January saw me travelling for a quick bit, for two things. First off, was the world premiere of my newest piece of music titled Those Eyelashes Stay With Me, a sweet little ditty for my wife. This was part of the What Next Festival in Hamilton Ontario. (Facebook is here). The festival promoters and staff [...]

Where Did 2008 Go?
12.03.08 | Permalink | Comment?

No, seriously? The last thing I remember was saying “I Do” in June.
So what has happened since then? Well, I went to Hawaii and lived on the ocean for two weeks. Then I did some consulting work. In October I rocked some Olga Bell Supernovas at Bard College and rekindled a love affair with bowed [...]

Keepalive set at Newbury Comix
09.03.08 | Permalink | Comment?

So, Newbury Comix is turning 30 (i think) and I’m playing a laptop set at their Stoughton/Avon, MA store. My Brother-in-law happens to be the manager there, so I’m heading out to play a set of my slow-core drone stuff. I’ll be hitting it with fellow villain and Zer0GSounds labelmate Todd Gys and [...]

Soundcloud and Facebook

So as a guy that has spent the better part of the last 20 years in front of a computer, I get a little tired of things coming and going. IUMA was supposed to change the world. MP3.com was supposed to be the end all and be all. These things have either [...]

Ayre tour finishes and it’s on to Ainadamar in Philadelphia
03.06.08 | Permalink | Comment?

Yet another round of goodbyes wrapped up the most recent Ayre tour.
It’s always hard to say goodbye to the incredible people that I spent the last two weeks with. I have learned so much from them and love every moment spent making fun of ourselves, etc. I feel very lucky to have been [...]

Ayre tour kicking total ass
02.24.08 | Permalink | Comment?

So having just finished the first leg of the Ayre tour with the Orquestra Los Peligrinos or Marranos or whatever we’re called on a specific day, I can say truthfully that I love my job. Music has always brought me happiness, but it seems to keep getting better and I believe that the happiness [...]

High School Kids Are Awesome
02.01.08 | Permalink | Comment?

So I went To Teddy Roosevelt High School in Albany park, Chicago today to do a quick little “masterclass” of sorts.
I went out with Gonzalo Grau, the Percussion player from the opera I’m here doing. We had a great time explaining Flamenco music to these kids and showing them what it’s like to [...]
