Bobby Worrest #8.


"In my Long Beach days living with Rodent, he started making 'music' via modular synth, which is a bunch of weird robot noises. One time he spent an entire afternoon making a 'song' comprised of static and a gut-rumbling bass tone. It started giving me anxiety and I asked him, 'Dude, how can you tolerate that type of sound?' He replied, 'Honestly, this is the only thing that relaxes me!' Rodent is a trip."

Bobby describes the music making exploits of skateboard photographer Eric "Rodent" Cheslak. Rodent has released tapes, but they appear to be sold out. Some of his songs have been used in Toy Machine videos.
