Signs that you married the right person: HER: How would you describe your music? Haunting? Evocative? ME: Enjoys long walks along the beach? Likes Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain? HER: A team player with the ability to multitask in a fast paced, high pressure environment?

What is your experience with single board computers (SBC) in art installations? Can they be trusted to continue their programs over the long haul? How difficult are they to work with? #contemporaryart #fineart #installationart #soundart #electronicmusic

I have a question for any installation artists who use computers in their work. How do you keep the machine from crashing mid-exhibition? I'm using a dedicated PC laptop running a simple Max/MSP patch that seems to poop out after about a week. Any thoughts? #fineart #installation #digitalrart

All of us in the Los Angeles area are reeling right now as we deal with personal and collective grief and a deep fear of what is to come. I have a plea for those of you who live outside of our area who may have opinions about what happened. For the next 30 days, just…don’t.

One thing that I love about the holiday season is hearing all of the wonderful music. Great holiday music comes from many centuries of tradition, and new classics are being written all the time. So why is it that "Dominic the Donkey" is playing in my head on a continuous loop?

Well it seems our video holiday card from 2012 is making the rounds again (and yes, I'm very happy about that)! So here is my music with the wonderfully loopy Insects' Christmas (1913) by stop motion pioneer Ladislas Starevich. Enjoy! youtu.be/CXYpvBS7RWE #animation #Christmas #silentfilm

There is nothing quite as warm and tender as the feeling of having a new dog in the house. #rescuedog
