I’m always looking for opportunities to make a positive impact, so I was thrilled to help my friends at Gotham Advertising with their promotional campaign for Mandela Day 2009, “an annual celebration of Nelson Mandela’s life and a global call to action for people to recognize their individual power to make an imprint and change the world around them.”
Whenever my friends at Plus call, I know it’s going to be something good. They were asked to redesign the opening title sequence for The Food Network’s “Grill It,” starring Bobby Flay, and I provided a new score.
While I don’t often use this space for anything beyond news bits and spots, I thought it’d be nice to summarize my great adventure to Austin’s SXSW Music Festival with some list action.

I haven’t been putting much new content here in the last few months… been quite busy launching the new company. But I did get around to a new holiday playlist, much like last year. Check it out here!
Another exciting launch! The dark, shoe-gazy and utterly brilliant album that my good friends in Black Swan Green have written, which I was honored to bring to life with my production, engineering and guitar-playing, will be available on CD October 10th, 2008, and digitally soon after. To celebrate the album’s debut, I will be joining Black Swan Green on stage (on guitar) at Union Pool in Wiliamsburg.
