Bobby Bray + Bryan Oczkowski = Pure Data Machine
[“We decided we wanted something that doesn’t exist,” Bobby Bray (The Locust), a student of interdisciplinary computing and the arts at UCSD, says at the Camel’s Breath Inn in Mission Valley. “So we rolled up our sleeves and made it ourselves.”The Pure Data Machine, a collaboration with Bryan Oczkowski of Batwings, is a customizable effects controller based on an open-source program called Pure Data. The box of knobs, switches, lights, photocells, and a joystick runs off of a thumb drive, so data is easily exchanged and modified. The apparatus was recently unveiled during the Experimental Guitar Show at Soda Bar.“It can be argued that sound and timbre metaphorically symbolize thoughts and feelings that cannot be explained otherwise via language,” Bray says. “If you believe that to be true, then you are going to become reliant upon effect companies to define what you can communicate.”]

Originally published in the San Diego Reader. Nov. 17, 2010.
[“That whole Chilean-miner story was weird for me,” Batwings singer/keys/bassist Robert Lopez relates in the band’s Mission Valley practice space. “It’s this feeling of being stuck and told you can’t get out. A lot of our lyrics in the past have revolved around El Centro desert and being kinda stuck.”]
