Here’s a sound sketch from the lab called ‘A Race of Robots’.
Somebody like Ken Burns needs to make a documentary series dedicated to just the fictional robots of popular culture. In most stories, they’re created by humans, but escape their intended role.
It should start with Evil Maria from ‘Metropolis’ (1927) and work up from there.
Comment and let me know if you like the tune.
It finally happened! Chicago horror show host icon, Svengoolie showed my picture on his show last week! It pops up right before a commercial break in the movie ‘This Island Earth’ (terrible, terrible film from 1955).
For those that don’t know, Svengoolie is a long-running local program in the Chicago area and in recent years expanded nationally. The character Svengoolie, played by Rich Koz, airs low-budget, horror and science fiction movies (my favorite). As far as I know, he’s the last of the horror show hosts, a phenomenon that started in the 1950s, when television was still relatively new and local markets aired cheap, old movies, giving them them new life and new fans. Rich Koz has been hosting since the 1980s.
To have him give me a shout-out is as if the clouds parted and Zeus looked down at me and said, “Hey, dude.”

Just posted the first of the Skull Island Sessions, a series of short videos of experimental beats, rhythms and sounds that will get inside your head. Skull Island will be kind of a sound sketchbook of techniques and themes. I’m hoping to shipwreck some guests in here to help out, too.
If you love the track and think it has potential, let me know. If you hate it and want to drive a stake through it, let me know that, too.
