• Gnawing on the Bone now available!

  

  The upcoming releases section of this website has felt a bit like a closet in need of cleaning out.  That load has lightened as of yesterday with the digital release on Bandcamp of Gnawing on the Bone.  This is an instrumental project that was written in Watertown MA in 2011 in one sitting as a…

• Driftin’ back to Buckley

  Simon Joyner once said to me I wish I could sing like Tim Buckley, but I do what I can with what I have.  I said I felt the same way.  This morning I was looking for something irrelevant to listen to while nearing completion of Gnawing on The Bone, an instrumental project I’ve been…

• The Core is Getting Soft.10: Madrona Labs

  There are some soft synths or plug-ins I’ve bought where I could have conceivably sprung for the hardware version instead.  But there’s no way I could have ever afforded a Buchla synthesizer – until Madrona labs came out with their Aalto software synthesizer, which is inspired by the designs of Don Buchla, who invented the…

• Reckoning with early REM

  Recently I’ve been working on two projects at the same time, Gnawing on the Bone and Soy Aqui.  I usually don’t do this but have found that there is an upside to it that reminds me of the story behind the REM song Life and How to Live It.  The song is about a resident…
