Something Had to Break the Silence
Hello, dear reader, it’s been a while. I found one of my old videos and thought it was worth sharing with you. It’s a harmonic minor jam I shot while alone on the subway one morning. Nothing special, just fun,

Spontaneous Participation in Art
This has to be my favorite harmonica video of all time. I was visiting Gibbs Farm in New Zealand when I discovered this giant tensile sculpture by artist Anish Kapoor and was cosmically compelled to play into its echoing maw.
