Recorded 3-13-2013 at The Lab, SF, CA.
Contrary to what most internet searches turn up, R.K. Faulhaber is not a mysterious figure at all. For a quarter century he has been composing and recording his own music which he has managed to keep almost exclusively to
himself. Though largely self-taught, he has studied electro-acoustic composition with Barry Schrader and David Behrman at Cal-Arts, music engineering technology at Cogswell Polytechnical College and electronic music at De Anza College.
Rarely playing solo, he has performed in such ensembles as irr. app. (ext.), Xambuca, Nurse With Wound, Vacuum Tree Head and others. He has also collaborated with his sons on two shadow puppet performances. Steve Stapleton and Matt Waldron have been trying to pull him out of obscurity but have thus far been unsuccessful.
