Kicking off #CES2025 in Vegas!
We've got a busy week, exploring #TheFutureOfAudio with Studio Resonate's "Super Sonic Sound Summit," a Sonic Sommelier wine/sound pairing, a floor tour with friends from Razorfish, and participating in an "AI House" panel.
Catch me if you can 😏

Happy New Year!
Welcomed 2025 at a wonderful dinner with friends at one of our new favorite NYC restaurants. The food is consistently great & the venue small & cozy - which was a problem last night: They hired a DJ & by 10:30PM, the volume at our table averaged 96dB & 114dB closer the speaker.

Sunday #vinyl Sessions: Holiday Edition
This year's favorite spin is @actualbenfolds.bsky.social latest gem, "Sleigher,"
serving up a playful blend of wit, melancholy, longing, & hope (with a pinch of Guaraldi & a dash of Bacharach thrown in for good measure).
Guaranteed to warm the heart.

Sunday #vinyl session:
William Shatner’s “Has Been” is brilliant. Really.
It sucks you in with its writing, its wit, its swagger, & its moments of beautifully brutal vulnerability.
Produced by @actualbenfolds.bsky.social & supported by a wonderful cast of contributing characters.

Skinny Puppy: "Empire Central"
The band's ode to Dallas is full of swampy, funky, improvisational goodness.
With 12 musicians, 16 tracks, 3 discs & over 1.5 hours of live recorded music, it's a bit of a slog - but when they hit the mark, it's pure bliss.

Sunday #vinyl sessions: “Sable” - original soundtrack by Japanese Breakfast.
Languid, evocative soundscapes befitting of the video game, “Sable,” with a few lovely pop tunes sprinkled in for good measure, all pressed up on two clear vinyl discs (one blue and one gold).
Beautiful.
