As part of #AwesomeAugust at NYC Resistor, I'm getting projects I've been meaning to do finally done. One of those projects was to fix up the DIY Monome that I got from Bre, make a new case for it, and set myself up with a chain of programs tha allow me to make good music with it on the fly.

Glass Blowing Demo with Fritz Glass

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 19:53:38 +0000

On vacation on Cape Cod, we happened into Fritz Glass and were treated to an amazing demo by Fritz himself as he made some incredible glass platters start to finish. I caught a good chunk of the process here with his permission, but there was so much more in his banter about the Cape, the process of glass blowing, and his history in the art that I didn’t have room on my camera for. If you’re ever on Cape Cod, stopping in to see him is a great way to spend an hour or two, and the store attached to his studio has beautiful dishes, ornaments, marbles and lots more.

Fresh Salsa base

A Beach Party, Fireworks, and Music

Mon, 20 Aug 2007 03:15:37 +0000

We're currently taking a summer hiatus from our podcast, The Alternative Music Show, but we're still evaluating new music. Crazy Fraizer's song "Crazy (City Lights)" has been stuck in my head, and seemed to fit really well with these pictures in iPhoto, so I set about making a little music video. You can download this promotrack for free, but if you enjoy it, please support the artist and purchase the full album! "Crazy (City Lights)" (mp3)

After a long few weeks of late night programming binges, I found myself waiting for my friend to pick me up early on a rainy morning.

Some of the thunder was very well timed- apparently everyone's a comedian, even the weather!
