Your Brain on Drugs---was a solo effort by me (crystal) during a slow period of 60 Cycle Hum. Two cassette tapes were released and about 10 live performances performed including one memorable outdoor jam when the troopers showed up at 2:00am (after most listeners had bedded down ,or fell down, for the night) and said they could hear the noise for over a mile ;^) i was using well over 1000watts of amp stacks, with multiple different effects on each amp, fun.
AEON --- was a duo of bass guitar, feedback, electronics, and didjeridou that lasted about 3 years, 25 performances, and someday (when i get to it) a cd or at least some downloadables. Very trance inducing, spacey and earthy all at once ...
Crystal Awareness Project --- was the working/playing name of some various electro-acoustic ensembles formed and unformed during 1999-2001.
recent live performances:
10/28/11: Freaker's Ball SF CA live PA spooky downtempo stuff
5/8/2010: Whole Earth Festival live PA guerilla set, me on computer and Big Joe Daddy on digital trumpet
5/9/2010: Whole Earth Fest solo computer performance
