Forgive me for not writing in recent months - I’ve been working hard on something that I can now share with you all. An album of the music I made for Vinny DePonto’s incredible show Mindplay - currently playing to sold out audiences at the Greenwich House Theater in NYC.
My music plays throughout the live show, underscoring Vinny’s performance and introducing new scenes. This album includes the tracks in their entirety, fully remixed and mastered for this release, and includes two additional tracks featuring the voice of Vinny DePonto AND a bonus track - a cover of the Peggy Lee classic Where or When featuring the wondrous Hailey Tuck to play us out.
To create the music for the show I used a combination of acoustic and electric instruments including synthesizers, pianos, saxophone, effects pedals, cassette players and worked closely with Vinny to create a sound world we both thought complemented the show.
Special thanks to the incomparable Adam Skinner for mastering the album and providing invaluable advice throughout the production process.
The album will be available exclusively on Bandcamp to start with but will be available to stream on all the major streaming platforms at some point in the future.
As always, Bandcamp is the best platform to support musicians, and enables us to keep making original music like this.

I’ve found that music is the only thing keeping me sane in this crazy world. I hope that you can turn off the world for 35 minutes and let this album calm your mind.
Until next time, sending all my love to those of you who continue to support me.
