Album cover for Saxsquatch & Bridge Band's final album "Perigee." Orbiting bodies are closer than ever before. Strange cosmic forces can be felt on the surface, on the skin. Friendly spirits, distantly anchored to formative memories and their settings, are encouraged to play freely across the cityscape. It's a fun town to honk around in and nobody honks here more than the Squatch. The Band is under the Bridge at this point but the sound still echoes between the buildings. Inspiration for this work includes the record itself, Taro Gomi illustrations, drawings by my kids, and the city of Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Hydrangea Dogs is a new synth project with good friend Bryan Hitchcock (The Pen Test, Material). Our first album "Flower of Dog" is now streaming in all the usual places. "Hydrangea Dogs combine expansive modular synth patches with cheap warm analog melodies and sonorously droning squarewaves. Rhythmic processing propels enthusiastic bounding through pastoral, feathery patterns that interlock and shift underfoot. Wistful chords swell and sparkle with chimes and glinting reflections in the periphery. These are active and playful Dogs who need frequent exercise. The project is an affectionate celebration of electronics, sentiment, memory, and open-eyed exploration."
