today's track is a cassette tape recording I made on my back porch, something I lovingly prepared for the interrupted set described below

playing in Kingston, NY on Monday with a new duo called Organized Sound featuring my buddy Maeve Schallert, a sick violinist / computer music head. Casual Decay and apostrophebeats are great, too, def recommend checking those links (and coming to da show!)

back from a very fun run of shows and immediately I have to plug other shows, such is the way of the grinder
