Today I’m releasing an an EP of three tunes that I recorded over the past month. It’s a thematic extension to the the one I made in 2017 just before I moved to New York called What Time Does the Shock Arrive at the Top of the Pipe? The title of that work references a … Continue reading

UW Madison Guest Lecture
My good friend and former Sonar Mellowship bandmate Dr. David Ehrlich asked me if I’d contribute to the neuroscience class he was teaching at UW Madison entitled, “Music and the Brain.” The topic was creativity, improvisation, and algorithmic generation of music. It made for some fascinating research, and I learned a lot about both the … Continue reading
Piles of Rags to Love and Cherish
I released an album today that I’ve worked on for a year and a half, off-and-on. Continue reading
What Time Does the Shock Arrive at the Top of the Pipe?
During my first few days of unemployment, I wrote/mixed/mastered a quick 3-song release with 1 original (Melt Glass) and two covers (Mehmet Ali Ağca by Self Defense Family; Savings by Lungfish). It’s called “What Time Does the Shock Arrive at the Top of the Pipe?” and is available for free download on the Holistic Wellness … Continue reading
Look Into the Void and See
When I made this 9-tile multimedia project a year and a half ago I never linked to it here. I used a tinkered version of Google’s Deep Dream to create some meditations on the fullness of space and sound. https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/lookintothevoidandsee/ Continue reading

Here’s a clear sign that I follow Self Defense Family a little TOO closely
I just realized this now. Compare: This upcoming SDF 7″ and the EP I made last month. I wrote my EP with no knowledge of the Self Defense songs. The lyrical and thematic content of “Alan” is eerily similar to the track titles on my EP and the general feeling of the third song. The cover … Continue reading
I’m Having a Great Deal of Difficulty Processing the Cruelties of our History
I wrote a new album (well, an EP, really) earlier this month, my first since Tensor Tympani in late 2012. I feel good about having proper music production tools now, and I am in awe of what can be done with Logic Pro X. It’s called “I’m Having a Great Deal of Difficulty Processing the … Continue reading
