Beautiful day under the sun and letting mixes of new music drift to me under this tree behind my house. I hope the light is finding you where you are and that you know that you are vast, powerful and loved. Hugs to you all. ❤️

Today brought to you by open tunings and feedback fed through multiple reverbs. Know that you are magic and don’t let anyone take that from you today. Love and hugs to you all.

Spending some time listening to mixes of new material and sitting with the weight of our times. Tears for the brokenhearted. Tears for the weary. Tears for the angry. Tears for the fearful. Tears and gentleness in a time when empathy and compassion are referred to as weakness. I’ll take empathy over brutality any day.

Hope everyone is taking care of themselves as the year wraps up. In the 90s, I started a tradition of making cassettes for friends at Christmas, then CDs and now streaming links for anyone who wants to listen to some music that guided me through the year. Remember that you are beautiful, you are vast, you are loved. Hugs to you all!

Breath work with modular synth.

Thanks for listening to these things I create. Grateful for you all. The world is full of chaos and intentional division. Everything is made up. Money, government, business, the economy. But what isn’t made up is the fact that we all eat, drink, laugh, and cry. I think if we can do more of those things together, then the absurdities of the previous list will lose their power to divide. You are beautiful. You are vast. You are loved. Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Kwanzaa!

I completed another lap around the sun. I was grateful to spend it making noise and working on some fun creative things with students in my community. I look forward to another feral year of sound, food, nature, community and carrying what I've learned over the previous 12 months into the next lap. You are powerful. You are vast. You are not politics. You are not left. You are not right. You are we. I am we. We are radiant beyond measure if we are not conned into believing otherwise. Love and hugs to you all and may our paths cross along this next round through the solar system.

Observations from my time recording in the Mojave Desert:

The desert mirage – often depicted as water out ahead of someone who is lost. But the concept of a mirage has more to do with objects of our desire conjured by our imaginations when left to their own devices. Anything we choose to chase after can be an illusion, a specter that disappears when we get close. The important thing is to recognize what they are and keep walking.

Landers from 3hz is available on Bandcamp and streaming.

Surprise new EP out today. These modular synth pieces are inspired by my experience of Great Lakes winters. The tracks first appeared on the Phantom Circuit podcast/radio show in the winter of 2023. I thought it would be nice to have them available somewhere so they weren't lost to time.
