Feb 2019:
- Continuing to examine my career trajectory closely through a Napoleon Hill lens. I know only two people who will get that reference.
- Preparing for a move to the Philly area in the next few months. Yes, we’re moving in case you hadn’t heard.
- Selling / giving away some gear from my studio as we’re downsizing. Moving to a portable rig.
- Mentoring a BU Communication Studies student in our first ever Pepperhead Studios internship.
- Recently wrapped an EP with Tanner Bingaman.
- Exploring analog synthesis.
- Preparing for Mountain Skies (NC) and EEEM (NJ) electro events.
- Current Reading:
- The Rest is Noise – Alex Ross
- Current Listening:
- Mashrou’ Leila’s album “Ibn El Leil“
These are on hold for now:
- Writing a collection of new original synth-pop songs.
- Recording raw material for a collaboration with electro-experimental artist Al Baldwin.
- Kurt Smith Collab
- Bassist Kurt Smith (from local band Shades of Charon) and I have started cowriting some material informed by our interests in philosophy. The collab has been slow-going, and our schedules don’t always match up, but I am curious to see where this goes.
- Playing bass in some projects…
- Ed Zuber Project – original rock, punk songs with guitarist/songwriter Ed Zuber and drummer Urie Kline. After a couple years of fleshing out the songs live, I think we’re ready to do some real recording.
- Bluesmobile – blues supergroup featuring Mike Hickey (guitar/voc), John Sweeney (harmonica/guitar/voc), Kurt Smith (bass), Urie Kline (drums). We’ve only had one gig, but I think we’ll play again sometime… great energy.
- Negodniki jazz ensemble for the occasional show.
- Expanding our STEM offerings.
