Artist description I record various sounds from places I visit. I take these sounds and combine them with music to "make a song". Some of the instruments I use are the Indonesian Gender, the slide guitar, harmonica, bamboo xylaphone, bamboo flutes and effects processors. I rarely use vocals, however when used they are deliberate. I use mainly the Indonesian Gender and slide guitar to create a warm, hypnotic background to which I can add other instruments.

Artist History I started recording sounds in 1997 and started putting them to music soon after. Some of the places I've recorded are Japan, Indonesia, San Francisco and Los Angeles. I released an album titled Spanked Clean in 1999. This album was recorded in San Francisco and produced in Indonesia. Spanked Clean was a collection of more "western" style music, however, now I am focusing more on Indonesian style music and mixing this flavor with traditional western musical instruments.

Group Members Although I've worked on some collaborations, most of my work I create and produce alone.
