NEW ALBUM RELEASE (*LINK IN BIO*): i am very excited to announce that “Cited (Original Podcast Soundtrack)” is now available to download and stream!

i do hope you download it and give it a listen. as always, my albums are pay-what-you-can and you can even enter $0 to get it for free if funds are super tight (as is the situation for many of us during this pandemic).

this season of the podcast deals with the politics of expertise in the “post-truth” era—who is and isn’t considered an “expert” in different contexts and how it is leveraged in different ways (often times for bad). like “this american life” but rooted in history and science. the stories include from a hoax paper published by a scientist, indigenous people subverting the canadian government’s narrative at expo ’67, the makers of tamiflu buying influence at the CDC…

thru these stories, we see how what we are presented with as truth is often skewed—facts are manipulated to present certain favoured narratives. as this is one of the common threads running thru the season, i intentionally chose a sonic palette to reflect the wavering condition of truth bending under pressure by way of lo-fi and distorted sounds.

being a soundtrack, it’s not going to sit firmly in one genre or another. i’d say it moves around within the ambient articulations of the post-rock and lo-fi electronic genres, with some modern classical elements peppered here and there. if you’re a fan of mogwai, boards of canada, jóhann jóhannsson, a winged victory for the sullen, or the electronic duets by ólafur arnalds & nils frahm then you will certainly enjoy this album.

another project i’ve had on the go is building myself a custom pedalboard. built in my apartment using only handtools.

the rails are poplar that i’ve stained with a mix of black and french walnut for a very rich ebony wood effect. the sides are cherry, and everything is finished with two coats of danish oil. the top rail sits a bit higher in order to give those pedals some extra clearance for tapping. my custom psu will attach underneath the top rail.

excited to slap my pedals on and get to making some lovely gritty & glitchy ambient guitar music with this setup.
