Rives and Nicole Kenney who have traveled far and wide asking people what they would like to do before they die, and snapping their Polaroid as they answer. (more...)
This Friday, I'm playing a free show at Cinders Gallery in Williamsburg. The current exhibition, Temple of Blooom, is a multi-media installation that features work by Hisham Bharoocha, Kelie Bowman, Sherri Hay, Mark Warren Jacques, John Orth, Hilary Pecis, STO, and Jessie Rose Vala. I'm particularly excited about his show because it marks the New York debut of Shahin Motia's devastatingly brilliant solo project, Inferior Amps.

Benjamen Walker, host of "Too Much Information" on WFMU, stopped by my studio last Saturday to talk to me about my approach to creating sound and why some might label me a noise artist. I also did some improvisation with guitar and a few of the pedals that I use in my Noveller setup. Benjamen also spoke with authors George Foy, George Prochnik and Garret Keizer, and noise artists Crank Sturgeon and GX Jupitter-Larsen. Listen to an archived broadcast of the program here. The Noveller portion of the broadcast begins 41 minutes into the program.
I penned a short story for Impose Magazine's 'Friends with Benefits' feature about my experiences with an injured kitten that my friend Chris and I found. You can read it here.
