"Tube," described by CD Baby as "epic world fusion" is a mixture of  
electronics and dijeridoo and features collaborations with Dave Gamper  
of See Hear Now and the Deep Listening Band, and David Azarch, the  
former DJ from New York's Mudd Club. The album can be found at

Both of these albums combine acoustic and electronic instruments with  
digital manipulation.  The equipment used ranges from a 16 bit Atari ST  
to a Macintosh G4 and almost everything in between.  The collaborations  
with David Gamper feature the Expanded Instrument System that he  
developed in his work with Pauline Oliveros and the Deep Listening  
Band.

Full length streams of several of the songs can be found at the Cinema  
Volta website at http://www.cinemavolta.com/listen.html
