I have a new solo tape called "Fiddle" available for pre-order from Personal Archives. "Fiddle" consists of 11 improvisations for acoustic violin. All of the material is free improvised, aside from the opening track, which was improvised under the self-imposed constraint, "improvise a fiddle tune."  You can currently preview three tracks from the tape at the Bandcamp link below. The tape was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Ryan Wasoba and designed by yours truly. You can pre-order a copy here.

I made the artwork for the new Dane Rousay tape, "Divide," on Already Dead Tapes & Records. Dane is an exceptional percussionist and improviser and "Divide" is a great document of their solo playing. "Divide" drops on April 20th and is currently up for pre-order on Already Dead's Bandcamp page. Highly recommended.
