GDFX
» Greg Fox, the man.

Greg Fox initiated his solo project, GDFX, so that he could "have an opportunity to experiment outside of all the other projects that I've been involved with." Apparently he had a lot of spare time to kill, what with playing in Liturgy, Teeth Mountain, Family of Love and Dan Deacon's touring ensemble, and running the record label Infinite Limbs.
He pulled an electro-Ernest Hemmingway when right before opening for Dan Friel and These Are Powers on New Year's Eve, his car was broken into and he lost all his highly technical gears, including a flash card with the samples he'd worked out for the past five years.
Fast forward to the current sample below, made recently from, well, a bunch of other gear and toys: "Korg emx-1, Roland sp555, an old hulking four track weighing nearly 20 lbs, maracas, live drums, an SPD-s sampling drum pad, my voice."
Enjoy the full 20 minute trip (entitled "Long Cord") from which the above sample was pulled here.
