Playing with a sampler for the first time and I’m having a lot of fun: it’s like making stuff out of scrap metal, only with bits and scraps of sound.
my babies
the (as yet) unmade
In the throes of limbo on two metal projects so here’s a list of things I’ve yet to make that I want to make:
a series / gaggle of weird little zines
a graphic novella (with or without a collaborator, though i'd prefer the former)
a narrative short film
a novella
a large metal dinosaur
a damn good track / ep that eschews my institutionalized music composition reflexes for the same visceral and improvisational central to my totally clueless – and intentionally ignorant – metalworking practice.
Do I have any of these in me still? I'd like to believe I do (99.99% that large metal dinosaur is happening this summer), but time will tell.

Teaching myself bass: always meant to learn, never got around to it. Finally dove in when, as I got further with my drumming return, I found that the fingers on my left hand were pretty much useless - and remembered that running scales on a guitar or piano always helped. So, to merge the rhythm and the melodic(ish) - and check off a bucket list instrument - bass. Her name is bamAlam.
