Video made in collaboration with Tim Barr and Allison Cannarsa-Barr.

Another recording and video made during COVID quarantine.

The first COVID quarantine recording and video.

Too Old For Hangovers (2014)
A 26-minute sample-heavy suite, divided into seven parts. It’s intended to obliquely suggest a depressed drunken binge that slowly subsides and becomes a more hopeful morning-after. I wasn’t drunk when I made this, but I was pretty depressed.
