I will be appearing on a segment of the show “On The Road” with Jason Davis. It airs on KSTP in Minneapolis, MN and WDIO in Duluth, MN. Here’s some details about the show: KSTP: On The Road
The show is centered on the Duluth harbor, and my segment focuses on my recording of sounds in Canal Park and then modifying and composing music with those sounds… I was video-taped and interviewed while playing with some sounds in my studio. The resulting music I used for one of my Sonic Sculptures:
Tepetricy’s first album ‘Shaking the Rust Internally' includes six tracks beautifully crafted in a state of aggressive euphoria and a bonus music video for the song ‘A Lonesome Night in Triage’.
"...[The-Novus-Arcadia's] dozen instrumental tracks work together marvelously..." - Budgeteer News, 6/29/2007
"Overall, [The-Novus-Arcadia's] an immensely enjoyable experience, and it could well become a piece of electronic art that may be a required listen in the near future." - Muse's Muse, 7/31/2007
"Building up tension through clever drum programming and a heightened sense of atmosphere, each track ups the ante for the album as a whole, while being complete in and of themselves." - Igloo Magazine, 8/27/2007
Bonus: Order this album now and get a free copy of the full-length experimental electronica album Skerzi by Ryan Rapsys (independent release in 2004) while supplies last.
