Welcome to the home of Brian's semi-autonomous digital avatar, DJ Funken Wagnalls.

Giant Head

This is the unchopped up version of the msuic that helps smooth out the rough edges of "I'm Rachel" (see the front page or check it out on youtube, where the film loads much faster). This is a pretty big MP3 (right click and save as), about 15.2 megs for 10.5 minutes of music, so if you're trying to download this from a dial-up connection, forget about it! There's a similar, much shorter version, called "Bodhi Orange," on my acidplanet page. Both songs rely heavily on loops provided by Steve Tibbetts. Tibbetts, if you don't know his music but like innovative guitar playing (both electric and acoustic) is well worth checking out. I particularly recommend Big Map Idea and Cho, Tibbetts' collaboration with Tibetan Buddhist nun, Choying Drolma.

The DJ's professional discography consists, so far, of a remix-mashup of two songs by the Brazilian-Indian band, Atman (which is really a solo project of Victor Ruiz). The song is called "Luminous Bliss" and is on Atman's remix album, India Club & Lounge, which was released in late 2004. Emusic has just ripped the CD, so you can download just my song or the entire 2-CD album quite inexpensively.

The Cuckoo Unenclosed

Funkendub just finished a remix of Lisa DeBenedictis's song "The Cuckoo." You can find the remix here -- and check out ccmixter, a somewhat cool site for musicians interested in keeping the creative commons unenclosed.

Mindstalking

The DJ has remixed "Mindstalking" by Lunascape; you can stream a Windows Media file or download an MP3 from funkendubz acidplanet page.

Stein's Box

Here's an MP3 of "Stein's Box" for your listening pleasure. I'm not sure how to categorize this piece: is it techno? trip-hop? drum 'n' bass (without the bass)? "Stein's Box" was inspired by reading Gertrude Stein's prose-poetry, especially "A Box" in the Collected Writings of Gertrude Stein. Your humble DJ adapted Stein's words, recorded the vocal and produced the song. Get the music here (right click and save as). This song is exlusive to briancharlesclark.com.

Here's a sample of the text DJ Funken Wagnalls used in "Stein's Box": "Out of kindness comes redness and out of rudeness comes rapid same question, out of an eye comes research, out of selection comes painful cattle."

Check my Acid Planet artist's page for streaming music and more downloadable MP3s.

Check out "Futurology," an epic science fiction hip-hop song that ends in a video game. Animation by the wonderful Dave Logan.

Some of my collaborations with Cottonmouth, MC are over here.

One of my favorite musicians right now is JHNO He's an electronic keyboard wiz and also programs FX filters of Cycling73. Here's a very short clip of one of JHNO's songs (there's a few more on this site, too; check it out).
