Breaking Bad: R.I.P. XP-30, 2001-2013

Yesterday, while troubleshooting glitching technology, again, rather than practicing music, again, I came to a place of silence. I stopped hitting buttons and searching google, and sat, and thought. I had already emailed the event coordinators for Tomb and the Womb and said that due to technical difficulties I would not be singing “Covering Lisa”… Continue reading Breaking Bad: R.I.P.

The original piece by Dead Can Dance was an absolute musical epiphany for me. I had never heard anything like it. After only doing… Continue reading Covering Lisa
