Digital Downloads Update
(Monday, June 2, 2008)
Andre's music can now be purchased as digital downloads from iTunes, Amazon.com, and CD Baby.
Performances from my New York City gig at The Monkey on January 19th of this year are now available for free download - click here to listen.
The looping article I was featured in a few months ago is now available at Guitar Player magazine's web site - click here in read it.
The new issue of Guitar Player includes a very fine and in-depth feature on looping, written by Barry Cleveland. I'm delighted and honored to have been interviewed for the article, which gives me some extremely generous coverage - huge thanks to Barry, and the GP staff in general.
Three new additions to the music section, complete with ordering information and commentary from yours truly: the Yogi remix project half-pint demigod; a live album from Chris Opperman, Beyond The Foggy Highway; and the Derailed soundtrack album.
half-pint demigod, the music of Shawn "Yogi" Farley remixed by Andre LaFosse, and the "missing album" created between Disruption Theory and Normalized, has finally been released, over three years after its completion.
It's not an "Andre LaFosse" album in the strictest sense of the word - I didn't contribute any guitar playing, or Echoplex work - but it's far more than just a "remix album." It's by far the most elaborately-produced and conceptually-complex release I've ever done, and I'm very proud of the work on this CD.
The album is available now, in advance of its "official" December 6 release date, from Wonky Records. For listeners unfamiliar with Yogi's music, half-pint demigod can be purchased together with Any Raw Flesh?, the album it was produced from, as a specially-priced pair.
Read the press release and track-by-track commentaries for half-pint demigod here, and stay tuned for additional notes on the album's creation.
As (extreme) luck would have it, my guitar playing and looping has ended up as part of the soundtracks to two different films opening this fall:
Check back soon for more information, including details about the recording sessions and the final results.
New York City public radio station WNYC had me on for an episode of New Sounds, featuring host John Schaeffer, for some in-depth discussion and live in-studio performances (as well as cuts from David Torn and Robert Fripp). The program is archived online here:

My first full-length article in the national media appears in the September 2004 issue of Electronic Musician, available at newsstands all over the country. The profile discusses the technical issues behind the recording, mixing, and mastering of Normalized.
A new interview is up, featuring some excellent questions from writer Jedd Beaudoin (and some typically long-winded answers from yours truly), along with new CD reviews from Sea of Tranquility and Expose'.
Frames. New album documentary. Blog. And other things. (Including a lot of sleep, hopefully.) We hope you enjoy our new direction.
