Perhaps you too were affected by David Berman’s passing. This piece is, in part, how I’m dealing with his suicide.

I never met him, but I know a bunch of folks who were part of his life. We had other commonalities. He was someone I assumed I might cross paths with someday.

I commit this music to his memory.

Marbles sending voltages to Mangrove and 3 Sisters then into the Morphagene. Lots of fun.

Korg iPolysix into fabfilter, into 1/4" tape, into bit reduction.

Norns is quickly becoming my favorite end-of-chain guitar processor. Cranes, Bounds, Otis, MLR, all over this track.

(Nod to @okyeron- the word “fates” has been stuck in my head as of late, no doubt due to that thread…)

This year’s acousmatic piece:

featuring tiny sounds, heavy granular action, crotales, rediscovered sounds from years ago recorded to MiniDisc™ using earbuds as microphones, a party in a park, scraped (drum)skins, unheard voices foretelling what happened, a desert field, —

I compiled this release of modular improvisations that I created over the past couple of years. Mainly Ciat-Lonbarde, Serge, Buchla, Mutable and BugBrand. Spent the better part of the last five years feeling unsettled and migrating from one system to another, learned a lot through this process and found my own way of integrating my practice into each format. Free d/l ~ pay what you want.

Made a short performance video (filmed by @Angela) showing off some of the “turntable snare” stuff I’ve been worked on. Also filmed an explanation video too.

I did my first solo performance with my modular setup yesterday at Les Digitales, Bern

I was quit nervous and sadly rushed the first part. I tried to look at the recorder’s clock to avoid rushing but got caught in the (awesomely good) moment and damn, at some point I realized that I was too far away in the progression. And also anecdotally my delay module just stopped working for a whole minute during the show.

Quit exciting though and I’m really looking forward to reiterate the experience.

I decided to toss up a live set from around a year ago. It was the first solo set I played since my band broke up. I was just beginning to process a lot of hurt and sadness, so I couldn’t really revisit the music until recently. Now that I’m in a much more positive place, I feel comfortable sharing what ended up being the very beginning of a musical journey that has taken me to a lot of new places in a short time. These songs no longer reflect my current sound, but are a document of the early stages of healing and growth.
