For Pittsburghers, I'm leading the March 1 session for Paper + Dirt's "Walking As Creative & Community Practice" series. The walk will be about six miles long, and we'll be walking past a number of buildings and houses designed by architect Art Lubetz.

Looking for a sweet release on this cold Sunday? Send me $20 and I'll send you How Things Are Made's new LP "Sweet Release." Two electroacoustic pieces, one wild and the another more of an interior thing.
