Thanks, as always, for supporting the music.

IN JAPAN

Back from a short trip to Japan, where I played a few concerts. I also managed to get out and record some sounds, which you'll hear in upcoming Weekly Pieces.

Bandcamp Listening Party 

Join me this Friday, May 8, at 8pm EST for a Bandcamp listening party to celebrate the release of Weird Studies Vol. 3. You’ll be able to hear the album in full before its official release on May 22, and I’ll be sharing notes about the tracks as we listen. You can RSVP by clicking here.

Hope to see many of you there.
