Hi all,

my new band just released a single/video, and our new EP comes out this week. I've never been so happy with a way a recording turned out. If you're a fan of 90s (post)hardcore meets noise rock, you may dig this.

Very cool! Also digging the video

Put out a compilation documenting my past ten years of music-making:

Ten years ago, I came home from my father's funeral with his guitar and a few pedals. Kinda by accident that sent me down the path of making music — and happily that has lead to a lot of cool stuff happening. A lot of the music-making I've been doing recently has been collaborative, but this sticks to what I've managed to achieve on my own — mostly ambient, kinda noodly stuff with some (hopefully) inneresting textures but not too much on the abrasive side.

Anyway, here's some sounds for y'all, also tracking several years of gear development, much of which inspired by this space. So cheers!

This is great!

A friend asked me to put together some opening theme music for his podcast.

I made two versions of an Intro and an Outro.

For the Intro I started by silently repeating the name of the podcast in my head and trying to imagine what melody might match with that.
For the Outro I wanted it to convey a sense of regretfully feeling compelled to have to say goodbye to a friend because a lot of podcasts strike me as being sort of a version of listening (without direct participation) to a conversation with some friends.

Here is the result of that. This is the version that he didn't end up using.

While I was playing around with the Intro I came up with a tempo and rhythm guitar bit that was a bit different. This second version is the one he ended up using.

For the guitar and bass I used a Kuro Exegol plugged in direct to my H5 recorder as a preamp. For the "lead" guitar parts I think I used either a Montreal Assembly Your & You're or Basic Audio Marq Won or maybe a Green Ringer clone with the Exegol. I can't really remember.

The acoustic guitar was recorded using the built-in microphones on the Zoom H5.

In the first version the drums are just a canned pattern. For the "organ" I used a MIDI keyboard and sort of felt my way around—this required some going over and correcting gross mistakes.

For the second version I used the MIDI keyboard to hash out some gross "drums" too. Not perfect. But I think it conveys what it's supposed to.

If you want to hear the Intro/Outro in context, the podcast is available here:

New album from my electroacoustic duo. If you were to posit a continuum from "Pauline Oliveros" to "harsh noise wall", we try to hew closer to the former, but we tend to wander around a bit.

Dig it on bandcamp! A City Within a Park by Wenderly Park

Been playing guitar in a dream pop band the past year and we released our second single last week, album is done and pending release.

I recently recorded a song that I wrote back around 2013 or so.

It's up on Bandcamp under the name Caesar Shift.

Hey y'all! Phantoms Forever has been cooking a lot lately. We recorded another EP this summer at Cactus House studios in San Jose. First time recording something not at my house with good quality equipment. The first of the 3 songs that came from that session is out now as part of a compilation put out by a label my friend runs in the bay. The song is called W r o n g! You can stream it of course, but Imma link the bandcamp page for the cool kids.
E N J O Y!
