Day 9: The Building of Connie
🐋🏳️🌈📽️
A second video using the Yamaha DD6 for soundtrack and this time 8mm archive.org. These were made around 2009. I was grabbing video that looked interesting and editing around my audio, just following wherever it took me. The last one "Lead Feet and Hot Feet" didn't feel like it had any narrative but the nature of these old 8mm films seemed to tell a story when patched together.
Day 7: Fallen Pearls (V.S.O.P)
Day 6: An 'nguento tryptic
Opening to Divine Feminine energy through modular synthesis

Day 3: #s
Pronounced “numbers” and made before I ever used a hashtag. Very much inspired by old school Sesame Street animations. This was a time when I really went the extra mile to make everything as analog as possible and honestly had a blast doing it. I shot a bunch of stop motion using a 35mm camera and edited it all in iMovie. Soundtrack is an old casio and handmade rhythm machine - it’s lo-fi with a significant noise floor but I think it has a coziness to it.
The scenes in Prospect Park were a lot of fun, as were the ones shot with @sugarfreepony. I also used some felt Jesus, inspired by all the Sunday/Sabbath school stories I grew up with.
4 track album
Day 2: Tropical Race One
These tracks were recorded live in the Summer of 2009 by myself and slow drugs (aka James Leggero, who also mixed and mastered the recordings). Heavy use of the beloved SP-404, Casio CZ-?, circuit bent generic toy keyboard, and MicroMoog. James live looped vocals and other ambience with (I believe) an EchoPlex and also added some hi-hat to Garabandal (music video link in the Bandcamp description). These were recorded in our rehearsal space at King Killer Studios in Gowanus.
Day 1: Wesley’s Fun Tape
This is probably my first experience recording myself. 9 years old with a walkman. A lot has changed since then, yet in many ways I feel like the same person. Here I have edited a short-ish clipof the stand-out moments including my acapella cover of MC Hammer’s cover of “Soft & Wet”, 9 year old me editing in my own critique of myself (among other tape cassette hackery), and my sampling of Macho Man Randy Savage proposing to Miss Elizabeth at Summer Slam 1991.
Very much the experiments and musings of a little dude with no intention but self-entertainment. It’s a relic that I cherish. Creating to entertain myself is something that I have to keep reminding myself to do, yet at some point it was the only thing to do.
I’ll be turning 40 on the 23rd of this month, and as part of the celebration I am going to share something from my creative life each day until then*. It feels nice to look back and remind myself of the projects and collaborations I have been a part of. I can tend towards isolation (more so it seems as I get older) and the last few years haven't helped, but doing this inventory of sorts has been a great reminder of how much I value creative connections. I could say more and I will as the posts start rollinnnn.
*inspired by @yoeaves “40 days of art” but I couldn’t get my act together to do a full 40 days.
