333 and half way there... no.

I had an interesting night. I looked out of my window and Bullet Proof Marshmallows were playing in the building behind my space... My personal space. It was good to see them, and several friends that...

shake the laziness and drop a few lines...

I've been recording my friend Row and I feel like I've learned a great deal about the recording process in terms of the scientific and technical aspects of sound. An understanding of phase relationshi...

Awake or remain sleeping?

The alarm becomes a part of your dream. You come into morning's full view and a sense of dread consumes you as you seek for this ringing intrusion. How i wish I could re-embody that celestial cast tha...
