Long Distance Poison performed Signals To A Habitable Zone on October 12th and 13th, 2012 at The Autumn Bowl as part of Whispers: A Sound + Art Series. It was our first performance as a group in conjunction with an arts festival. Whispers: A Sound + Art Series presented a weekend of sound-based and sound-inspired art performance, establishing The Autumn Bowl as a new site for innovative musical and visual experiences. Presented by Nuit Blanche NY, The Autumn Bowl lasted through the month of October and featured artists working with light, sound, and projection and offer a range of events in conjunction with co-presenting cultural organizations within a 360-degree video projection and sound environment.

Long Distance Poison – Signals To A Habitable Zone
Fin Records, 2012
Directed by

“Long Distance Poison present an irresistible concoction of convergent psychedelic and analog electronic energies, everything from a love of nature, and Rothko-like visual aesthetics, to musical influences like Sky Records, John Carpenter soundtracks, minimalism, and a less-hyper Mother Mallard or post-Phaedra Tangerine Dream. They’ve released some excellent tapes on Ecstatic Peace, Digitalis Limited, VCO Recordings, Constellation Clatsu, Cryptic Carousel and more–releases that capitalize on the band’s strength in long-form electronic composition with a wealth of improvisational wiggle-room. There’s a “ground” concept for each section of each piece, but that merely serves as a taking-off point for LDP’s pulsating extrapolations, typically about 30 minutes in length total, or longer. They’ve been wowing local Brooklyn audiences for some time now, and part of the fun of their shows is the opportunity to experience the band finding their way in the moment, watching the clay of their ideas take on form and urgency as they go.”

–by Wm. Berger, host of My Castle of Quiet on radio WFMU

Noisey wrote about Long Distance Poison and ran a photo of mine along with this video of my very first performance with Long Distance Poison at The School House.

“Though a lot of folks might consider drone and sound art to be the least musical music you could make, I often find that freaky experimental improvisers are the ones most knowledgeable and wide-ranging about all kinds of pop. It’s like they pushed so far into music nerddom that they popped out on the other side of the wormhole and then channel sounds from a musical bizarroverse.” – Nat Roe, Noisey
