This continues a collaboration with improviser/guitarist Scott Bazar. There’s a playlist on SoundCloud of what we’ve done so far. He’s a continual inspiration. I never know what he’s used to make his tracks and it’s like a surprise I get at the end of the process when he sends me notes. I put those in … Continue reading New Music: Zazel dans le Nitro
This was originally a Thirteen Days of Halloween that I made with artist Reed Randolph. You can read the whole thing here. Continue reading The Coven of Lonely Gourds
Scary Stories Treasury: Alvin Schwartz, illustrated by Stephen GammellI missed this collection of revamped urban legends and folk myths when I was a kid. I went from Godzilla in kindergarten, to the TV edit of Jaws in first grade, to Stephen King books and adaptations by second. I can only guess, but I figure my … Continue reading The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out: Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
Here’s the second in a series of collaborations with Florida-based composer/improviser Scott Bazar. I can’t recommend his audio/visual work enough. Here’s my post on our earlier collaboration. More on the way…(I have to finish a couple of videos first.) Continue reading Sounds in the Mockingbird Mound with Scott Bazar

From 2013. Reed now has a website where you can see samples of his fantastic art, toy sculpting, animation, etc. Check it out! The first place I saw Reed Randolph’s work was on Instagram. Actually, I don’t know if I saw his own work or pictures of his weird, old toys first, but I do … Continue reading From the Eunoia Archives: An Interview with Artist Reed Randolph
Around the house has been uneventful and quiet. It’s been enjoyable, though we’ve had our usual summer errands and engagements: doctor appointments, daycare water days, meetings at work, etc. The goslings are longer and taller and gray, and a few have only wisps of green halos left of their original color and fuzz. While I’ve … Continue reading The Week That Was, or At the Movies! (At Home!)
Geese and ducks have returned with their young. We’ve been walking around the pond looking at greeny goslings, all fuzzy like they got stuck under a hair dryer. We’ve also seen ducklings swim behind their parents in those cute little lines that I don’t think I’ve ever seen in person–only on cartoons or in storybooks. … Continue reading The Week That Was, or Them Geeses
