Here's a shameless device I sometimes employ. Who doesn't like octatonic scales? Well, if you work one horizontally up and down the neck, it's easy to just grab more notes on other strings by baring the first finger wherever you start. Things can get kinda blistering when you involve hybrid picking and slides! Obviously, this just scratches the surface of all the diabolical permutations and phrases that can be used. I highly recommend using as demented a tone as you're comfortable with for the full effect. #electricguitar #practice #deathmetal 07 Nov 2026

This thing is wonderful. So versatile! I think it could perhaps be my favorite trem pedal ever. @mothelectric M. STELLATARUM .... yes, all their gear is named after moth species. #tremolo #guitarpedal #bigstar 05 Nov 2026

My ride tonight is pretty fun. About to improvise live with Philip J. Rankin and Mathias Kunzli to the Tod Browning's "Dracula" at Solarc in Highland Park. Great therapy and fun exploring to be had shortly. @solarcbrewing @onel.music @mathiaskunzli 29 Oct 2026

One week ago today, my mother Leslie completed her journey in this world. She was the kindest, wittiest, most compassionate and supportive person I've ever known and I will miss her for the rest of my time here. Whoever has known and loved me has also known and loved her. She gave me everything and never judged or discouraged me from my path or choices. Her children were her entire purpose and mission. Her family attempted to dissuade her from bringing us into being given my father's criminality and her indomitable, free nature. She did not expect us given that she had 1/4 of an ovary but we arrived anyway and she never let us starve. She loved music, art, and all forms of creativity. She was frank and could crack jokes that would make most people blush. I inherited her pitch black, realist sense of humor but also her indefatigable generosity of soul. I was fortunate enough to see her several times this year and even more lucky to know without any doubt that we parted ways on this realm completely free of any conflict or unresolved trauma. The line is open. I'll carry her love and warmth with me always and will act accordingly. Her final years were extraordinarily sad and riddled with anguish beyond what any living person should endure and that's why I believe she is now released from all of it. No more pain for her. No more of the harshness. No more cold indifference. All of it is over. She did not suffer at the very end and went peacefully. She was laid to rest today in precisely the manner she requested. Her body was simply returned to the Earth. It was the completion of a circle and I trust that her innumerable gifts will remain in the air and cosmos long after we're all gone. 23 Oct 2026

This is the first film I watched in my life. While I was not present for the og showings, I did have a VHS featuring part 1 and part 2 that were taped from PPV via Request TV. There were preview ads for the Wizard with Fred Savage. Some of my 20th century pals may be moved by those references. Time churns on. I had this tape in my possession until my sister decided to tape Buffy the Vampire Slayer over it despite crystal clear labeling. I have not forgiven my sister or Buffy for the offense to this day. Just typing this makes me want to buy a VCR and a black box for hacking the paid channels. Subscription streaming really just took the blood out of all this. I have never seen any of the films in a proper theater as far as I can recall. Today, I'm sitting at the Village East theater about to launch into a full marathon of all three films in order. I'm grateful to the Village East for their thoughtful programming and I'm grateful to my mom for introducing me to films through something so iconic, brilliant, and zany. I believe this is a generous gift. 18 Oct 2026

It's gloves off over here at Caton Castle. This past weekend, I learned that one of my favorite NYC-based composer-performers had received a 2.5-star review for a recent album in DownBeat. What bothers me isn't the rating itself, but the question of what this kind of coverage actually contributes. It's 2026. It's increasingly difficult to sustain a life as a creative individual, particularly for emerging musicians. I'm not suggesting that every writer needs to love every album. But criticism should offer something more than dismissal. Publicly shitting on someone's work isn't inherently insightful, and a prominent platform should be capable of more than lazy writing. Music journalism once operated within a more commercially sustainable musical ecosystem. Today, few musicians can reliably support themselves through recorded music, even as they continue to write, record, promote, and release new work. As an artist, I'm less concerned with whether a writer likes my music than with whether it reaches someone who might connect with it. Visibility matters. The opportunity to encounter something new matters. So what purpose does dismissive coverage serve in an environment where artists are already struggling to bring their work into the world? Negative criticism can be valuable, but only when it meaningfully engages with the work itself. Otherwise, it risks becoming attention at the artist's expense. As listeners, patrons, and artists, we should ask what value publications like DownBeat provide to the musical communities they cover. If music journalism wants to retain its cultural relevance, it should give us a reason to keep reading beyond a star rating. This isn't about demanding universal praise. It's about asking what music journalism is for, whom it serves, and whether it still understands the people whose work gives it something to write about. 13 Oct 2026

