Hello friends,

As the temperature finally dips below 70, we're harvesting the onions from our garden, the squirrels are stealing all the peaches from our peach tree, and I am writing with news of some releases that I hinted at in my last appearance in your inbox:

Fall music:

• October 21 will see two (!) releases that I recorded, mixed, and mastered be unleashed the world. I am immensely proud of both of these projects, which were recorded at my home in Troy, NY.

  • Sophia Subbayya Vastek's album In Our Softening. The first single comes out this Friday, September 9! Pre-order the album here. Join Sophia's newsletter to learn more about the album.

  • Georgia Beatty's album Apprentice to Transformation. Take a read through the attached PDF to learn more about the album (and for a very nice insight from Georgia into my approach to audio engineering).

• November 4 will see the release of Derrick Michaels' solo saxophone album, which I mastered. It was recorded live in Baltimore, and mixed by Derrick.

Hello friends!

I'm dropping into your inbox with a couple quick updates!

First two shows:

• Next Wednesday (August 24) I will be in NYC with Yarn/Wire at Time:Spans! We will perform Tonband, by Enno Poppe and Wolfgang Heiniger, which we recorded in 2017 at EMPAC in Troy, NY (that recording residency is part of the reason I now live in Troy). That recording was released on German label Wergo last year, and is available here. Tonband is a rare, truly wild piece of music that I am very excited to get to be part of once again. The stage set up is quite large, so seating will be more limited than usual. Grab a ticket before they're all gone!

• September 17 in Sharon Springs, NY, my band Turnover Mule performs at the Harvest Festival, playing mostly originals and some covers. Should be a great day!

Hello friends!

It's been a busy spring for me so far, as it has been for many of us. I traveled to Vancouver for the first time, and enjoyed a very early morning walk by the bay there (courtesy of the different time zone, and pictured above). The clouds and mountains and water are punctuated by a single file line of cargo ships entering the harbor north of the city. The rest of the day was spent in a lovely venue in downtown Vancouver with Talea Ensemble performing works with (and without) electronics.

Now I'm back in Troy, and have some exciting releases to tell you about:
