I'll be presenting workshops in San Fransico on Saturday & Sunday 9th & 10th to bring people up to speed on working with the new version of Ableton Live. Also features Dub Gabriel, Matt Moldover and Christopher Willits. I'll also be doing a few gigs as well...more details soon...more info here.

We garnered a mention in this piece on interactive music parties:http://nymag.com/news/features/all-new/53351/. Learn all about hobotech and grab some free downloads here.

Just found out that I'll be performing at this years Spark Festival, a festival of electronic music and art put on by the University of Minnesota. Also happy to hear that my friend the blinky wizard Todd Polenberg will be going out as well to present an art piece. We'll probably do a Skillcrane show or a Hobotech party as well while we're out there. More details soon... 

Doing a few days playing guitar (normal and laptop-mangled) for a new record by Alita St. James. The band is incredible! Allison Cornell (violin/viola), Tony Lewis (drums), Al MacDowell (bass) and Pete Drungle (pete) who wrote the music as well. Don't have time to add links right now, but if you don't know these people, look them up. A pleasure and an honor to be working with all of them...

The hobotech movement has begun.The inaugural party at this years burning man was a success. I debuted about an hour's worth of new tracks, remixes and mashups, and all was hobo. I've been recieving a lot of great responses, and am assembling a hobo army to put on new york's first hobotech event. Stay tuned.   

I'm proud to be teaching at Dubspot, which might just be the coolest music school ever. I'm designing a new curriculum for teaching Ableton Live. Exciting stuff! 

I'm going to be doing two special presentations Dubspot music school during Remix Hotel. They are oriented towards people wanting to get more familiar with the possibilities of performing and prodcuing with Ableton Live. The first session will be a focus on beat production using Drum Racks, and the second will be about digital DJing and the new breed of electronic performance is obliterating the line between DJ and producer. Event is free and begins at 7pm. 

I have temporarily relocated my studio to a cabin in westchester county where I am finishing tracks all day. It's nice. If it wasn't for the free haircut that I lucked into, god knows what I would look like by the end of it. I'll finally be finishing the EP that I've been producing for Bless for the last year, and I'll also be polishing off lots of other stuff.

The Book of the Storm CD is out. This is a recording of Rob Reddy's wonderful composition for 19 musicians on which I played guitar. The CD is a live recording of a performance at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center. You can listen to samples of it and buy the CD at Amazon. (That's me making the sonic mayhem at the opening of Spacious Skies). You can read some great reviews of it here.

I am currently writing a book on Ableton Live 7, for the Cengage Learning "Power!" series. Also, my review of Live 7 graces the cover of the Januare Music Tech magazine! 

I debut as an author of the "Ableton Live Workshop" column in May's issue of Music Tech Magazine.  Check it out! 

I'm the new in-house producer/engineer for Tribeca Recording. Check it out, and contact to see the studio so we can plan your next project!

It's finally done! Check it out at the VTC Website . And the first three chapters are available for free!

I've composed the score for a documentary entitled "The World's Best Prom," about the mega-prom that takes place every year in Racine, Wisconsin. Due to be released in April.

I co-produced this year's NYC Burning Man Decompression...it was an incredible experience involving 1700 participants and more artists and volunteers than i could possibly keep track of. We converted an enormous williamsburg rooftop into a concrete playa complete with domes, sound, video, fire and enough good-natured freakiness to keep just about anyone happy. Pictures to come soon....

I'm developing training materials for Ableton Live, an incredible piece of music software that plays a big role in most of my performance and production, to be published by VTC.
