    Nina Danino asked if I’d be interested in contributing music to her new film Venice. That collaboration took a hundred twists and turns from blues rock to EDM, and now one possible version is available for you to hear. Read more

    Hotfoot finally put out our album in January but I’d swear we had this show booked before it was even written. Nathan’s 50th birthday is in a couple weeks which means the end of his 12 Records Towards 50 project is nearly upon us. I should have gotten him a cake, but I guess a… Read more

    Beginning with last year’s Translation Has Failed album No Duality, Nathan Hubbard’s been on a tear releasing one album per month in the lead-up to his fiftieth birthday in May, ranging from free jazz to doom metal to music for large percussion ensemble, all reflective of “an overflowing archive and dreams of legacy,” as Hubbard… Read more

    I started the year with no greater plans than a set at the Brown Building alongside Amy Cimini and Sean Jones playing my songs for voice and cello.

    Ryan asked me to play this show and the very next day had to back out upon realizing he’d double-booked himself to sit in with Swing Kids in LA the same night. Obviously I wasn’t going to begrudge him taking the bigger gig, but it did leave the question: how the hell do you play… Read more

Thought:

“I don’t like provocation because I take no pleasure in provoking people. You have to enjoy provocation to do it, and I don’t. I always approach situations with curiosity, and sometimes my curiosity might make me audacious. But the motivation for my curiosity is never the desire to provoke.”
