i can’t believe it’s this time of the year already. i just moved to the east coast–Boston–and spent my thanksgiving here. the leaves had all dropped and gave me ample opportunity to crunch through them before the ice and snow. [all great sounds under my feet.]
i had arrived just in time to perform at the MassArt gallery downtown in The Speaker Project… playing inside a sculpture that amplified sound through bottles, cones, tubes and all sorts of joyous junk. It was then projected out of these speakers into the wide and high-ceiling space of the gallery. So if you hit a snare drum inside the speaker it sounded huge and never-ending.
this time last year i had just recorded my album, November Antique. and here we are. back again. the seasons have slipped right back into the vibe of that album–into the time of reflection, and pondering of new and old ideas.
[If you do not own this album, please take a song for free off the members section on my site.]
four days ago i moved into my own little place. the studio is up and running again. it was an interesting journey deciding what to keep and what to not before moving 3000 miles. my life felt like the end of the film ‘the jerk’ when steve martin’s character wanders through his house saying he doesn’t need anything at all except “this lamp… this is all I need… and this channel changer…i need this channel changer…” my attachments to things seemed to circle exclusively around my record collection, studio and art stuff. these are the things that make me feel “at home.”
the holidays can be such an interesting time. i hope everyone’s able to take a moment for themselves as we rush through it all.
i am very grateful for all of you who have been a part of my life thus far and am looking forward to hearing more from each of you. thanks for being a part of this crazy journey.
as a thank you, i’ve been up learning, then recording a december appropriate song for you to have all just in the past few hours. (consider it hot off the press)
I’ve embedded it (i hope) at the bottom of this post.
i will continue to put upcoming shows on my web-site [expect some starting in February], as well as free content in my members section. (there are a couple of free songs up already)
here’s to diving into the season of whisky, egg-nog & lights.
much love,
