Adam Diller and I have been collaborating on music for around ten years now.  Our mutual friend Billy Mintz introduced us in Seattle.  Since that meeting we've done all kinds of crazy shit.  We've Kamikaze-ed the streets of Seattle and NYC. We've done cross-country tours. We've recorded under freeway underpasses, train switching yards, (the band was BNSF with Jason Anderson    http://www.thrilljockey.com/catalog/index.html?id=102116--more on that band in posts to come)and two million gallon underground cisterns (http://www.lineimprint.com/editions/cd/line_024/).  There's more, maybe I'll post later...

In 2007 we lived together in a little carriage house in Brooklyn.  It was a shithole.  But, we did LOTS of work there.  And, we LEARNED lots there too.  We steeled ourselves on how the fuck we were going to make a music that was interesting, had solid integrity and didn't alienate anyone.  We were both absolutely SICK of the avant-guarde cognoscenti sniffing at our asses every time we played someone's uptight gallery or dedicated "performance space."  Absolute fucking hack, all that shit.  Besides, music is for PEOPLE, and as far as I understand it people equals everyone.

I play music as a service to human beings.  My intent is to cleanse and heal.  Firstly myself; then others who can appropriate the music for their own benefit.  I'm not going to speak for Adam, but I know and feel that the music we create together is a work for All.  The colors, timbres, rhythms, melodies and harmonies are designed for movement.  Even a negative reaction is still movement.  And movement is energy.  And energy is good.

If you're so inclined to peep out our music, make sure you give every release a try.  They're all different and designed to be there own little cinematic realities.  Try this:  download any of the records, put the album on your flash-drive or cd  or cassette( Go, Williamsburg!)  and go for a drive.  The music will be trans-formative. I have done several cross-country trips while listening to 2010.  I'm not sure how, but the music will somehow become the perfect soundtrack to your trip.  Try it.  Let me know how it works for you.

Here are a couple videos that Adam made for some tracks of 2010.  They are relevant to the music and our changing times.  Enjoy them shits.
