week, with Computo as part of the debut team. Computo attended last week's Data Age Event to see his good friends, Emis, who rocked the house, Reaktor-style.
