"I have gone into the outer darkness of scientific and philosophical transactions and proceedings, ultra-respectable but covered with the dust of disregard.  I have  descended into journalism.  I have come back with the quasi-souls of lost data.  They will march."           - Charles Fort, 1919

In 2006 Penumbra Music released a set of three 7" singles collectively titled  LOST DATA.   All six sides featured new  solo compositions performed by Hal Rammel on  the amplified palette.
 

In 2007 LOST DATA expanded into an ensemble project exploring the manipulation of palette-generated sounds in small group improvisation.  Participants in the LOST DATA Project have included John Corbett, Jon Mueller, Lou Mallozzi, and Jim Schoenecker in performances at Corbett vs. Dempsey (Chicago), Woodland Pattern Book Center (Milwaukee), Elastic (Chicago), and the Haggerty Museum of Art (Milwaukee).
