Featured Guest

Writing music since the mid 90s, 8cylinder started Thac0 Records in 2005 releasing the likes of Somatic Responses, Xanopticon, and Prometheus Burning. As a member of BxC collective he helps organise off-kilter electronic music events in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Throughout the early 2000s he circuit bent old toy keyboards and programmed a handful of Game Boy audio programs to use during his live performances (the Game Boy programs are still available on his site for anyone to use). A self confessed synth geek, he’s a co-host of the SysEx Dumpster podcast, with Nick Breinich and Greg VanEck.

In 2010 8cylinder began releasing 10” records of his own material through Unmapped North, the most recent EP of which – The Language Of Nerves Spoken In A Crude Dialect – was released back in July. It’s four tracks of cello and electronica, and sounds fantastic.
