Music

Radiohead covers with a thousand feet per second, the Old Town School ensemble archive, lo-fi bedroom recordings, and tools for learning songs by ear.

This isn't a polished discography. It's a record of sound that actually exists somewhere: a working cover band with two live sets under its belt, an earlier ensemble era archived in full, nine lo-fi bedroom recordings from 2015-2016 that never quite became songs, and a practice tool I built for myself that turned into something other people use.

Now

a thousand feet per second

My Radiohead cover band — I play acoustic guitar and sing. Eight people, deep cuts and singalongs, recorded live at Montrose Saloon in Chicago. The band has its own site with the full discography browser, both live sets, and upcoming shows.

Unmastered Recordings

Nine lo-fi bedroom recordings from late 2015 through early 2016 in Salt Lake City.

Unmastered Recordings of Unfinished Song Fragments / Loops That Loop Too Long

Nine lo-fi bedroom recordings made with a guitar, a loop pedal, a Fender amp, and a phone. Ambient loops, slowgaze fragments, and song sketches that never quite became songs — recorded late 2015 through early 2016 in Salt Lake City. Track titles do most of the talking.
