Today I’m releasing an an EP of three tunes that I recorded over the past month. It’s a thematic extension to the the one I made in 2017 just before I moved to New York called What Time Does the Shock Arrive at the Top of the Pipe? The title of that work references a … Continue reading
My good friend and former Sonar Mellowship bandmate Dr. David Ehrlich asked me if I’d contribute to the neuroscience class he was teaching at UW Madison entitled, “Music and the Brain.” The topic was creativity, improvisation, and algorithmic generation of music.

I released an album today that I’ve worked on for a year and a half, off-and-on. Continue reading
I’m beaming with pride today. My brother, Benjamin, published his first first-authored peer-reviewed journal article in Nature. It’s gotten a lot of feature articles already in the mainstream press and has huge implications for climate change policy and fossil fuels; the equivalent of a grand slam at one’s first at-bat. Essentially, my brother’s team conducted … Continue reading

It’s called “What Time Does the Shock Arrive at the Top of the Pipe?” and is available for free download on the Holistic Wellness … Continue reading
Sheila used a ~1:1 dilution of the Arctic Fox “Periwinkle” hair dye with conditioner to achieve this effect. I love it! My hair was so dark that it required 3 bleachings to get to a point that it would properly take color, and we didn’t read the instructions properly on the 1st bleaching. Anyway, it … Continue reading
