Help a brother out (Jacob took the Monotonix pictures and was going to contribute to our site as well), if you have any leads it was stolen from the media tent, which means it was probably one of the many bloggers walking in or out of there…
Our contributing photographer, Jacob Gonen, lost his camera equipment (see content below) at the Treasure Island Music Festival this past Saturday, October 17th. His equipment was last seen at the Media Tent between 6 and 6:30 p.m. Sadly, this incident not only affects Jacob, but also CoS as we now have no photographs from last weekend’s festivities.
Let’s see if we can at least help Jacob out though. If you have any information pertaining to the whereabouts of the follow items, please email us. If you’d like to do so anonymously, you use this form.

Black Dice are some of most creative electronic musicians out there and the gear they use is very important in the creation of their unique brand of experimental music. Their sound relies primarily on sampled sounds and extensive use of effects pedals. Aaron uses an Akai MPC sampler augmented by various effects pedals including a Boss PS-5 pitch shifter. Bjorn uses a custom-made sequencer/filter built into a case emblazoned with the band’s initials which he then runs through an Electro Harmonix Poly Chorus. For his guitar, he uses a Gibson Les Paul put through a Boss DD-5 delay, a PS-5 pitch shifter, and a Zvex Wooly Mammoth fuzz. Eric uses an 8 track recorder and a mini-disk player put through a Boss PS-5 and a Digitech Synth Wah. Black Dice also acknowledge that they use a lot of bizarre sounds such as those made by broken tape decks or by putting a contact mic on a champagne bucket. They also have a new album out April 7 entitled Repothat you should check out.
