Collections of Colonies of Bees will be playing 4 shows at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin, TX.  The details have finally been confirmed and can be viewed here.  Hope to see some of you there.  It’s going to be nuts.

The following is a post I made in 2007 on an old blog.  I wanted to repost it here mostly for my own memory, and the things it makes me think about.  Hope you enjoy it, too.

I’m very pleased to announce that my forthcoming solo record, titled, The Whole will be released by Type – a label I’ve long admired, and I am honored to have a place in their roster. Over the years, I’ve discovered some great music from Type, including Peter Broderick, Zelienople, Richard Skelton, Xela, and more.  The [...]

In March, I’ll be playing two shows with Swedish saxophonist Sture Ericson and Chicago cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm.  I first played with Sture last year on a short tour in Denmark, and it will be great to see and play with him again here and in Chicago.  Of course, it will be great to play with [...]

In advance of two projects which should be realized very soon, I’ve posted some brief samples from the forthcoming Phase by Jason Kahn and I, and Hydration by Z’EV and I.  Click here if you’d like to take a listen.

I soon realized that besides creating his own interesting music, that he also ran the record labels La Scie Dorée and Metaphon, and through those, I discovered other great music. Since then, [...]

On March 23, FSS will release Phase, a new project from Jason Kahn and I. The format for this will be unlike anything I’ve done in the past – a series of four silkscreened prints and a button designed by Jason Kahn that come with a download code for the audio portion.
The recording is [...]

My friend Jesse Goin just submitted this fine article on Eliane Radigue’s work in honor of her 78th birthday. Having just read her article in the new edition of Wire, and having just picked up the reissue of Vice Versa, etc., Jesse’s piece provided me a fine supplement to learn more about one of [...]

Tomorrow night, Sunday, January 31, I’ll be playing in Chicago with the wonderful Zelienople, who are celebrating their new record release, and Xela – via Boston via UK. I’m really looking forward to this night and am honored to share such a bill.
I’ll be debuting some of the new work featured on my forthcoming [...]
