Time Travel FRIDAY 6.13, Forms at AFTERJUMPFEST 6.21!!!

I've been playing with some New Age Tribal Synth Music, and I'm going to be playing some of it Friday at a pretty cool place called the Yard in Carroll Gardens. (http://www.theyard.ws) I/we play pretty early -- 6:30.

We're playing with a band I like a lot called Physics Of Meaning, which I guess I would describe as what would happen if Robert Plant were ridiculous at the violin. In a good way tho. The singer/violinist Daniel, in addition to being a cool guy and the type of old-school weirdo I can really relate to, plays with St. Vincent and Pattern Is Movement and John Vanderslice and some others I'm probably forgetting.

So early show. Time Travel at 6:30. Show done by 9.

Bowery, Apes, Androids, Remix

Forms will be playing Bowery Ballroom on 5/30 with Apes and Androids and Free Blood. Should be interesting, if this awesome flier is any indication. ;)

Also, we are working on some remixes-- really re-recordings almost-- of song from the self-titled, on which we will be getting guest vocalists. We've got Red Gun done. Stay tuned.

Acqua Album Available :: Free Download


The Acquaman album is here. A collection of dark, hard electronic instrumentals, it's like a scuba-diving expedition on K. Or maybe it's like what would happen if a rogue wild dolphin got hold of an Akai sampler. If we were feeling verbose maybe we would call it "an odyssey of the subconscious".

Some songs:
