CHOP SHOP PART 4
The GEAR + 1 are back at Chop Shop Jan 13, 2023. This place is so special to me, I chronicle each performance as part of the Chop Shop series. This is the 4th time, and here’s why it’s gonna be special: i moved my sessions from a mac to a PC, just so i could use a new computer program called “Hive,” which I’m currently beta testing for my friend Vince Naples (aka DRMBT). It allows real-time video manipulation that I connect to the music. Hard to explain, so come to the show for more details.

GET PERMANENT
new album in the works, tentatively titled “GETPERMANENT”. !!!! the title comes from something my daughter used to say for when she was getting determined to do something.
here’s how these things work: i have two weeks in my studio with no ideas at all and very few other obligations, and i will make a bunch of little seeds from scratch, then i’ll spend a year or so bringing them to fruition. if you wanna help out, sign up on my patreon. i will post updates of how things are going there.
excited!
Tom Petty Remix
I made a remix of a Tom Petty song, performance video coming soon.
