Chicago, lakeside.
You know you’re an electronic musician when you have dreams about MIDI resolution. I urged the importance of having hardware with 480 PPQN and a control range of 16,384.

Experimental filmmaker Robert Nelson died earlier this week. His films, which displayed a remarkable combination of humor, wit, playfulness, and accessibility - all rare things in the avant-garde - have had an enormous impact on me and countless other artists. With the assistance of film preservationist Mark Toscano, I screened his film Bleu Shut at Northwestern University’s Block Cinema in 2006. It’s truly one of the best and most revolutionary films I’ve ever seen.
Mark has posted a poignant tribute on his blog. Rest in peace, Robert.

Really enjoying my new iPhone home screen.
p.s. That’s Euripides, the ironically named stoic elk/mascot/power animal.

“Ultraviolet” named a Top Track of 2011
Music blog haonowshaokao, run by a Briton currently living in Beijing, has listed my song “Ultraviolet” as #80 on his 200 top tracks of 2011. It falls even higher on the list than some of the best tracks of the year from Oneohtrix Point Never, Real Estate, M83, and Peaking Lights, which is quite flattering.
Citing a lack of information about me on the internet, he quoted a lyrical excerpt from the track review written by 20 Jazz Funk Greats.
If you don’t already have a copy of “Ultraviolet,” grab one for free from Bandcamp.
