Not sure why I'm getting a slew of merchandise orders today, but perhaps it's a good moment to release a montage of all these lovely friends of mine playing with their Voice Crushers. Enjoy! youtu.be/kqlNR8bVIms?...

I'm thrilled to share that I'll be performing at WildFlowers Festival of Music & Dance next month alongside an outstanding lineup of music-makers! My second-ever jambox "The Syncomasher" will also be installed for anyone to jam on. I hope you can join us in Florida!

Ever have one of those setups with like, 8 copies of the same USB MIDI controller connected to one computer, and each time you turn the setup on every controller gets a new name, and then your software can't tell which is which?

So good to see Bay Area friends and fam again! I miss you!!!

After 4 days at a winery north of Napa, I’m about to drive back home solo to Illinois. I haven’t done this many miles in one go since pre pandemic! Note the one significant detour to Denver to see @meowwolf.com Convergence Station. Anyone want to go with me?

San Francisco Bay Area! Psyched for a quick visit with friends and fam, then up to Napa!

That time I was in Popular Science magazine!

Any of my followers really enjoying Bluesky? Why so?

I’m a little sad to let this one go, but it’ll make space for new and wonderful instruments. This was my first electric guitar that my dad bought me when I was about 15. It’s a terrible Strat copy that I stopped playing as soon as I got to college and learned how much having a

I’m in a movie! A friend told me I was in this and I watched it on my last flight home from LA and it’s true. I’m on screen for like 5 seconds and I don’t speak or anything, but I mean, I’m in a movie! And it’s damn good! Especially if you like documentaries or if you’re into music tech.
