Little Oak Animal at Handmade Music Toronto
February 19th, 2011
I finally edited some of the performance Robert Cruickshank and I did at Handmade Music Toronto. We play as Little Oak Animal. Rob’s visuals are all analog – 2 slide projectors and a Super 8 machine – and my sound is all digital, done in Pd.

Tomorrow (well, today by now) – Monday the 24th, whatever it is, Thom Gill plays with Christine and I. This has been a long time coming and we’re both really excited to have him sit in.

Lead Sheet: Tell Old Uncle Jimmy
January 8th, 2011
In honour of the fact that James Robertson is joining Christine and me on Monday, I’ve written out Tell Old Uncle Jimmy, which is our shortest song, and also the closest we get to bedroom soul. You can listen Christine and I play it here.
Here’s the pdf: Tell Old Uncle Jimmy.
Monday we’re probably going to play some Elvis!

In trying to learn more Processing, I wrote a script that draws lines, based on the content of an image. Here’s Robert Frank’s New Orleans Trolley in 10,000,000 lines:

Aloha Supreme
November 17th, 2010
I just got my copy of this Monday night and I’ve been listening to it pretty steadily since.
I feel lucky to be playing with Christine, and honoured to be on this record, working with such amazing musicians. Once again, Christine’s crafted a really beautiful collection of songs.
The release concert is Sunday night (Nov 21) at the Tranzac. Elvis Bossa Nova plays the first set, and Robert Cruickshank plays Etch-a-sketch!
