Mooey Moobau is not a band name or a stage name but more like a nickname that I use for making music. Yes, some people actually call me this. My stuff is heavy on phonetics - I write songs ruled by natural speech rhythms and melodies, and overflowing with alliterative poetry. It's influenced a lot by the Dada sound poets, and by much of the hip hop I hear on the radio right now. When I play live I also edit my voice, either with a cassette deck played like an instrument, or with realtime automatic speech recognition. Usually I also get instrument-playing friends to back me up.
