Radiolaria. An algorithmic piece of Elliott Sharp's perfomed by Orchestra Carbon. My contribution was to design software to amplify sinusoidal components of the orchestral performance in real time, projecting them back into the space to create a reinforcing feedback. Available on zOaR Music.

State of the Union 2.001 is Elliott Sharp's curated 3-disc compilation of one-minute sound works by the avant-garde. FEQ's contribution was an interstitial outtake from the Becoming Transparent sessions. Available on zOaR Music from the Electronic Music Foundation.

The Freight Elevator Quartet Becoming Transparent. The fourth FEQ record, produced at the CMC studio during 1999 and 2000. We also released an EP single of the track "Exasperation", featuring remixes by Kit Clayton, Data'chi, and Thomas Federspiel. Both were released on Caipirinha/Sire and are out of print.

Open Ends (Musical Exploration in New York: 1960-2000). A Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) compilation to accompany their Open Ends exhibition series, this disc contains FEQ's title track from File Under Futurism. Available on Museum Music.

The Quick and the Dead (DJ Spooky Versus Scanner). We contributed some FEQ material (featuring Rachael's lovely cello playing) for the track "Guanxi" on this disc. Released on Sulfur/Sulphur, and possibly out of print now.

go.go.go (music from the Computer Music Center, Columbia University). A Columbia-released disc of pieces realized at the Columbia University Computer Music Center since its rebirth in 1995. Contains my piece "Just For The Purposes of Playing Around" as performed by the Freight Elevator Quartet live at Miller Theater in 1997. MP3's of the entire record are available online.

File Under Futurism (DJ Spooky versus the Freight Elevator Quartet). FEQ's album-length collaboration with Paul D. Miller, featuring a four-movement/multi-constructive title track as well as some FEQ live pieces and a few studio works from 1999. A 12" EP single was released as well with two really excellent remixes by A Guy Called Gerald. Both were released on Caipirinha/Sire and out of print, though the CD album is easy to find in "used" circulation.

This Is Jungle Sky, Vol 6: Funk. Features a single dance mix of "File Under Futurism". Released on Liquid Sky on double-CD and double-album vinyl; out of print.

The Freight Elevator Quartet's Jungle Album. FEQ's first "studio" album contains much of our best work. Recorded in 1997 and 1998, the record contains a lot of fun, tongue-in-cheek, plunderphonic material; no one is spared: the "Art Test" guy, Steve Jobs, everyone is fair game. Features a lot of our wonderful collaborators from our first year as a touring band. A few CDs are still in distribution by the EMF.

The Freight Elevator Quartet. The first Freight Elevator Quartet record, taken from our first year of shows with the original "classic" instrumentation lineup. Distributed by the EMF.
