"Music"
This past Thursday, May 26th, I gave my first recital since my senior recital at UCLA – 6 years ago. This was a very significant moment for me. It’s been a struggle for quite literally the last 6 years to find a satisfying balance between performance and scholarship. And, as I’ve been rather unhappy with [...]
Oh yeah – I make music, too. Just with fewer tangible traces, I suppose, than brewing. Anyway, here is my recording of “Phases” by Claes Biehl, for tuba and electronics. Enjoy.

So Day 9 of my 12 day qualifying exam period just ended. I’m doing pretty well, to the point where I feel comfortable saying I’ve just about finished. Maybe a few revisions tomorrow, maybe not.
All three of my exam questions concern digital media in some way: a lit review/methodology of online ethnography, an ontology/phenomenology [...]
Just about half a year since the last post, and very similar content to report. Rather odd, that.
This past weekend was the 54th annual Society for Ethnomusicology Conference, at which I presented a slightly updated version of my IASPM-US paper, albeit with a different title (“Creative Listening: Playlists, Mixtapes, and the Virtual Ethnography of [...]
Yup, Aquapuke is officially a band. Not only did we play the Che Cafe, we finally got a flyer that’s not done up in Microsoft Word. The show was crazy in a good way, probably our most energetic yet (and boy, did it hurt). Turns out substituting grape juice for wine didn’t [...]
Because I’m so absolutely sure that there’s someone out there who is curious about Aquapuke but unable to attend a performance, I’ve decided to upload a recording that Clint and I made of the final rehearsal of Aquapuke and the Industrial Transsexual, our most recent piece. It should be clear, of course, that this recording [...]
Last night was the (first) performance of Aquapuke and the Industrial Transsexual, a piece based on the story of German pop singer Kim Petras. Clint and I aimed primarily to create a ritualistic feel for the piece, focusing especially on coming of age, the movement between genders, and of the consumption of [...]
Aquapuke reprises our piece on the life and times of Bobby Jindal as part of Technomania Circus’ Absurd and Ridiculous Music Night.
2438 Commercial St. San Diego, in Logan Heights, 8pm start time, $10 tickets.
On the whole, this tour was a great success. To put it as plainly as possible, it was very different from what we had originally imagined, or maybe even hoped. Then again, I’m not really sure that I had any particular notion of how things would go.
Jonathan Berger brought up the idea of brining [...]
Hoo boy.
Today was the last day for me to ride before the big trip out to Palomar on Saturday. I didn’t have much time, so I just rode the hills around the house. Lots of 12-15% grades. I got to about 8 miles/1000 vertical feet, but my lungs really started to hurt from the [...]
