About
I'm Brendan. I play guitar, koto, voice, and sometimes laptop. I live in Brooklyn.
This page is mostly for sketches + live sets + other detritus. Finished things are at heyexit.com.
I also play in Rough Weather, Esther Chlorine, and Tethers.
Thanks for listening! Say hello don't be shy: hey (at) hey exit (dot) com
@The Upstate Soundscape: Ah thanks very much, man!
@wyliecable: Koto! Like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koto_(musical_instrument)
This!
Snare at the end reminds me of Boom Boom Satellites' early stuff!
god damn Nirvana was SO GOOD
Some serious Sigur Ros vibes goin on here!
vintage Photek vibe, takes me back
@juliendemoulin: Yep! Just a mic in the back of the room.
Yeah!
this part is sick
I like how the comedown here feels generally calmer but the frenetic lead line in the back keeps it tense. Good show!
Nice little pause there!
@Spuddley: Thanks for listening!
@Wilhelm Matthies: Thanks for listening! We'll be releasing a tape in the coming months. Woo!
Fabulous.
Nice way of evoking the texture of beat-oriented music while avoiding an actual beat.
This section too! Bit of a freakout here.
Compelling section right here. Something about outbursts like this is, like, reliably attractive to me.
Very nice. Hey, I'm going to go download your album. Sweet!
@thesoundscape: Ah, thanks very much for that!
Thanks for listening!
@ξ-9XIE: No problem! This one (Golden Trapper Keeper) is for the last show at this venue. It got shut down shortly afterwards. The 381 show has no event, it's just a show.
@ξ-9XIE: I haven't played on the street yet, although I've thought about it. Here's a quick video to give you an idea of what it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f23_aVQfdQ4
It feels like you're implying a space, but intentionally being unclear about what kind of space that is. Am I right on that?
Nice groove, good transition too. I think these are the strong points of this piece.
Pretty nice, man. Are you into The Album Leaf at all?
Great opening, dropped right in.
Man that's dope.
Yes.
This piece reminds me of some early Autechre - Incunabula.
Beautiful. Do you listen to much Ikue Mori? Some of her drum machine work on Labyrinth has a similar aesthetic.
What he said!
Super intense Jazz From Hell vibe all throughout. Fabulous.
Very nice - takes me back.
This has got a really heavy S.A.W. II vibe to it. Right on.
Very pretty!
This is very nice. I'd like to spend some time writing music like this - sure is easy to get stuck in noise land.
GOOD MORNING.
Enjoying the subtle pitched content in this piece.
Good call.
