Hello everyone! We’re a few days away from heading out for a 6-week US tour. Yes, I will miss my cats Clover and Miette desperately, but I will have Isabelle out with us for the first shows. So if you’re in the NW please say hello to my amazing wife at the merch table.

So, as you may have heard, April is Audience Participation Month. We kindly ask you to be part of our live show in one of the following ways.
– You can sing lead or harmony vocal on "Trance Manual"
– You can play a solo on "Exodus Damage" with an instrument of your choice, the weirder the better.
– You can trigger that cool squiggly sound in "Underneath The Leaves".
– You can also choose your own adventure. Again, the stranger the better.
Email me with your awesome ideas.

NB: May is also Audience Participation Month.

On tour with me will be the incredible Jason Slota playing Moog Source, glockenspiel, mandolin and…a full drum kit. Mostly at the same time.

I won’t have Magik*Magik Orchestra out with me this time, but I will have a different colored Magik shirt for every day of the week on this tour.

More coming!! See you soon, I can’t wait to tour!! If only I could bring my wife and cats… But I will have Jason Slota and Jacob Winik!

Damn I can’t wait to play this weekend. Jason Slota and I have been rehearsing for months to get a duo set where we want it. It’s pretty loose and punk, down and dirty. We’re learning a lot of songs and trying to cover a lot of White Wilderness. Jason is playing drums, Moog Source, tons of percussion, toy piano and mandolin (!). I am playing guitar. (SHAME!)

See you soon!!!!!!

PS The heavy lifting, as usual, is over on my 3 Tumblr accounts.
