Editing the video for "The End of All Things" was a serendipitous moment where the images I needed emerged from the found footage, and the editing decisions seemed obvious as if they were dictated to me. It feels less like I made it and more like I found a little movie that no one had ever seen

Vertical crop of the "Redwood Nurse Log" video for all you vertical video sickos (affectionate)

I think I might need to quit microblogging for a while and do some… regular-sized blogging?

Today I learned that this famous suit worn by Gram Parsons…

1) was created by Nuta "Nudie Cohn" Kotlyarenko
2) had a large radiant cross on the back

When did Boston get… whatever this is? And when did Rivian buy the weird Star Market that overhangs the Pike?

Resuming my retrospective of tracks from my previous albums with this piece from Point Mass, "Where the Bumper Cars Were"

What I've recorded so far for the album in progress

To continue my little retrospective, here's a track from my second album, Point Mass. It's called "Where the Bumper Cars Were"

Another track from my first album, Plague. This one is called "Monstrous moonshine" and it's probably the most straightforwardly joyful track I've made

New album progresses slowly, so I'll reshare some old stuff. This is my recording of "Aquarium" from Saint-Saëns's Carnival of the Animals, from my first album, Plague. I worked from a MIDI file arranged by Ramón Pajares.

Was working on this little duet in a composition-in-progress last night and decided to swap one of the voices for vowel synthesis based on Mutable Instruments Plaits

When I'm pulling together musical ideas I'll tend to come up with a placeholder album name and cover art to kind of conceptually hold it all in place, though I might completely change them later.

This is my current placeholder and I'm still deciding whether or not I like it
