jason e anderson presents
a weelky series of sounds and visuals
(may 11, 2003 - july 6, 2003)

re-runs now available!!!

(please note that these pages were coded in 2003 - long before i was familiar with coding with web standards. i could update it, but i think it's important to keep this work as close to the original format as possible.)

In a world increasingly inundated and bombarded with new tools and technological distractions, comes a series of music developed through experimentation with a consumer four track cassette recorder. Acquired from a fellow friend and coworker, Jason has used the Fostex X-18 multitracker four track cassette recorder as the means by which he began his musical explorations. Over the years, these roots have developed into an increasingly technological process of creation. Like many modern electronic musicians, the computer has become a central part of the creative process in live performance, composition, and the development of arranged sound works.

In an attempt to break away from the computer, while paying tribute to Jason's four track, he will create a series of crude audio works entitled Cimytofeo. These sketches served as rough drafts of raw, low-fidelity sound will be released as 2-3 minute mp3's on this website (listed above) starting May 11, 2003, posted every week, for nine weeks. They will be available on Sunday nights at 7pm and will live on this web page for seven days. All works will be recorded and created on a four track cassette tape recorder. No computer will be used in the creation of the works except for the final transfer to the computer (mp3 format).

Cimytofeo also consist of images, completely conceived by Jason E Anderson. The images will play with the notion of narrative, providing small scenes throughout the series to allow the participant of the work the opportunity to creatively interpret the relationship between sound and image.

Cimytofeo will contain a bit of mystery, suspense, and humor, while attempting to bring forth a very specific, dark sensibility only to be experienced and described through this creation.
