Download :: Leave Trace & John Ames - Live at Kinetic 4 / Chillography 204
This set was recorded live in the in Chillography Downtempo Dinosaur room at Kinetic 4 at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, WA on April 3, 2010. John and I performed under the short-lived name of “A Delicate Moment”, which was quickly killed for being at bit too precious of a name. Band names are hard! Beats and textures by me, Leave Trace, and cello by John Ames.
And here’s some video of the performance:

Here’s the April 2010 installment of Psilicon Dreams, my monthly mix of psychedelic downtempo electronica for DI.FM’s Psychill channel. For this mix, I spelunked the bassier depths of psychill and finished it off with a couple lovely beatless tracks to help send you off peacefully in to dreamland.

I recorded the April 2010 installment of Psilicon Dreams last night. Expect to hear a set exploring the bassier, dubbier side of psychill, and finishing with a beautiful, beatless cooldown. Tune in to DI.FM’s Psychill channel this Saturday, the 10th, at 9am US PST / 12pm US EST / 5pm UK / 18:00 Central Europe to catch its debut. I’ll post the set here for download later in the weekend.
It’s here! Kinetic 4 at the Pacific Science Center. We’ve been planning our portion of this event for sometime now and now it is time to make it all happen. 
Chillography is excited to not only have the best room in the entire PSC for stage (freaking robot dinosaurs!), but also having perhaps our best line-up yet. This will not suck.
Much of my excitement also comes from the fact that John Ames and I get to debut our new music project, A Delicate Moment. We play from 10-11, and have an entire hour of brand-spankin’-new melodic, dubby, psychedelic, downtempo goodness, heavily layered with John’s crazy cello skills. This set has been months in the making and I can’t wait to show off the awesome sauce that we have concocted.

Here’s the March 2010 installment of Psilicon Dreams, my monthly mix of psychedelic downtempo electronica for DI.FM’s Psychill channel. For this mix, I crossed all sorts of genre borders and included psybient, IDM, dubstep, downtempo, psydub, glitch, and a dash of ambient and sloa goa. I’m rather fond of this mix as it feels cohesive, yet covers so much psychill ground.
What do you think? Leave a comment with your thoughts on this amount of genre blending in one set.

The March 2010 episode of Psilicon Dreams has been recorded and uploaded. I’m really happy with selection of tracks in this episode. Psybient, atmospheric IDM, psydub, dubstep, glitch, downtempo, and a wee dash of sloa goa some how it all made their way in and came out sounding fab. Tune in to DI.FM’s Psychill channel this Saturday, the 13th, at 9am US PST / 12pm US EST / 5pm UK / 18:00 Central Europe to catch its debut. I’ll post the set here for download later in the weekend.
Tonight, I’m performing a live Leave Trace ambient set at a really fantastic new monthly exploring the mellowist end of the music spectrum. Contained within the cozy confines of Space in Greenwood, these parties are not to be missed if you are a fan of true ambient music. The show runs from 10:30pm – 3:30am, and I’m playing the 1:15-2:30am slot. Oh, and it’s only $5! That’s cheap enough to come on out and quickly bail if you decide it’s not your thing!
Hope to see you on the chill floor.
We are proud to present the second of the series of Ambire Linearis on March 12th. We will be graced by fantastic art, interesting visuals, professional dialed in surround sound, and a beautiful container to hold space for deepening our personal interactions.
Adding to the atmosphere will be featured visual artists Cameron Larson (who was recently reviewed in The Stranger) and Courtney Sundberg. We will also be having sushi and other such luxuries to enjoy.
