I started working on music for this album sometime in 2019. Then the Rona came and heavily influenced the process, which became more solitary. The resulting music is upbeat, but I also detect a melancholy edge to the melodies. Can music be happy and sad at the same...

Sometime in 2015 I decided to record by myself, without the band, and that I wanted to create slow music. Love whispers while hate screams, and I decided to whisper so softly. I wanted to raise my guitar against the sound of billions of smartphones beeping with the...

Last year I decided to record an album of songs that mix elements of the Tangos Flamenco rhythm with Reggae beats. Reggae and Tangos Flamenco -- not to be confused with the Argentine Tango -- are deeply connected. Tangos has a lilt and features the same avoidance of...

Where are you? Gently rocking in the darkness, half-asleep, the shrouded landscape flickering past outside the window. You're on a train, perhaps traveling through the Rockies, snug in a roomette. The muted chatter of the wheels on the rails, metric, polymetric,...

We bought a thrift store guitar for $25 and drove out to the Camino Real, South of Santa Fe. There I proceeded to throw the guitar into air while Eric Swanson took photographs. Having protected guitars all my life, it was quite a strange feeling to destroy this one....
