New Website! Making records and making change

May 13, 2015

Sup y’all! Welcome to the new home-on-the-web for all things Dot Levine!

I’ve been working hard in the studio to finish the mixing for Eliot Klein’s epic masterpiece, Dreams in Cryogenic Fugue. It’s been two years in the making and it’s just about done! I couldn’t be more pleased or excited.

In more personal news, I’ve been training hard to do some long bike tours! The next time you see me perform around the country, I may have gotten there by bike! Wish me luck!

With love,
Dot

Paradigm shift. Here we go.

This is a Gergo keyboard by GHeavy Industries, built from a kit, running steno software, Plover.

You can take me out, but you can't take the leaves out of my nose, which I put there in the restaurant because I'm a pretty full-grown lady who deserves luxurious natural adornments. #naturalbeauty #naturalcosmetics #pyramidscheme

Have you ever wanted to see me play with a child? That sounds really wholesome and nice. Come see me make music tonight with this child pictured here. It's been twenty-five years since this picture was taken and Frank's finally ready for tonight's show. @tilted.head was born for this gig.

How do you fix an amplifier? Honestly, if you don't know: You open it up and (without electrocuting yourself) bang it around with a (non-conductive) chopstick until something starts making too much noise.

I just "repaired" my homemade amplifier for tomorrow night's show. I opened it up, smushed an eating implement around in it, and it inexplicably started working normally, so I put it back together. Get to the show early, because it will probably stop working at some point during the show.

8-11. No cover. Fiume. Incredible quintet + special guests. Incredible drinks.
