I've recently set up a YouTube™ Channel, as there had been an embarrassment of recorded music from the past few years in raw, unexpurgated states, mixed-down & mastered, essentially languishing on hard drives in the garage & my resolve to conjure up homes for it all has been failing as of recent. That & it's mid-late 2018 & I'm feeling somewhat apathetic towards the idea of spending every waking moment of the next year+ assessing & massaging all of it into a series of commercial goods, so I've taken the high road & have begun uploading live sets, studio materials, artist talks & workshops, and more, all with accompanying videos. This feels a diplomatic way to both share & handle such a volume of work: a public airing, on demand. Please Subscribe, if you're at all inclined.

There are Playlists for Redactions, Generators, Playthroughs, and one called Asides for pieces that fall outside of any of the recent performance/recording solutions (such as this one, of which I'm rather fond; it's as if Esplendor Geometrico, Lego Feet, & This Heat's "24 Track Loop" started a wine-cultivating commune in the Alsace region) :

Note that I'm certainly not opposed to any of this being issued commercially, so please Get In Touch if you have any ideas on the matter, especially if they involve collaborating on the editing & assembly stages of any one piece or concept; both processes I feel that I'm well & truly past my prime & patience-reserves in attempting in a critical way. The performances & sessions audible above appear in their complete states, as they were captured, with all real-time decisions & situational artifacts left intact; they could use some pruning, for sure...
