So, this is a 100-year-old trumpet I stole from my dad. The house is empty cause of some renovations and quite reverberant. I think the last bit of musical criticism I got from the guy was "that's not the melody", but I think that's a reasonable critique... cause it's not the melody.

Big reverb. Nothing in here but me and some bouncy sounds.

So, my gigs this week. I'm doing a short set at the IAM music songwriter night which is Thursday from 8-10. Original songs that I like a lot.

And then the full band is going to play El Rancho on Friday the 5th from 9-12. It's a really great show, I think. I'm really enjoying it, at least.

Heyo, I'm gonna play a couple of songs at the IAM songwriter night week. Thursday, Jan 4 8-10... I think I get, like, a 15 minute set. Seating is limited, though.

Pretty frikkin stoked on these Schoeps... they are kind of the "high-end clinical" match to my AKG 414s, and I don't really think that there's much outside of a drumset I can't get sounding amazing between the two sets.

I've been having a good ol' time digging into this accordion. :D

Getting a bit nerdy in here. Kinda a bit much, but what the helll.....

Doing some client work. Haven’t done video in… a while. Stoked to discover that Davinci Resolve is a real thing.

Super stoked to actually make a little progress on some fronts. Have an actual website up here: https://foxmandala.com/new-year-new-site/
