This song, at the time called “Altered States” later was rearranged and became the title track to our EP which came out last year “Memory is Energy” (and is available on iTunes). About 3 minutes into this song we get into this deep Pink Floyd/DJ Shadow thing which was a classic performance.
Now that the move is nearly over, I have some new stuff that will really blow your mind. But for now enjoy!

Here is a video of a drum solo of mine during a Cell Theory performance at the famed Blue Note jazz club in downtown NYC in March of ’05. I was using a setup at the time running Ableton live on my mac, triggering short and long samples on which I soloed over the top using the acoustic kit. I was using the house kit which actually got a great kick drum sound.
