Music Discovery: Playlists, Engagements, and Getting Played
With a new album literally on the presses, one thing that’s been on my mind a lot is how to get The burden of Irrational Optimism to the ‘right’ ears. And yes, the right ears – I’m well aware that the music I write has an intended audience, it’s that audience I’d like to connect with. But, […]
New soundcloud release and album announcement 11/24/18
Well, hello folks. When was the last time we spoke? Yea… it’s been a few months, hasn’t it. The last thing I posted was the talk I gave on synaesthetics; I’m very proud of this, you should check it out if you’ve ever got 50 minutes to burn expanding your mind. Since then, what’s been […]
The Synaesthetic Perspective
Well, hello. It’s been a while hasn’t it? My records indicate… April of 2018 (it is presently september). Wow, what a long time to have pass without a word. Well, it hasn’t been that silent if you’re following me on the facebooks (or twitter), but you’re right; I haven’t blogged in a very long time. What […]
Impedance – Authors Notes
Hey everyone – the record is done. Just waiting for mastering now, and well, I have to push a few more buttons to make everything ‘happen’. And then, that’s that.

Good morning everyone. It’s a sunny Thursday morning here in Berkeley, CA and I’m on my winter work break. This means lots of music and particularly slow mornings. Soyrizo & eggs in hand, I now embark upon this blog post with you, and a recently microwaved scone. At the end of a year, one thing […]

Terminal Update: November 2017
Terminal Update: November 2017 Well, hey there folkies, how’s it going? As per our usual (I’ve noticed I say this almost every time), it’s been a damn long time since any kinda formal update.

Terminal Update: July 2017
Hey everyone – as per usual… it’s been a while. And as per usual… I’ve been doing stuff. I feel like I started the last post this very same way. I’m also too lazy to look it up and find a new way to start this particular post. Thanks for dealing with it! So, what […]
Terminal Update: May 2017
Hot damn folks, it has been a minute and I have been busy. So much to report on… so much learned. I suppose one of the problems of having a lot to tell you is… well, it’s hard to know where to start. Maybe we’ll just have to go back to the specific lessons another time […]
