Oh hey there! This page is mostly for videos I have directed or live performances.
My videos have been premiered/featured on websites like Motionographer, Pitchfork, Stereogum, emusic, NME, The Fader, Filter Magazine, Create Digital Music, Consequence of Sound, Brooklyn Vegan, Gorilla Vs. Bear, and a bunch of others I'm probably forgetting about right now.

Dpony - Desert of Calculations
More of an art project than a ‘band’ and more of a ‘film’ than an album, this Hooray for Earth side project is actually an entire experimental movie. When Noel Heroux, Zambri’s Seth Kasper, Josh Ascalon + Johnny Woods teamed up to make a record, I suppose the logical thing to do was to craft this visual piece and, why not, release it on VHS tape! Of course, if you’re without the old player, you can always do it the modern way and download it free as MP3s here.
Oh, and this song is one of those ‘let it ride’ numbers - it starts slow, but gets ripped by the end of the workout.

This is the long version of the Glossolalia Promo I made for Zambri. Their label wanted a shorter thing, so we just used the second half for the official release. I like the beginning though, so here’s the “director’s cut”.
