Few non-metal songs give me the, what I call, “stink face”…but this one does. When that bass hits

The mighty Johann forever changed how i listened to vocals in heavy music. His (and Blatherskite) influence on the Indy scene is evident. RIP Johann. #Cancersucks

Very proud of how this one turned out. Without Prying Eyes is now on all streaming platforms. Enjoy and share!
Without Prying Eyes developed via an editing exercise to create a song that relies on drones produced lap steel, shruti box, sitar, prayer bowls, and taishogoto. With strong Shoegaze roots, each drone builds on the previous until the song explodes in true Post-Rock fashion. #post-rock #shoegaze

Listen to this. You’ll enjoy it.
Me and Dino have been hard at work making music with The Secrecy and Isolation Drills. Last week, The Secrecy released, "Theresa." Today, Isolation Drills releases, "Without Prying Eyes." This song was a lot of fun and very challenging to put together. I really hope you enjoy it and pass it along:

Student: how did I only get a 75 on the final project?

Me: did you read through the rubric?

Student: there was a rubric?

Me: yep, right there in the syllabus and on Brightspace

Student: I didn’t look at the syllabus

The struggle is real

Online retailer:
