  Amazing. Main Sequence just put me up on this hilarious video from Warp Records. It’s a brilliant commentary on the relationship between artist and critic. I don’t want to say too much, just watch.

  Jamal Qutub of Nimpsy Studio recently used a track from my latest album, Consider The Source, for a short promo piece. Dig it!

  Wow. This is as Portland as it gets. It had to come from this tiny corner of the globe. The velosynth is a pretty awesome invention from local makers, Effalo. I’d write a custom patch that would make my bike sound like a LightCycle from Tron.

  It’s all there folks. Every last waveform soaked in the blood, sweat and tears so common to the creative process. It’s was quite the journey. It’s been 4 years since my last release and I can’t tell you how good it feels to have this one wrapped up. Infinite thanks to Kevin Robinson for the sonic love. Im beyond stoked with the fidelity. Thanks for listening and thank you for the continued support!
  
  all the best,

  Here’s the last bonus cut Im releasing before the album drops. It’s an Indo Jazz influenced stream of consciousness type of joint titled “Blowback”. Heavy drums, tons of percussion and lots of vibed out Eastern instrumentation. I really wanted this one to feel and sound seamless. Many thanks to Mr. Jeigh for the “crate assistance” on this track. Whenever I got stuck, he came through with HEATERS!
  
  Click here (or above). It includes a 320k version, the artwork for the single and some notes. This song goes well with Afghan Tea and Astral Traveling.
