Pyramidi Scheme to be released September 6th.
Pyramidi Scheme, is a concept album. It began with a concept of trying to see if I could play a composition on just one of my Pyramidi instruments, an instrument I created that is made of buttons, lights, joysticks and some other sensors. It was a little challenging, but I was able to do it and you can hear the results in the tracks Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Dwarf. Then I decided to make it less restrictive and compose music for two Pyramidi controllers, which you can hear in the track Hidden Chambers. Then I decided to expand the concept and dedicate each composition to a Pyramid made by an ancient civilization. For many years I have been inspired and fascinated by all the mysteries hidden, perhaps encoded, into the construction of the Egyptian, Mayan and Aztec Pyramids. I later decided that I wanted to expand the concept of the album to include tracks dedicated to any Megalithic structure or monument. There are so many fascinating and inspiring places that fit this description on Earth that I had to cut myself off after awhile because I wanted to create a track for every one I could think of.
There will be an album release event in Los Angeles at Coaxial Space on Sept. 26th. All the artists performing that evening are really amazing. There will be audio visual performances, circuit bent instruments, and homemade instruments made by me and others as well.
