June Newsletter

Happy Final Day of June!

Just a few things to report in this brief newsletter revival.  How have you all been?  Good?  I’m glad to hear it!

Audiobulb Records recently released a free label sampler of past and upcoming releases that features a track from my last album Middlemarch.  Also featured are a stellar collection of tracks from Jimmy Behan, Biosphere, Ultre, Craque, NQ, Mark Harris, and Hans van Eck of the Schreck Ensemble.  It’s a free high-res mp3 download and you can find it here:

My label LuvSound also recently featured a recording of a trio performance by myself, Nick Sanborn (Polyvinyl), and Jim Schoenecker (Crouton Music, Table of the Elements) from a 2007 performance at Milwaukee’s Hotcakes Gallery.  Dense drones from guitars, laptops, rhodes, and other electronics.  You can find it here:

I also recently completed some music with Jonathon Roberts and Bryan Teoh (Always Tokyo, 8bit bEtty) which we wrote for a dance piece called The Basics choreographed by Justina Gaddy at the Merce Cunningham Studios.  It was the first time Jon and Bryan and I had collaborated together since we all lived in Wisconsin, and it felt great!  I did the electronic farts, Bryan played cello, and Jon sang and played piano.  Justina’s choreography was an incredible inspiration to us and we’re hoping of doing more together in the future.

There are a few fun things planned for the future - my next full length record will be out on Ian Hawgood’s excellent Home Normal imprint next year, as well as a special project on Audiobulb Records which will feature a gaggle of friends and colleagues.  But more on that later!

The redone Flushnik space (my new home and an arts co-op started by Bryan Teoh and Jon Roberts) is starting to come together! We had our first performance only hours after the newly refinished floors had dried, and tonight will follow with a film screening of new work by INDEX artists. I’m enjoying the excitement of helping out with Flushnik goings-on, and getting my own living and office spaces set up here a bit today. On a barely related note, if you’re looking for some excellent composed drones, check out the new Jimmy Behan disc on Audiobulb records. Perfect static-y sculpted sound, made my morning.
