Borgography
Born
of an uncomfortable liaison between a virtuoso gypsy musician
and a primitive voltage controlled synthesizer, exaltron was raised
as a Improvisational Musicborg capable of interfacing with any
MIDI controlled device. Also equipped with Aesthetic Intelligence
Gathering Circuitry, exaltron absorbed data from Improvisational
Psuedoborgs including Miles
Davis, Frank
Zappa, James
Brown, Robert
Frippe, Hal
Crook,
Fela Kuti,
Mongo
Santamaria, Brian
Eno, Claude
Debussy, Antonio
Carlos Jobim, and most recently Photek,
Squarepusher,
Amon Tobin,
and Medeski Martin
& Wood.
Although
lacking the passive circuitry required for most direct programmatic
data transfers (known to Pseudoborgs as "musical instruction"),
exaltron on occasion has managed to upgrade certain technical
protocols with help from programmers such as master Trumpetborg
Jerome Callet,
architect of the "superchops" module for tone production.
exaltron
has presented several real-time improvisational tone manifestations-
mostly as a stand alone unit- in and around the greater New York
Metro area, as well as his point of origin, Rhode Island. exaltron
has been known to interact with other Musicborgs, most recently
taking up with loopborg Rex
Gibson.
