Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, and as a transgender musician who has been releasing music online since the 1990s (and writing music since the 1980s), it’s super important to me that members of my community get seen today. The complex feelings around being transgender have always been a big part of my music, even before I had the words to express it.
This performance took place in VRChat, and was hosted by Corbelle’s Music Fesivals.
I will be performing up to two songs (time permitting!) at the Trans Academy’s “Moonlit” concert series. Join TRANS.7885 for access, or watch on the Twitch stream.

Today, March 7, 2025, is Bandcamp Friday! That means that for the next 23.5 hours as of the time of this posting, Bandcamp waives their cut of the purchase price. So if you have any music you want to buy on Bandcamp, today is the best day to do it.
To that end, I have a new album out, which you might be interested in if you’re seeing this post.
Other than that, there’s what I’ll be buying today:
Sharing is caring!
For folks who follow this site directly on bluesky you might have noticed that the view there has… problems. I’m mostly posting this to see if some of those problems have been resolved.
Unfortunately, as things stand, bluesky is really just not a great substitute for a proper feed reader, so I’d suggest getting one of those instead rather than trying to have a single social feed be your one view to the universe.
(Following my actual bluesky profile probably is a better experience overall, anyway.)

Set list:
I will be once again performing at the Trans Academy’s “Moonlit” concert series, this time for the European time slot. Join TRANS.7885 for access, or watch on the Twitch stream.
I will be performing a song or two, depending on avalable time.
I will be performing at Wolfie’s Hangout for their second anniversay celebration, in benefit of Doctors Without Borders. Join group CMFS.6845 to get access to the concert instance! Or, watch on Twitch.
Scheduled time is approximate and subject to change.
Because of recent events and in preparation for the Wolfie’s Hangout anniversary show I will be doing a show on my own. Join VRChat group MUSIC.1138, or watch on my Owncast instance.
Convolution reverbs are pretty neat. Basically you take a recording of a space’s acoustics and then the reverb characteristics of that space can then be applied to any audio signal. I usually use convolution reverbs for most of my music, since it’s a lot easier for me to use someone’s recorded impulse response of, say, the Ulm chapel than to fly to Germany to record there in person.
You can also use recordings of things other than acoustic spaces for interesting effects; Logic’s Space Designer comes with a whole bunch of impulse responses that are used for various effects, including drum transformers, ghost rhythms, and other such things. A lot of my more sound designy stuff makes heavy use of this.
But what if you use whole songs as an impulse response?

Gosh, I almost forgot to post this, but that’s because I haven’t actually listened to much music this week. Dunno why. But here’s some things I heard:
Sometimes I just gotta give my ears a break, I guess.
