The MiniMasher is Moldover’s third bespoke jambox, iterated for a number of years before reaching its current equilibrium of simplicity, portability, and accessibility. Delighted with its final outcome, he is proudly passing it over to his long-time collaborator, interactive arrtist Rich DDT. Moldover captured this new demo video showcasing all of the jambox’s current features before letting it go.

Four Track (Acoustic) is live on all major music distribution platforms today.

The original release of “Four Track” marked a return to Moldover’s roots as a singer-songwriter, now blended with the technological innovations that have since become his musical signature. All the songs on the album were originally written with just an acoustic guitar and the artist’s voice, before going through the elaborate performance and production processes that gave Four Track its finished sound.

Reflecting back years later Moldover remarked “I found myself missing the raw and authentic character of the original demo-recordings that no one got to hear. I decided to re-record a batch of these songs in that simplified, stripped-down format, and throw in one new song to keep things interesting”. The end result is interesting indeed, and very different from anything we’ve heard from him so far. Nine songs of pure Moldover, sans technology.

A new Moldover album is dropping next week. Get a streaming preview of two songs and pre-order the whole album from BandCamp. Join Moldover’s Patreon team to get a download of the full album right now.

The Mojito is here! A new custom controller is born with help from the fantastic minds at Yaeltex. Watch the new video, download the free Mojito Ableton Live Template, and order your own (with your own optional customization if you like) from Yaeltex.

Congrats to the Yaeltex team for creating such an amazing system!

Designed by Moldover and animated by audio/visual artist B1, the official music video for Moldover’s song “Cash” is a kinetic journey through numerous unique mind-scapes where consumerism and spirituality converge. Packed with crafty satire and nostalgic absurdity, familiar images are subtly altered, flipped inside out, and mashed together in unexpected and delightfully facetious ways. Blend in some Moldover iconography, add a dose of B1’s playfully psychedelic style, and the result is this brilliantly witty commentary on capitalism’s dominance of our lives, and our world.

Citing personal reasons, Moldover has announced that he will soon be relocating his home base to Indianapolis. San Francisco has been his home for many years, and he will be greatly missed by the Bay Area creative community. What new possibilities will open as a result of this dramatic relocation? Only time will tell…

The fine folks at Polyverse Music create truly awesome music-making plugins. These tools are uncommonly good at processing audio in real time and pairing with controllers like The MC1 and The Robocaster. In this excellent profile by Terry Edelman at Hummingbird Media, Moldover talks about what makes these plugins so exceptional, and offers a few vignettes into how his music production and performance practices have evolved over the years. Read it on MikesGig.com, KVR,or  Audio & Musica (en español).
