I have a new story out in the world! It's short, and combines three of my favourite things: magic, music, and grouchiness at the state of the world. Hope you enjoy it! www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/conc...

What kind of music do I make? Here's a playlist I made to answer that question. It's good, I'm told, for letting your mind wander to. (Which is partly why I make it, for my own contemplative explorations.) I hope you enjoy it.

Incredible review of my double CD with Steve Roach: “a living, breathing space… envelops you in layers of sound so subtle and spacious that time itself feels elastic… left suspended in silence, as if the world has stopped for just a moment to catch its breath.” www.chaindlk.com/reviews/12403
