  • Brooklyn gig Saturday night

    It was fun to make this. I used the image generator in the Gemini mobile app. This prompt was “ambient music in a spacey dreamy bookstore on an alien planet.” The AI was incapable of doing text without hallucinations so I opened the image in Canva and added it manually. Here are some of the…

  • Present Sounds Brooklyn Oct 3 2024

    Such a fun gig. The smokiest room I’ve ever played in. Pitch black except for a clip-on light for my pedalboard. The crowd was listening so closely that at one point I played a clam and somebody ran out of the room in panic.

  • I am at least trying to forgive [remix]

    I did a major reset of the piece from August 11, my version of Josefin’s Waltz by Vasen, which I’m calling “I am at least trying to forgive.” It is better but still not good. The final product is more chaotic than I intended, and I don’t think I can fix that without redoing the…

    I’m enjoying the new Dream Logic album by Lee Evans/Hippies Wearing Muzzles, which he described as: I’m very excited to share my new album, Dream Logic, with you all. It’s a weird one centered around multiple experiments over the last year or so and it gets into some sonic territory my previous releases haven’t.

  • I’m at least trying to forgive grandma for being a maniac

    My mom was messed up for life by her mother’s wild rages. As an adult you learn to forgive people for being bad at adulting. Not everybody is made to be a good parent, so I should do my best to cut grandma Anne Ruth a break. Playing through this I got an image of…
