This Thursday Amokian Masheeen on internet radio!

This Thursday, from 11pm to 1am on Kill Radio Amokian Masheeen will take to the net-waves (not air-waves as this is net radio.

This set is a collaboration with Igor Amokian, phog masheeen and Ustad Morelock. Igor Amokian is a legendary circuit bender and Groove Agent. A veteran of beatbox battles and an impresario of beat related events. Ustad is the host of Dung Mummy Radio and formidable force on guitar synth.

For this event I broke out the groove box and built three programs for the event, Lower Level, On the Bubble and Steel Cut. I don't know if I will get to use any of them, but it is good to be prepared.

What else do you have going between 11pm and 1am on a Thursday night? And you can join the chat at the Kill Radio page.

Phog masheeen also opened last weekend's Santa Ana Noise Fest #5. On this occasion we were Joined by Craig Sibley who performed on a variety of instruments. Most notably his "Chicken-phone."

Here is Craig's description of the "Chicken-phone."

The history of the Chicken-Phone goes back to when I lived in Fullerton, where we had a large yard behind the house complete with a chicken coop. One day while cleaning up the yard, I set a tomato trellis on top of a chicken "nesting box". I tossed a brick over where it hit the box and trellis and it made the most remarkable sound. I promptly took the objects into the garage, added some guitar strings and immediately fell in love with the instrument, where I used it on a variety of projects including a sound track on a film called "Menagerie" (complete with chicken poop and everything). Since then, I have built a nice version of the instrument (without poop) and love the thing! It has a bass string, and a guitar string, can be struck with drum sticks, plucked or bowed for some very strange and wonderful sounds!

Look for the recording of SANF5 to be up soon! With Chicken-phone and Dr. Kaplan's signature percussion.http://tiforg.bandcamp.com/track/smash-it-up-the-damned
