| Creature Dances Shaman’s Walk Winter Grasses Creature Dances The White Christmas Four Track Attack Pissing Contest Creatures Dances (4 Track Attack) Skeletal Inquiry Bo Knows Well Enough Alone |
I was jamming with Lub Dub in Pullman and Porter Fitch brought up all the stuff around the Santa mythology so I ran with that. Originally I was just droning on C and Bb and doing all the stuff you hear on 4 Track Attack. But after a while I started looking into chords using those two notes and wrote a chord progression you can kind of hear working on Creature Dances. It’s a lot tighter on Winter Grasses and The White Christmas which is a metaphor and a drink they made at Red Star in Moscow. I was channeling Miles and Bird and Herbie on the solo parts that make up those head jams – Creature Dances and The White Christmas. Not being able to resist myself I then did the mixes you hear on 4 Track Attack which is exactly was that is – mixes off a Tascam and a cassette. Whelp, that’s music.

S.O.S.
| Rings Planet God Moons |
I wrote this music around the theme of Saturn. For example, the frequency of tones on Moons is based around the periods of orbits and the chords derived from math I did regarding the spacing of the largest moons relative to each other in distance. God takes sample at/about the deity – using David Icke. Somehow I accidentally made him say “twerking” – which, come on people – is maybe one of the coolest things that’s ever happened! My friend Leif says it doesn’t sound finished. Nothing’s finished Leif, unless you decide it should be.
Never the Art Cart
A Ken Kesey kind of thing – Never the Art Cart – this cart carries my art supplies and can hold 2 of my projection screens. Some Catholics helped me build it – it was SO expensive! The voile screen on the right swings out to 90 degrees. I’ll get this out into the wilderness with some projectors, a sound system and throw down post-modern like I do. This installation incorporates the Bold Jumper mask I used at Paseo as well. You can dance on the top level and there’s room for a DJ booth at the front. I’ll be performing and live painting with Never at the 2025 Benson First Friday events starting in May!

I improvised this music for a show with Mark Gualtieri at the Mendelson Gallery in Pittsburgh. The segments I liked from each jam were looped and layered together in Logic and mixed live using my DJ setup. I played viola and banjo on these.

I produced this audio recording and edited the music video.
