Personal & Collaborations Summaries
Pure fun.
The unbelievably talented Cymbals Eat Guitars have a fantastic new record titled "LOSE" and - would you believe it?! - they asked me to whip up a video to support they're release. So here you have it. The track is "Laramie." It's mind-meltingly hypnotic while simultaneously energetic - and the video's not bad either, if I do say so.

It's such a gift to have talented friends. We whipped up this animated music video for the self titled debut of the extraordinarily talented Solvey. The look of the piece is a nod toward the legacy of hand-drawn, rotoscoped and mixed media approach.

Lamps & Amps is a monthly recording series here at Analogue Muse. My colleague, director Brett Karley, and I were asked to help bring the sharable visual component of these events to fruition. This episode featuring the talents of Kate Davis is one of my favorites.

The multi-talented director, Brett Karley, was so moved by the inclusive mission of Camp Unirondak that he took the opportunity to create several short pieces showcasing the heroes of this Unitarian Universalist Summer Camp in the Adirondacks. He asked me to join in the fun and together we spent a weekend steeped in camp nostalgia while we attempted to capture the magic of this special place.

With the debut of Autre Ne Veut's 3rd album, "Age of Transparency," I was asked to help with Allie Avital's hauntingly beautiful video for the standout track, "World War Pt.2." The results somehow perfectly occupy the space between tender reflection and body horror.
