Welcome to Spivkurl's profile. Here, You will find info and audio related to Spivkurl's solo work, iris-t-shirt, and other We Are Records projects including Noise and Toys Volume 1 a circuit bent compilation. Spivkurl has just released two new albums, entitled "Depth Charge" and "Circle, Full Circle."

I have been making music of some sort since the eighties, if you count a casio PT-10. Got into electronic sequencing to some extent in the early nineties, while learning other instruments such as guitar and bass.

Used to play bass in the group Charlie Brown's Cousin around 1993-94. We were basically emo, it was silly.

Computer, Guitar, organ, bass, keyboards, a little drums, analog synthesis, bent stuff, recorder... oh yeah I sing too.

Whatever works...

Homebrew analog modular, BENT TOYS, microkorg, Korg DW-6000 (bent), Casio CZ 101, Two Zoom Rhythmtrak 123's, Casio HZ-600, a bunch of cheaper casios and keyboards (bent or not), homebrew fx

Saul Williams - ...Niggy Tardust
NIN - The Slip
Joy Division - Closer
Brian Eno - Another Green World
Talking Heads - Remain In Light

Pretty similar, also lots of pop music 70's to 90's. I like Ween, Shriekback, David Bowie, Prince, The Cure, Skinny Puppy, Muse, Bauhaus (Peter Murphy too), U Know, that kind of stuff.

Extreme experiences - Chance encounters - spontaneous synchronised randomness - other real artists - sadness - anger - wit - good and bad movies - politics

Connecting our heads together in some way which allows you to hear my internal rythms, thought patterns, and how it sounds to exist.

am eccentric (edit - schizophrenic), have been fired from 3 jobs consecutively, I'm on disability now which gives me lots of time to make music and review here on Looperman.
