Joe performed an ambient set at the first annual Baltimore SDIY Group electronic music festival, an all-day, all-singing, all-dancing wonderment of many musicians and delighted fans held at the Hexagon gallery/performance space on North Charles Street. With a constrained set of gear and a state of sweaty calm, Joe ran up a soothing set of improvisational ambient music, from Casio to modular. Everything you hear is done right on the spot, with no editing, prerecorded materials, or preconception (which is why there’s a glitch or two in the set, just to humble himself before the electronic music gods).
Listen to the set right here: “Live at the SDIY Fest 2009″ - 24:17

Another gig wrapped up without electrocution, tears, or other serious incidents, Joe packs up his gear for the drive home and takes a moment to show off his not-remotely-secret weapons before winding up the last of his cords and tucking Little Red into a case for the day.
