Get early access to my latest release “Baseline Road” at Bandcamp. It’s a musical trip down Baseline Road. This album syncs up (depending on traffic…) with the drive along the 40th parallel from the start at the base of Flagstaff Mountain in Boulder all the way to the end on past Lochbuie on Colorado’s Eastern plains.
Features guest solos by Richard Ellis and Kosnoco.
Ten years ago, Graphite Addiction went into Aspen Street Studio with absolutely no idea what we’d play. 90 minutes of group improvisation later, we had this album:
Dry Land Distillers, Friday August 8th, 6-8:30 p.m.
“Twelve and Twenty”, my latest solo improvisation album, is out now! It’s a bit special, as it marks a couple personal milestones: twenty years of full-time employment in music and my twelfth solo improvisation album.
Check it out in any of the usual places and, as always, thanks for listening.

I’ve uploaded most of my original albums and books to Internet Archive, in case you need a way to listen freely.
My tune “The Chaff Can Catch the Light” shows up in Joaquim Baeta‘s short Kisah Lelly Sang Pengulik dan Laskar Penyelamat Bumi.
In ‘Kisah Lelly Sang Pengulik dan Laskar Penyelamat Bumi’ (Lelly the Investigator and the Wayfaring Rangers of the Enigmatic Earth), we are introduced to a mysterious figure (Lelly), who works in the dark depths of a university building, and her army of soldiers (students), commissioned to protect and save the Earth. These young warriors discuss their approaches, while their leader reveals how she deploys her various kinds of carrots and (drum)sticks to motivate and encourage them. Will she succeed in her mission? I have no idea.
Silliness aside, this short film melds an introduction (in Bahasa Indonesia) to Lelly and the work of her students, along with the accoutrements that encompass being her supervisee, including her so-called 24-hour service, life-time consultation, and ‘free gym,’ all with humourous terms and conditions. Meanwhile, the work described runs the gamut of her expertise: plant and wildlife ecology, the intersections of humans and nature, and habitat modelling.
