Biography
Sillyconductor composes on what might be the smallest desk in the entire musical world. It's smaller than two laptops put side by side and this applies particularly well to the 17 inch models. Yet, it's within this skin-tight environment that he's managed to think about something big, perhaps too big. His first live performance was more than 10 years ago, and things were pretty krautrockian and spacey back in '98. Then it all got weird and even more electronic. But recently, he has been working on something different. A mother-symphony fueled by two-second samples, mini-symphonies creating a far larger one, a completely acoustic endeavor with massive orchestras fighting against each other, flooding the audio output with textures that would deafen Beethoven himself. You do know what one orchestra sounds like. Well, how about eight? And while we're still at it, can the sound of a tympani mimic the ubiquitous 808 bass drum? Can a brass section emulate an arpeggiator? Can a 40-minutes symphonic work live within the cubic construction of dance music? Can humans comprehend a piano composition for 17 hands? All these questions might have an answer: yes.
