Ice Shelf Collapse
I made this track a few years ago, and have played it live a few times, but had a bit of mixing work to do on it before releasing that I just hadn’t got around to. The material for it is from my noodling around on guitar with a Chase Bliss MOOD on one of…
Read MoreBreakers
Breakers is a B-side from my album Music For Sunsets. I really liked the track, but couldn’t figure out where it fit so it didn’t make the cut. Shortly after Israel’s genocide against Palestinians escalated in October, Yaz Lancaster, who helps run people places records, reached out to all of us on the label to see…
Read MoreMusic for Sunsets
Music for Sunsets is a twelve movement piece in the form of an album. It uses a ton of electronic music and studio equipment, field recordings, and features guest spots from Garrett Wingfield on saxes, Diana Wade on violas, and Universed (Cristina Lord) on vocals. Lewis Pesacov mixed it, Andrew Noseworthy mastered it, Traci Larson did…
Read MoreSisters (Music From Camateur)
Sisters is my soundtrack for the short film Camateur, directed by Farren Bordon. It’s available on bandcamp and all major streaming platforms. The film had been temp tracked with music from Cliff Martinez’s score for The Neon Demon, which I happen to love, so I was stoked to take on the project and pay tribute to…
Read MoreRage Piece
At the beginning of the pandemic I asked my friends to record themselves being outraged on their instruments. I got back awesome recordings from Breana Gilcher, oboe, Ethan Marks, trumpet, and Francis Roberts, synth. Then a lot of things happened that prevented me from working with the material. Now, about two years later, I’ve taken…
Read MoreSlow Earth
At the end of 2016 the electric guitar duo (h)artDrive found my piece In Ecclesia and started playing it around New York. I came out for one of the shows, and Giacomo Baldelli, one of the guitarists, asked me for a solo piece for his next record. We got together a couple months later at…
Read MoreMusic for Art Galleries
Music for Art Galleries is a catch-all name for my solo set. It’s variable, as live sets tend to be, but usually includes Barnes Ryken, Gone to the Other Shore (rearranged for guitar), On Geology, and a few other pieces, with some improvised sections for guitar. Sometimes friends join in. On May 5, for instance,…

Read MoreBarnes Ryken
I made this ambient track as a thank you for my friends Travis Barnes and Andrea Ryken, who put me up in New York for a few days in May of 2017. It’s a sonification of a photo of the two of them that Andrea sent me. It had been sitting on my hard drive…
Read MoreMix Bus 09
Mix Bus 09 is my first piece using a modular synth. All of the sounds are from an Intellijel Quadra, a Make Noise Maths, a Mutable Instruments Braids, and a Make Noise/Soundhack Echophon. The title is simply the filename from recording into a mix bus track in Pro Tools. I found it’s far more effective…
