Still can't believe it. Sitting here in a big, beautiful, purpose-built control room, peering over the desk through the window into an equally big, beautiful live room. The place looks and sounds amazing – a massive step up from our former digs. 24 channels of audio, 16' vaulted ceilings, vibe for days. Even with no windows in the studio proper, the big sliding glass doors allow the windows in…

I teamed up with my old friend and bandmate Paul Beaudry to form a duo called Archaeologists Discover a Miracle. I play bass/guitars/vox while Paul engages in some modular synthesis wizardry, we link up loopers with MIDI and then proceed to make shit up as we go along, capturing it all live off-the-floor with video and audio, leaving all the lost-in-the-woods "mistakes," ("happy accidents") then stream it all…

It has occurred. The Enoch Karpenter Project's brand new full length album So It Goes has been released and is currently available on the platform or platforms of your choice. I thought Enoch Karpenter was merely the nom de plume for my solo music project, but as time rolls on I'm realizing he's altogether different from me. Enoch is fearless (pfft, more like shameless), and writes better songs…

So I have this alter ego - an ego way bigger than my own (that's saying something) called Enoch Karpenter. He's been darkening MKUltra Studios for some time now working on his 30-minute swan song, the "Those Were the Days" EP. I'm happy to report that the EP has finally been released and we here at MKU can get on with our lives. That is, after I do…

Leveling up! My kids aware awesome. They all chipped in for Christmas and had this beautiful custom sign made for the studio. My elder son Harper's girlfriend Anayah – an aspiring and talented artist herself – took the lead on this (she is wonderful), communicating with the fabricator throughout the process and going through a large number of backs-and-forths. In my design career I've worked with a number of…

I gotta give a shout out to my man Tim Carson at Vocal Artistry. One day a few years back, my voice up and broke. After a period of denial, I finally saw an ENT specialist and ended up across from this brilliant musical educator, who I am now honored to call a friend and collaborator. Tim, you done fixed my voice, and in the process a lot…

https://youtu.be/a7n_r0t5ev8 It's been a while since anyone has been able to Put On a Show – either to Save the Community Center or for any other purpose – and I'm missing the shit out of it. This video from September 2018 shows me and the boys from superband The Gigs of Ram, unexpectedly hijacking a show from our alter egos in Half Acre Day. Ridiculous.
