@davidlangmusic ‘s “note to a friend” really shows his genius in composing libretti. It’s all based on a letter Ryūnosuke Akutagawa wrote to a friend explaining why he was going to commit suicide. The resultant character is overly self aware, quirky, dark, funny, and kind parochial at times. I don’t think there is or could be a better artist to vocally realize this character than the inimitable @theobleckmann. Meanwhile the @attaccaquartet brings ferocity to even the most delicate moments. I could say more but it’s all right there in the recording.

I’m honored to have helped out @iamkelseylu with her multi-movement video piece “this is a test”. Most of the footage was shot live from @theshedny. It was the first set of performances there since the onset of the pandemic. I feel all of that ambivalent pandemic energy in this piece: the regenerative and destructive stages of both closing and opening.Besides Lu’s diehard artistry, this piece is evidence of how beautiful collective effort can be in times of difficulty.
The video is open to the general public until February 1. You can find it on the “YouTube”.

@catherinebrookman ‘s LP “ if a song fades out, it’s playing forever somewhere” has been out for a lil bit and I hope yall will listen. The album is warm tone piece focused on Nature, Heartbreak, and Portals; for example, when we’re in experiencing deep hurt a shower can be a portal to a mountain.

I was able to see this baby from conception to walking out the door and do so with some of my favorite people. Thank you everyone involved for your true hearts.

Nathan Schram and Shahzad Ismaily released “a moon stands blank above” a mediation on loss. I was able to record, produce, mix, and master this piece which was a labor of love with some dear friends (@lesterst.louis, @elliotcole, and @matt_evans_online included). I hope people take 35 minutes during a train ride, a walk, at an airport or staring into the void of their eyelids at home, and listen to this one like a short film. Actually, Nate made a short film for it which I also hope people watch but with their eyelids open staring at the void of a screen!

I’ve had the pleasure to work with Ezra in a number of different musical contexts and see this tireless songsmith+synthsmith+gearsmith+friendsmith at work. These lilting bangers are sturdy and sad and quirky and candy. Don’t sleep(or talk) through this one plzzzzz. artists: EZ Companyalbum: EZ Companymastering: @boltonsound

My mini album ~ You made me Not the same ~ is out.I hope you’ll love her.

The cover art came about as an intersection between a small self portrait I drew as a dare (most of which you can’t see) and the avatar type creature in this photo I use. Imprint meets projection. This album feels like it’s about owning that space.

Sending big love and thank yous to @christopherbotta and @puttingitonwax for making her snatched w me. 💕

Sending out big love and thanks to my fav engineer ~mixer escape hatch @christopherbotta and another thank you for the brilliant mastering @puttingitonwax. ✨help making everything sparkle …Dolly’s outa the box.
