Framing Music Ongoing Isolate, displace, duplicate, reverse, erase elements of a performance in a real time frame to reveal the basic underlying relationships between time and function. The relationships can be recorded and transferred to various transmitting devices, the ultimate goal being an ever expanding feedback loop. Vandalize the profane; reveal the sacred.   News July, 2006 The Ad Nauseam Project is preparing two new performances. One performance will be held in Nantes, FR on 12/16/06 with the possibility of another in Paris. The other will be in Tucson, AZ at a site and time TBA. February, 2006 We are in the process of creating a new performance in collaboration with Eric Pifeteau, Federico Pellegrini, and various Tucson artists. November 14th, 2005- La Bobine, Grenoble, FR In collaboration with Federico Pellegrini, musician (The Little Rabbits) and video artist, Mr. Tidypaws performs a new Ad Nauseam Project with the help of Tron D (Electroshockbox) and French composer Yann Savel. This work incorporates video, live music, and off-site performance.  http://www.sceneamericaine.com/ October 26th, 2005- Hotel Congress, Tucson AZ In preparation for our performance in Grenoble, FR on November 14th, we will perform an abridged version of our work-in-progress. Other France-bound groups will also be performing. The new work incorporates elements from Motown and minimal music of the '60s. Special thanks to Frankie Estelle, Vicki Brown, Ryen Eggleston, Tron D, Dimitri Manos, Naim Amor, and Al Perry. Late October- Waterworks Recording Studio The Ad Nauseam Project will be working with Jim Waters to create a facsimile of our live performance with the help of various Tucson-based artists. July 29th, 2005- Solar Culture, Tucson AZ This is a picture of the Sore Noise Cone Accumulator (special thanks to Dag Weiser), with the General Meta Dispersal Unit in the background. I had people stand in front of the Accumulator, where irritating sounds would cause the subject to emit an orgone-like energy. The Accumulator would then translate and transfer this “energy” to the General Meta Dispersal Unit which in turn sent the translated energy to the musicians. The sounds created by the musicians under the influence of the energy were sent back out to the onlookers, creating a type of feedback loop. I gave a short lecture describing all of this during the performance, but apparently my voice sounded garbled and unintelligible. I spent most of the performance adjusting the machines and scanning the ceiling, where an aurora borealis-type phenomenon would appear if everything worked properly. Thanks to musicians Sutherland Crow, Winter Eights, Andrew & Miguel from La Cerca, Chris & Mona from Molehill Orkestrah, and Naim Amor.
