Last year I embarked on an exploration of the Percussa Audiocubes, a MIDI controller designed to add visual feedback to performance and free the user from the computer when working with electronic music (or any other kind of music/audio). This year, Bert Schiettecatte, creator of the cubes, has upgraded them to ...
NodeBeat is a generative music app. I first learned about this app at the electro-music festival in 2012 from LuxSeeker, another electro performer. Like many generative apps, NodeBeat is a bit abstract, and takes some getting used to. Half the fun is exploring the interface. What do we mean by ...
The peer pressure one feels when it comes to gadgets today is pretty bad. Add to that the additional coolness factor and creative potential of various musical gadgets, today’s musician feels additional marketing pressure. Some may even be shocked that I am only a recent convert to the iPad. ...
Orphion is a bit like an electronic Hang Drum or Zen Tambour. One key difference is that Orphion has many more physical layouts that provide a different interaction with the instrument than could be achieved with a single physical instrument (if you could afford one).

I offered a Reason 6 workshop on Friday, performed two new Percussa AudioCubes pieces on Saturday evening, and did a collaboration set with Robert Dorschel on Sunday as RoDoJede. Photos ...

The show features a range of electronic and electro-acoustic material starting from my early 4-track experiments right up to the most current concoctions using programs like Acid Pro, Garage Band, Propellerhead Reason, Ableton ...
Fricknadorable (yes, that is really how we spell it) is my Americana duo with my wife Audra. Back in 2010 Audra picked up a ukulele in a music store and learned a few chords on the spot. Since then, she has amassed an impressive selection of songs using her already well-trained ...

One of the highlights of 2012 so far was our trip to New York to see Björk at the Roseland Ballroom on March 2. I’ve been listening to Björk for years, as a sort of guilty pleasure that not many understand. Bjork has been on my stereo a lot more ...
