The second release on my little label is out today! I hope it provides a moment of softness and reflection whenever you may find the time to give it your ears. Working with @SunkenHum on this has been a wonderfully dreamy experience.

Such a joy to have Wendy pick their way thru the catalog. Come for the Sounds of the Junk Yard, stay for the wild drumming on the Obo Addy track

Reading Clarice Lispector is wild because she tosses out phrases like “eternity is the state of things at this very moment” like they’re stray nothings.

Remembered recently that my high school jazz band teacher repeatedly called Pat Metheny “Pat My Thingy” and no one thought that was weird

My wife's band Bad Moves has a new video out featuring some famous people but also me in the super believable role of "new dad" along with the lower half of my son youtube.com/watch?v=ppWY5R…

This new album by Félicia Atkinson is immersive and overwhelming. I was thrilled to get the opportunity to talk to Félicia about the work at length a few months ago and write the bio that's on Bandcamp. feliciaatkinson.bandcamp.com/album/space-as…

Max has successfully made an album that is both ✅ - "ambient music" ✅ - wild and unpredictable Awhile ago he asked me to write a couple words about it, which you can read via the BC link below.

Super jazzed to announce the third and final release of the year on my lil label outside time today, a collection of live recordings for tromba marina and subwoofer by the brilliant Alma Laprida. Highly rec'd if your jam is experiments in low-end. almalaprida.bandcamp.com/album/pitch-da…

Latest on my lil' label Outside Time by Alma Laprida is out today! Extremely proud of this one, and grateful for the collaboration with many people I love and respect including @KaBaird0 & @adambdonoval RIYL: trains whooshing by, being near an airport, rattling, shaking, etc

No one played bass like Phil Lesh. His sense of melody, pacing, and counterpoint was so singular and so brilliant sometimes it felt like even Jerry was just trying to keep up. Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there 🥀

The amount of joy and beauty that Phil manifested is unfathomable. He was both the bedrock of the Grateful Dead and the one who pushed them deepest into space. One of the most radical sonic explorers of the past century, hands down.

If only there was some band with a catalog saturated with poetic meditations on living and dying that could ease us through the passing of Phil Lesh
