Combing through the archives today & found one of my favorite pics from a past shoot with the inimitable Desirea Still.

Here’s a brand new piece that Katie and I performed at the most recent Echo Society show in DTLA.

A few moments from the new video we made for Son Lux. Nathan spent weeks hand-animating with countless pins, endless thread, and infinite patience.

Hey folks… Here’s a new piece I wrote for the Echo Society’s most recent show. It features a 12-piece ensemble of strings, harp, brass, and percussion along with samples and Ms. Faux Fix & me on dueling vocals.

Just finished a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" in collaboration with Richie Kohan & Scorebird Music. It ended up on the new tv trailer for Nightcrawler!

So excited for this film!

Leaving New York.

We just spent the last few months in this crazy, magical city. And although I'm definitely not one for cold weather, our cozy Williamsburg apartment was the perfect place to hole up and write for the next Faux Fix record. We're excited about these new songs & excited for them to see the light of day... soon :)

Son Lux and Faux Fix celebrating after The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. Ryan did a great job on the score and invited us to collaborate with him on a few original songs. News just came in that the Weinstein Company picked up the film so you’ll be able to see (and hear) it soon!
