Sonflowerz Christmas Video

This is a video I made for the Sonflowerz 

I used Pro Tools, Apple Motion, and Final Cut

to make the music, motion graphics, and editing.

The music is a remix of Don Kochs amazing sequencing
and production for the song 'By Faith'.

New DESPERATIONBAND release 'UPDATE_LIVE'

Desperation Band has released a new live recording from the Desperation Conference two years ago.  This two disc set is our 'Live and in a Can' if you will, or our 'I Heart' best-of kind of album. I had the honor and pleasure of being one of the electric guitarists for this recording.  I love these songs as though they were my own and hope they continue to inspire praise for many years.

Wood shop

As promised here is a look at an attempt at carving an acoustic archtop belly.  I am proud of what I learned, but it doesn't make the cut for actually being an instrument.  So instead of joining all my other attempts in the garage I turned it into a cool accent piece for the music studio.  I won't venture to call it 'art'! its just really cool.


Description:  A soft wood similar to Spruce. Carved acoustic belly, cut in half and made into a nice accent piece. Finished in Linseed oil and bound with white plastic on the immaculate side. Mahogany stain finish and ebony wood putty on the distressed side. The distressed side has a hole and crack in the upper bout.The sound holes are bound with white plastic as well.

New Sonflower video and 'Motion' intro

As I learn Apple's 'Motion' each attempt makes huge leaps forward! haha Here is 15 seconds I am proud of for the moment, and a video of my wife, Elissa, teaching the dynamics of one of the new songs on the album 'BY FAITH' available on iTunes here: BY FAITH on iTunes

All the possibilities...

Here in this blog I would like to share an ongoing look in all of my creative outlets.  All of my roles in music, film and design, wood and my journey towards being a Luthier, I want to share!  I hope to keep this interesting and even useful in a professional capacity, so thanks for checking it out!
