mano-destra is back

i recently moved into a new place and i haven’t had a chance to put my studio back together. i have been writing electronic music for almost a decade now and it is hands down my true passion. i purchased the first electronic music album to ever be released in the states when i was 11 and ever since i have had a deep love affair with all that is electronic. the only reason i got into computers in the first place was to get me one step closer to the music.

i don’t really talk about it as much as i should. it is personal i guess. however, since now that i have a total hard on for the web i have been conspiring a way to make it make sense. tba.

i put my studio back together tonight and i turned on my machines. once things got rolling i was reaffirmed that everything was going to be alright. believe it or not i used to dj with black fingernails, and it was a lot of fun but it was not nearly as fun as building the songs.

i love my music.

whenever i talk about mano-destra i always share this song – it is my favorite.

you can listen and download more of my past track at mano-destra.com – and i have a couple dozen new songs coming out eventually. i will share a few soon i promise.

dammasch state hospital 2.0

mr. diggles — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 06:24:41 +0000

i forgot to mention this site. it was (re)launched about 2 months ago.

the description: Dammasch State Hospital was a mental hospital, asylum, and educational center located in Wilsonville, Oregon, United States. It opened in 1961 and closed in 1995. [ check out the site here ]

dammasch is a great story. to a small group of us on one fateful night, we all had a personal change from this very building. some of us more than others but i can assure you that anyone that has been inside can say that it is a surreal place for many reasons.

this website is a tribute to the building. we are trying to collect as much content as we can from people and place it here for others to enjoy. my friend graeme took a bunch of great images that you can see on the site. we are also working on collecting stories and videos. pretty straight forward. i know there is a ton of cool shit we can put on this site so i am encouraging anyone that has any content to submit it.

and while i am shamelessly self promoting my work…

my friend julian and i had plans to do a documentary on the hospital so we had this idea to invite local psychics to come out and investigate the building as a chapter of the documentary. well, unexpectedly like 50 local psychics showed up to this invite and we walked around this building all day with them as each of them practiced their unique way of communicating. we saw it all. and honestly, some of it was pretty exiting… but some of it was also straight up dork-o-rama.

a n y w a y, this dude and his mother happened to go out to dammasch the night before this meeting happened (so essentially the night before the psychic chapter).

the dude had on a recorder to record disembodied voices but he had it so cranked up that you could hear everything from neighborhood garbage trucks to airplanes flying above.

one year later… julian gets an email from this guy saying yo, mom my and i went to dammasch the night before and… proceeded to tell the story above. then offered the audio in donation for the sake of the project. so julian sent me the audio and i decided to turn it into a song. i love it – click below and check it out. this shit is wild.

you can find more of my music at mano-destra.com

i would cut off one of my butterfingers to get back into that place.

mano-destra.com launched

so it’s official. i decided to launch the new mano-destra website and give away my past tracks. i am working on a new album and i have been tinkering around with this website for too long. so you will notice there is one thing missing and that is the source files to each track. my plan is to have everything available for people to take and do what they want with it. i write electronic music because i enjoy it: if others want to enjoy it as well then i made it easy to grab. put some of it on your ipod or whatever and go for a walk. that’s what i do.

check out the site here

oh yeah, and for those of you that didn’t know (which i am assuming is the majority) i have been writing electronic music for close to a decade now and i am sure i will do it for the rest of my life.
