I will be the first to admit that going to Helsinki and Budapest in February for a mini tour was extremely silly idea - especially anyone whon knows that my love for winter is only because it makes me love spring and summer more.

This is a special live set recorded at a very small private spontaneous dance and wakeful dreaming happening at 23 Windows Studio in Brooklyn Setember 26 into the 27th 2008. It recycles some of the Wisma Langit material in a new way and features allot of new stuff from track sketches from the summer. It also features a recording of the voice and words of Brad Will.

The Khan Altay Festival was held July 25th - August 2 2008 during the full total solar eclipse in the Altay Mountain Republic region of souther Siberia, Russia near the Mongolian, Chinese and Kazakhstan boarders. Zemi17 performed 5 times at the festival. Two of which were extended Live Sets. The first was an ambient set on Laptop, with Akai Midi Saxaphone (thanks Jeanne) and the 2nd was a classic Space Haus sourced from the Wisma Langit material as well as allot of new material performed for the first time.

This was a Live PA performed with Dok from Ameoba technology. Dok played Therimin, analog synth, zither and filters. Zemi17 played the Balinese Trompong, Philipino 12 string guitar, Kacapi Sunda, and laptop.

This is a live recording presented as a continous play edited section (because the dat ran out) of a 2 hour performance.

This set was performed with Laptop and midi controllers. It was a presentation of all new materials from NOv 2006 - Nov 2007.

It is presented in 2 parts as a continous play. Part 1 is largely sources from the "Wisma Langit" album materials and Part 2 expands to more recent works techno works

This was a Live PA with almost all samples sourced in real time from things I did with my mouth (there was one point that I samples a didj and also wove in some cicada samples). It was the wake up set for the Sunday morning at the Share Campout at Jill's house upstate August 19, 2007. I played on the deck next to the hot tube looking out at the catskills from beautiful green field.

It is presented in 2 parts - though it was played as one long set. Part 2 is very minmal, impart because Dok and another guy whose name escapes me began to play with me, though their lines were not recorded.

These are 3 tracks informally presented as an album. It was late January 2009, the heat has not worked in years at 23 windows studio for years. It was night and the patterns of thought were chasing away from me making forms of despair and frustration. The saxaphone I traded for German lesson's before moving to Berlin was long gone. Another one had found its way back into my life - a tenor sitting in the corner. Within moments the thoughts broke into non linear patterns circling me - all anxiety left and the path began to awake.

If you are also a producer, I would probably rather trade tracks with you than have any kind of commercial exchange.
So send me an email at cicada at zemi17.net and we can work it out.
