I make ambient and experimental music.
I make a sandwich for DIYRE to celebrate their new Neve 1073 mic pre clone
About four years ago one of my favorite studio equipment makers said they would be releasing two coveted pieces of gear -- a SSL style bus compressor and a Neve 1073 style mic preamp. When Peterson Goodwyn of DIYRE announced this on Instagram I joked "if you do that I will buy you a sandwich."
Today is the day that I deliver on that promise.

I've gotten a lot busier with work, so I need to scale back on the informational videos. But I can't stop making music! I've been slowly working on two albums in parallel (kind of a bad idea actually) and this song came about as I was experimenting with a bunch of gear. So, while working on two albums I guess I'll end up making the equivalent of a third by the time I'm done? Anyway, I love how ...

Hey y'all it's been ages since I've posted a video. I've been busy doing my day job, recording some other bands (not electronic music) and doing some performances. This video came about because Evan and I met at a cool open mic I performed at called Resonant Frequencies (resfreq.org). We got to talking about how we were both learning our way around the Octatrack and thought it would be cool to ...

I've been traveling and working a lot this summer and it's been challenging to find the time and energy to work on music. But, while on an extended work trip to Seattle I decided to bring along this minimal setup that proved to be really inspiring. It's not a limiting setup and I got lots of fun surprises out of it and made loads of tracks. This feels like the beginnings of an album. As I was c...

I'm really busy with work and other music projects lately but still squeezing in songs. This piece started by playing around with me singing into the Yamaha VSS-200 adorable little microphone. Then I started adding layers. The main approach I took in this piece was running through the Hologram with no dry signal so that whatever I played would be audible moments later. It challenged me to use t...
Prep for Experimental/Ambient Performance | Digitakt, OP-1, Chase Bliss blooper and Warped Vinyl

Hey there, I'm back from vacay and getting ready to get out and do some performances. I'm focused on open mics for now as that's a shorter set and good way to work things out. Also let's face it, no one is asking me to do a full night of music either :) Anyway, in this video are my thoughts on how I get started performing live as well as thoughts on the value of sound design, resampling and col...

Hi everyone, I'm about to go on a long holiday so this will be the last piece I post for a while. This piece was composed by tracking long improvised tracks without any edits, just performing along to previous improvisations. The first was a piano from OP-1 (a free sample I got from somewhere) through Thermae. Through the wonders of unsynced devices the OP-1 arpeggio and the Thermae create a pi...

This track came together as a result of messing around. I do so much of this stuff where I just experiment for hours and then I listen back later and get more solid ideas. So this bit I'm sharing today came from a loop I created using the Yamaha CS-01 and the Chase Bliss Habit. As soon as I re-listened to this loop I though to myself "this needs to have a hiphop style beat." Is it a hip hop tra...

Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to do some performing and as it happens the Chase Bliss Audio Habit showed up in the post. Thought I should try some live looping jams to get ready. I love the Yamaha CS01. I already have a penchant for... what do I call them? Non-pro keyboards? Ones meant for beginners, kids, etc. Anyway, this thing sounds so huge through the CXM 1978. I'll be using this combo a...

Hi everybody. Today I'm sharing a vintage drum machine I found and some fun ways to use it to make decidedly non-vintage electronic music. This drum machine and the effects chain are just one experiment that worked out well. You never have to hear the ones that work out poorly thankfully! Anyway, I may have invented a new genre here of ambient gabber, but you let me know if you agree. Lastly, y...

Hey everyone, here's an attempt to be part of the zeitgeist. I couldn't stop myself from grabbing Habit as soon as I saw they were available. I'm still getting to know this pedal but so far it is a delight of surprises and wonder. In this video I'm just capturing my first session with it. Minimal editing, if I'm being honest. The only dipswitch I have engaged is "collect" as that idea sounded i...
