nouns

books

after a full day of working on string composition and eventually hitting a brick wall (the cello, and writing for cellists, and an overall idea i had for fugue that has been the silliest experiment i've ever started) i think i'll spend an hour or so sitting in silence with my cat this morning... ...

first ever cd booklet

woke up pretty early and got to work right away on going over the new album's plot again (themed records and concept records are diligently organized by me, but i woke up with a fervor to edit and re-organize a key part of this album's narrative SO the middle of the album will definitely be diffe...

piecing together videos from the making of WUOM in chronological order for patreon supporters and stumbling on old footage circa still bummed—still. so nostalgic.

kyle and i hanging out with my dad

i met kyle at a random show in late 2014; he said he needed a place to stay so i suggested he room with me at this house of 5 people. as soon as he moved in, we began jamming regularly and i realized he was just about the best bassist i'd ever playe...

talking with adam demirjian about mathcore

i listened to a brave little abacus record in the fall of 2021, after the release of lonely place of dyin. immediately i recognized that BLA and i shared many influences, especially given the time we all grew up in. i decided to reach out to adam demirjian and just talk shop for a while. there's ...

moving 10 years worth of accumulated gear to a new treated room, then the problem remains of how to record the rest of the vocals in the garage pictured

rest in peace Ozzman

I took an interest in music— hammering away on my dad's acoustic guitars— by the age of 3. My earliest memories are of him looping tracks by Esteban, attempting to gauge my interest in guitar. The first thing that truly took was Ozzy. Dad put a boombox in my room, and let me have his copy of ...

first time nouns ever played live

it was the end of the night at a Blue House show in september of 2013. Elgin, Tyler and I had been playing together for about 2 weeks, and just happened to be at the show. People still wanted to dance and knew we were in a band, so they asked us to play a few songs for them, lol.

Mötörhead teaser trailer

while working on BLUE OF THE SEA, I've also been working on the score for Mötörhead, a film by JC Reams. Having a lot of fun with it so far, doing a ton of "field recording" AKA recording appliances around my home to use as instruments/recording the sound of me hitting a metal shed with a hamme...
