I started goofing around with sound production in my teenage
years, and my enthusiasm for using gear in all the wrong ways
fortunately led to a career producing audio for top tier video
games. But although awards were won and I did quite well at that,
it wasn't much fun and eroded my soul, so I've returned to making
goofball sound projects that can't be taken seriously, and I no
longer make video game audio. Chhha-zaahh!
Most recently dJ Bake-n-Phat has remixed a couple of tracks by
Suffer Fools, "Ocean Of Grief" available now, and the "Almost
Beautiful" EP to be released in November 2023. They will be
available for listening at Bandcamp here.
From 2001 to 2009 I ran a mixed music program pretentiously
called With (Intent To Hear) under the moniker dJ
Bake-n-Phat. Since few people streamed audio in its early
years, the 147 programs were burned to 3000+ custom-packaged CDRs
and distributed by hand to strangers and curious onlookers in an
effort to build community through a kind of hand-to-hand-swapping
distribution network. From 2011 to 2014 I also produced a
'college radio show' as an episodic letter home to friends while I
attended university. During the Pandemic Lockdown I ran a
'local community radio show' called Freak Meet, archives of which
can be heard here.
From 1989 to 2006 I ran a project called olo T.
Schickelleghroughverre and the Happy Philanthropist Orchestra,
producing 18 albums, mostly released on cassette in very small
numbers, though one was a CD in a series of 40 individually drawn
art sleeves.
The Keyless Chucks, Vic Velour and the Velvetones, The Periodic
Fable, Rivet Bitch Sound System and Pantasm! are other short lived
music projects that produced one thing or another along the way.
Ongoing musical projects are Killer Wails, as well as Tacklebox
Tewillicker and the Sump Pump Solution.
Between 2005 and 2015 I recorded over 1700 bedtime tales,
improvised prior to going to sleep on evenings when I was sleeping
alone. These have been made available to friends with children as
a story-on-demand service, should they need a bedtime tale
themselves.
dJ Bake-n-Phat has also been known to make a mixtape for friends
now and then, recently curating a series of mixes called Mostly
Old Mostly Good, intended to introduce the youth of today to
overlooked music of cultural resistance from yesteryear.
