"Loop Dots and Needle Drops" is an experimental live performance using solely 2-Technic1200 Turntables, 1-Pioneer DJM-400 mixer, a stack of 7" records, and a bunch of colored sticker dots. It was performed live in one 60 minute continuous "DJ set". Finale strategically places the stickers on the grooves of records to create his own broken record-needle skipping loops. By blending and mixing both records at once, while simultaneously applying effects and playing the mixer like an instrument, entirely new music is created. Finale utilizes his abilities of DJing, Turnatablism, Producing, and Percussion, while applying music philosophies from Jazz, Musique Concrete, Hip Hop, Dub, Ambient, and Minimalism.

TABOOGALOO BY FINALE GRAND
New "experimental jazz" album by @finalegrand “TABOOGALOO" is a collection of basement tape recordings dating back to 2014, of synthesizers, live percussion, found sounds, repurposed media, electronics, analog equipment, song demos, improvisation, jazz, and subjective experimentations with the intent to dismantle process-routine and self tradition.
This was @finalegrand 's pallet cleansing proceeding the making of his classical-form HipHop Opus "Baroque Beats" circa 2013 , and would lead him into studying traditional live drumming soon after.

Cape Blanco Mood Rings is Finale Grand’s most personal project. Inspired by some special moments spent up on the Northwest Coast of Oregon. Moody, Minimal, Lo-Fi and Introspective.
