2010-07-06T00:00:00.000-07:00

The Bob Barker Blastocore Band is Andrew Arnold on drums and percussion and Evan Arnold on vocals and percussion. The band was formed in late May 2009 and recorded its debut in just two days, which included three music videos. Featuring thirty tracks clocking in at just under ten minutes, Bobcore is an interesting jaunt into tardcore and powerviolence experiments.

2009-05-12T00:00:00.000-07:00

Andrew Arnold: Tranquillity

2009-04-14T00:00:00.000-07:00

My first solo release. This is an experimental noise album. Rather than taking the layering and sampling approach on the Music for... tapes, I have used a single audio source for this album: in this case, episode S01E02 of Futurama (slowed down considerably).

Sorry this is a week late... I... forgot?
