Griebo

I have a BFA from the music school at CalArts, which is the material result of what was ultimately a positive experience, since I made some wonderful friends there, though I contend that art school is (to put it kindly)
a deeply silly place

My first two solo albums were released by the Mille Plateaux label, and can be found on all streaming services and possibly at some record stores (though not on this site, as I don’t currently hold the publishing/distribution rights to them). I also appeared on several of their compilations, which are available via the same channels*. From 2006-2014, my primary focus was on live performance, and during that time I played quite a lot of gigs in a variety of locales and contexts; one particularly memorable set was described by Eric Avery as being “the first time [he] was scared at a show since the ‘80s”, which I consider to be praise of the highest order (though it may not have been intended as such). From 2014 to the present, my focus has shifted towards studio work, both solo and collaborative, with live performance being a special occasion rather than a regular occurrence. I do my best to temper my musical (hyper)activity by spending unfocused time with my wife and
our friends

Since 2013, I have been employed professionally with Cargo Collective, the entity which develops and sustains the platform on which this lovely website is built. I am very happy to have found a position working alongside such wonderfully interesting people. If you need a website, Cargo is the only game in town. Subscribing to the Cargo newsletter is also highly recommended, as I find it a reliable source of fascination (particularly the textual bits).
I don’t go in for the social media runaround, but that shouldn’t be interpreted as a lack of interest in communication (nor as my passing judgement upon the app-inclined). If you’d like to get in touch with me for any reason, no matter how frivolous, you can click the “Contact” link up there in the nav bar to send me an email directly. I’m glad to hear from any and all curious parties, so
don't be shy
