Sampling and beat-making magic over at Ruby Red Studios with Jake Sinclair and Katie. This is how I like to do it: a new song, soup to nuts, in one day from sound-gathering and sampling to beat-making and the hook.
We should probably call this one Penny Arcade since we made most of the track with pieces recorded from a nearby pinball machine. Also, electric razors as bass-bursts for the win.
Performing “My Dear Self” by my self in Bristol on a boat sometime in 2004. This was before the full live show was developed, but I was already experimenting with using Zach’s artwork along with the performances.

A little blast from the past, circa 2007. This is our very first collaboration with Mr. Son Lux. Little did we know there would be many more to come…
He snagged and remixed a little vocal clip from “Easy Days & I” — a song off my first solo record, Firecracker. Have a listen!
Faux Fix - My Antagonist
We’re launching a full tour of Living Room shows this week and we wanted to post the title track from the new record (available at iTunes, bandcamp, Spotify, etc.)
Enjoy!
Check out the title track off the new Faux Fix record, produced by Son Lux and myself, and featuring the string stylings of yMusic. Katie and I wrote this one about two years ago in England at the Living Room B&B with a nod to the cinema of old Europe.
Hope you can come see us on our Living Room Tour this month!!!

Speaking of The Cinematic Underground…
Here’s a little song I wrote…
