-Daedelus-

So i'm sitting on the bus just minding my own bidness and Daedelus comes on the pod. Now my entire being is bombarded by melodramatic, psychedelic, experimental pop and i'm digging every second of it. Born Alfred Weisberg-Roberts in Santa Monica, CA, this producer/instrumentalist has become a force in the exerimental music realm cutting, welding, slashing, remixing, splicing, joining, and reworking any and every sound. Sometimes its almost sounds like electronic jazz, even more so when he incorporates live horns or strings. The end result is musique concrète, and something that is, at times, chaotic but entirely exciting. So now I get home and I go to the u2b to try and find some video of him mixing, turns out he uses this machine that is so... square, but it is pretty in the dark. Check it out below performing "Fair Weather Friends" followed by some other tunes...

His latest endeavor is the Love To Make Music To a digital LP released in 2008, featuring songs of "dance and romance", is available for download from iTunes. Keep on exploring. Enjoy.
