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 [...]

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 local Boston [...]

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 died or failed [...]

Awesome news. So next June (2009) I have a piece on the Chicago Symphony’s Music Now series. It will be a short-ish 10 minute chamber piece for roughly 10 instruments and a laptop. Needless to say I am very excited for it. STOKED! It’s going to be paired with Michael Ward-Bergemann’s “Three Roads” which is [...]

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 involved [...]

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 infects [...]

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 look [...]
