I forgot how much I love this radio station. It’s a non-profit and listener supported station that has a great variety of really well produced shows as well as a ton of exclusive live broadcasts. I’ve discovered so much new music by listening to their podcasts over the years. I really enjoyed this recent performance by Calexico. Thanks KEXP!

Another “revisited” music sketch with new audio mix and visuals. This time it’s Music Sketch #15 “Still Standing”. It’s a song idea that I came up with at the end of a practice session. A bit of an homage to my 80’s youth.

Also, this is my first sketch using Superior Drummer (it’s a very impressive piece of software).

New audio mix and visuals for Music Sketch #14 “No Return”.
Photo taken during a trip from San Jose to Los Angeles.
Side note: this one took a while. Many edits, lots of tracks and busses (about 32 in all) and many plug-ins (mainly EQ and Compression). My Mac was put through the paces. Onto the next sketch!
