1. Hand Held Music - David Talento
In late 2001/ 2002 David Talento started performing an experimental show using a Palm Pilot with midi sequencing software. This show used software from Minimusic.com to make a wide variety of ambient, polyrhythmic, and experimental sounds and music. Also used and worked into these sets was the Nanoloop Nintendo gameboy synthesizer. This show was entirely improvised each performance and played everywhere from underground warehouses to the Seamus conference in Iowa, to multiple performances at the 2002 Fringe Festival in Philadelphia.
These MP3s are taken from the new HandHeld Music CD . which contains four studio tracks and a full live performance from Sept 2002.
3. Muscle Factory -
Muscle Factory is a live performance band. There are no official studio recordings yet but here's a rough excerpt that captures some of the mayhem and energy of the live show.

This track is an excerpt taken from Music For Isolation Tanks Live

Isolation Tanks Live

Slowaway
Back in the mid 1990s MFIT played a few coffeehouse shows doing a mostly
beat oriented 'techno" type of set. of course there was still a lot of
experimentation involved and many guest musicians' joined in on the fun.
Many of these live recordings have been remastered and released on the
Caffeine CD.
Here's a single track full of weird analog goodness. It's a typical but
then again so is every other track on the album.
Wearing
a Harsh Hat
Two unreleased live tracks taken from the MFIT shows at the 2001 Fringe Festival. These feature polyrhymic beats and ambient drones combining both sides of the Music For Isolation Tanks oeuvre:

it Old School - Long live Future Retro!
You want MORE????

Both feature heavily processed freaknoise, beats, and loops similar
but different (as always!) to the CDs Live @ Electrolust and Live
@ the Foundation.
MFIT Live Set One - Is a bit slower and strange. This section is from the middle to end of the first set.
MFIT Live Set Two - Showcases the noisy beat driven mayhem that ended the show.

7. Sweeping The Noise Floor -
This track is from the Sweeping the Noise Floor Sample and Hold
EP. It also appears on the Electronic Music Project CD and showcases
the more experimental side of Help Wanted Productions bands.
New Track from upcoming 2006 album
This is the first studio STNF track in years. The sample here is mono and in MP3 format to make it an easy download ( the album tracks are in stereo and much higher quality.)
The new album is quite a ride of Ambient/experimental music and a mixture of modular and wavetable instrumental synthesis.
