SNEAK PEAK: New Riff!
I’ve been chugging away on my 8-string for a while, but finally made something chewy enough to share 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Hand At Emotion – As It Was Written.
Here’s a version of Hand At Emotion I shot earlier today. This is as I wrote it – long before the gloves were a thing…

The Holotype: Log II – Entry 3
Just a simple tweak to this today. I’ve added some pretty chuggy chords w/ a 7-String, and a cool little chorus pedaled arpeggio. It’s evolving; it feels like the scenery is in place now, next it needs vocals, structure… to become a song, basically.

Trent Reznor on Synth History.
This is fascinating. TR didn’t get to be synth guru through happenstance; he had a really unique position to witness the development of synths in the late 70s and 80s. It’s really interesting to hear him poke at the popularity of the DX7; it’s influenced my use of software synths a lot with my use…

Hold Your Kiss – Demo May 2019
So obviously, I’ve been super busy performing live. For 3 years. I haven’t recorded anything meaningful in years. Kinda fell out of love with it.

I’m very into physical media, vinyl being naturally the king of the physical space. It’s a beautiful thing, to put on a record, look at the sleeve…

Quote: How Music Works
I love facts like this. Mainly because they reframe concepts of what is “real” – something many musicians obsess over. There’s a popular idea that old recordings are more real, that modern recordings are full of tricks and cheats and it’s-all-done-with-computers to make them sound better. But of course; there’s nothing new about the thinking,…

When I Grow Up: Drake Music @ DaDa
In rehearsals today for DM’s evening at DaDaFest next week. DaDa is a leading organisation in disability arts, and I’ve had the pleasure of working with them before. Next week I’m performing my guitar/gloves piece, When I Grow Up (originally commissioned by Drake Music for the DM20 celebration, and supported by the PRSF’s Talent Development…
