Otaku (mp3) drum and bass.
Without Soul (mp3) downtempo. Written and produced by Tamara Weikel in January '98. Engineered by Brad Worrell, additional production by Robb Hart. Still waiting for official release by Scuba, licensed to Sealed Media UK for an Ian Peel compilation.
Rotor Song (realaudio) Originally improvised live at the Showbox by Rotor (Eric Moon, Cid Desmarais, Mike Perkowitz, and sometimes Tamara Weikel and Ben Sims) Re-worked and re-recorded by Tamara and Cid for "Semantics".
EKG (realaudio) minimal techno. Co-written with Tobe Schultz as "Velocity Not Color".
Untitled (realaudio) from "Semantics". Poor recording of a successful live piece for multiple cassette tapes/machines. I think we managed to get 20 for this show.
Bad Dog (realaudio) from "Semantics", vocals by Jessica Pregnolato, written/word collage compiled, manipulated, and produced by Tamara Weikel, additional engineering by Cid Desmarais.
Symbiotica (realaudio) short orchestral excerpt, performed by the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra.
