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

Review. Reflect.
Reviewing sessions away from the DAW or even a screen is so useful. I document every meaningful bit of progress, as well as trying to capture my thoughts on how I feel about the work. It’s where the real work happens now; the recording session is the factory floor. That’s not really where the ideas…

The Holotype: Update
That blog post from May 19th was the first attempt at getting back on with making the album, which I’m current’s calling The Holotype. It was a bit of a muddled start, but it led to me sharing some experiments, nothing super focused. I once again took a breather, for fear of trashing new songs…

Recording, Capturing, Moving.
I’m still making things. Things you listen to. Things you listen to that are made in a computer. It makes less and less sense. Making music with computers can be – for me, at least – incredibly frustrating. I don’t particularly enjoy using electronic devices screens with screens. In fact I find it really annoying…

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…
