I started goofing around with sound production in my
teenage years after getting an old 8 channel mixing board
in lieu of pay from a shifty employer. Fortunately
my enthusiasm for using gear in all the wrong ways
unexpectedly led to a career producing audio for top tier
video games. However, 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!
dJ Bake-n-Phat has remixed a couple of tracks by Suffer
Fools. "Almost Beautiful" was remixed 5 times into
an EP, and 2 "Ocean Of Grief" remixes were produced.
Also, a remix of Space Junk Removal Service's song "Baby
Frog" was produced. They 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. Music was
written and recorded simultaniously in one take, often
avoiding traditional instrumentation, so as you can
imagine, it's pretty sloppy sounding, and of dubious
lyrical content. Subsequently, archives of these
recordings are not public and you'll have to track down
one of the cassettes or CDRs to hear them.
The Keyless Chucks, Vic Velour and the Velvetones,
The Periodic Fable, Rivet Bitch Sound System, and Pantasm!
are other short lived music projects that have produced
one thing or another along the way.
Ongoing musical projects are Killer Wails, as well as
Tacklebox Tewillicker And The Sump Pump Solution.
For ten years I also recorded over 1700 bedtime tales,
improvised prior to going to sleep. These have been made
available to friends with children as a story-on-demand
service, should the parents need a bedtime tale
themselves, a list of story titles can be found here.
