You can now listen to the second episode of the Sound Is Magic podcast! It's a personal one, where I discuss the connections between silence, memory, family, and place. I also talk about the album Silent City, which features 3 tracks with Will Oldham.

Here are a few sweet photos of my installation from the "Ohio Now: State of Nature" exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati -- you should go! It is up through 9/7, and there are so many other fantastic Ohio artists there that are part of the exhibition. Photos: Wes Battoclette.

Had a great time last night at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati for the opening of the "Ohio Now: State of Nature" exhibition -- met wonderful people there, and all of the artwork was really special. Proud to be a part of it!

This weeklong residency at Appalachian State was cancelled last October because of the flooding in North Carolina. Now, I'm so excited to make it happen in March! If you're near Boone, I'd love to see you there!