What does it take for us to stretch our listening — to find rhythm in the traffic patterns and bird calls amid the urban forest ? And how do we begin to hear it all as a kind of symphony? When we first spoke to experimental composer and jazz musician Max Kutner about coming onto Imagined Futures as one of our Artists in Residence along the Harlem River at the lesser known inlet and green oasis of Swindler Cove / Sherman Creek Park, we all thought, what would a composition sound like that would bring us into deeper listening with the natural soundscape? Not just making louder the bird calls or the buzz of the bee… what if that would disturb their communication?, but a composition in communication to the whole soundscape— the sounds that extend from our living ecology and our created one. But little did we expect what Max had in store…. After multiple development days in conversation with the living landscape and the stewards of this place… like 30 years of care from NYRP’s Edwards Santos, hearing how his small team made a garden out of a dumping ground and pulled tires and abandoned boats from what was once a living wetland, more recently restored, brought back and fought for with Northern Parks Manager Jason Smith… and the continued care and programming of the park with Caio Carneiro… a site-specific sound installation was born. Max soon landed on wanted to embed soundscapes into the landscape—But what kind of speakers, power source, upkeep? A ingenious solution formed from floral meditiation garden speakers, running on solar. A good but if technical tweaking later and his pre-composed ambient sounds were rigged in. The installation became part of our site specific scavenger hunt powered by our friends @goosechase and played on intervals at multiple locations around the park for all of Climate Week NYC. Thank you @mrmaxkutner for stretching our listening and deepening our engagement to this magical place, Swindler Cove / Sherman Creek Park. Shout out to @nycparks for the opportunity and to @NYRP for their unrelenting yes. #Imaginedfutures 08 Oct 2026

Tonight’s the night! See you there! 08 Oct 2026

On this small but mighty green oasis on the largest remaining native wetland in all of Manhattan… This Climate Week, we gathered in another small and mighty way with a group of around twenty Participants (from the eighty registered) who braved the mist and rain to REBUILD THE WETLAND… We gathered at the entrance of Swindler Cove / Sherman Creek Park at the top of Manhattan, where the Harlem River goes west, at a site recognized as one the remaining native wetlands in NYC… only 6 feet left at that point. After 30 years of stewardship and care, this green oasis is now one of our favorite green spaces in NYC. Who said NYC was just a concrete Jungle? We spent the afternoon moving through our guided walk & scavenger hunt mission by mission hosted by our friends @goosechase (shout out to their many years of support, especially as they are about to host the upcoming @nycmayor Scavenger Hunt this weekend October 11th, featuring people powered organizing in NYC. We’ll be there!). Expanding our listening with experimental sound installations by @mrmaxkutner made in composition & relationship to the natural soundscape of the park. Sipping lemongrass tea over a conversation on shifting climate zones, led by Paige Kloss of the Urban Ag team @NYRP in the Riley-Levin Educational Garden, filled with native and international transplant seeds reflecting the local community. Then, working as a group, bucket by bucket with the cleanest soil in the city from the New York City’s office of Environmental Remediation, we helped stabilize the wetland- creating a new shoreline for the more intensive wave flow from boats, full moons and intense storms. This is the work of climate preparation: a soft and living shoreline ready to root down when trouble comes. We give thanks to the many stewards who show up to his work everyday and the many hands that make it possible. Special shout out to Jason Smith, Caio Carneiro and Edwards Santos of NYRP and Chauncy Young of the Harlem River Working Group. In only a couple of hours, twenty ppl were able to help restore fifty sq feet of stability to the wetland - just imagine what we could do with thousands of eager hands. #imaginedfutures 07 Oct 2026

Thanks to @harveyvaldes for roping me into this show. Overkill (@overkillofficial) burned it down. Classic thrash at its finest. New Saint Vitus is a great space too. 05 Oct 2026

Bandcamp Friday Oct 2026! I released an album on Sept 16th called "The Illustrated Interior" I released an album on February 27th called "Rogue Lash" that features guest spots from literally a million people. Both of those are currently available for your consideration to purchase and listen to. Also: 2017 - "Disaffection Finds Its Purest Form" - 50 minutes, 30 guitars (all me), drone/sludge/algorithmic 2018 - "Array" - bedroom pieces composed daily over a month recorded on cell phone 2018 - "Wild Courses" - duets on coursed instruments with Henry Kaiser 2019 - "rummagelore" - mostly acoustic, solo renditions of originals and arrangements 2020 - "World" - three extended live guitar improvisations taken from shows in NY and Japan 2022 - "High Flavors" - original compositions for quintet featuring Eli Asher on trumpet, Michael Eaton on tenor sax, Kurt Kotheimer on electric bass, and Colin Hinton on drums 2024 - "Partial Custody" - continuation of tuba/guitar/drum pieces featuring Ben Stapp and James Paul Nadien And a pile of "EPs" and stuff from collaborative bands (Evil Genius, Lurch Purse, Android Trio, Izela, Bubbeleh, The Royal Us, Robber Crabs). Also, tons of friends have new stuff too. I'm looking at Elijah Shiffer, Brandon Seabrook, Grex, and Mike Gamble BTW. Gamble is going for an album a week this year!!! Glad to see the inspiration finding folks despite it all! ❤️ Support the artists! Support new music! "Dark Side of the Moon" has done well enough. The Eagles are doing fine. You don't need another copy of "The Joshua Tree" for Christ's sake! #bandcampfriday #newmusic #albums 02 Oct 2026

I continue to chip away at arrangements of new pieces. I didn't know how much FUN it would be to figure out my own parts and experimenting with tones. This is "Plague of Herberts" which is the second track from the Illustrated Interior (out now via Bandcamp). I'm literally bursting at the seams with enthusiasm to get these things assembled for a live show as soon as possible. There are -30- originals I would like to put together for the show and if all goes well, I'd like to have different versions of the ensemble in different cities so I can present the work around the US or even abroad (gasp)! #original #electricguitar guitar #music #practice 28 Sep 2026
