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 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....
