Fluoroscopic Kid is the creation of Jeremiah Isaacs. Since 1998 he
has been creating experimental electronic music under this name
performing in Dallas, Denton, and Austin. His music incorporates
microtonal scales and odd-metered rhythms emerging from an array of
computers and hand made or modified controllers.
Based out of Austin, each performance is unique and live with
repurposed input devices or accompanied by electric bass.
Continuing his quest for the expression inherrent in acoutic
instruments, he is currently learning to use the Yamaha WX-5, a midi
wind instrument. Along with the music programming language
Supercollider, the wind controller allows him to exert a very human level
of expression over otherwise artificial and otherworldly sounds.
Jeremiah created the persona of Fluoroscopic Kid after studying
composition at University of North Texas.. The first release, the
untitled cassette EP, was a collection of found sounds, cassette to
cassette overdubbing with synthesizers and homemade noisemakers, and
snippets from television and movies. Performing in Denton at
Cosuardstockapaloozathon, cafes, Rubber Gloves, Gatti's on the square,
and private parties, he brought together an ungainly collection of
keyboards, computers, and cassette decks into an idiosyncratic live
set.
Later releases, Honkeytronica and Soft Drink Jihad (also on
Sonic therapy Records), evince a move towards an organized
and harmonic style: more refined, but still irreverent. He continues
to perform in Austin and Dallas events including Oscillate and
Crossproduct as well as having opened for Hans-Joachim Roedelius.
His music has become more pointedly experimental and continues to
waver between the sublime and the grotesque, still searching for
sounds yet unheard.
