Thanks to everyone who came to the JG Thirlwell concert live-scoring Harry Smith's Heaven and Earth Magic at Tinker St Cinema in Woodstock NY on Saturday night. Harry Smith's ashes were buried in the Woodstock Artist's Cemetery in June 2025, so I got to visit his gravestone while I was up there.

Great to see Mark Arm of Mudhoney for the first time in some years when he played at Music Hall of Williamsburg with The Saints 73-78. They are heading to the UK for five shows, then Sweden and Berlin so catch them if you can. Photo by Mick Lewis.

I was very saddened to hear about the death of Dave Ball, half of the legendary Soft Cell. Dave's keyboards and arrangements were the engine that powered the group, framing Marc Almond's evocative and dramatic vocalizing. Rest In Power, Dave.

I'm deeply saddened to hear about the passing of legendary experimental film maker Ken Jacobs. He used strobing techniques to create 3D illusions, manipulated found footage, experimented with projection techniques and much more.
I collaborated with Ken on several films and performances.
RIP, Ken.
