music
Current Status:
Here's the current situation...
I play keyboards/etc. in Secret Chiefs 3, which recently sprang back to life.
I also play keyboards in Joshua Cedar's 70's Jazz Rock Revue doing lots of fun fusion/prog covers.
I also play bass/etc. in a PJ Harvey tribute band called Polly Genius.
I play keyboards in a new band with other Oakland weirdos called Lunar Mistake. We're already tracking our first album. Stay tuned!
I played bass in a loud/dark/heavy trio called Monstrika - a band that died during the pandemic. Real bummer, that.
I recorded piano on some tracks for the latest Igorrr album.
Meanwhile I also play everything in various studio projects, with material released under the name Bodies Floating Ashore (or my actual name).
I juggle several other curious projects, including playing stunt parts for other bands' recordings, composing video scores,
performing in cover bands for fun (and money), and all sorts of random music production.
Until their indefinite hiatuses I played bass in miRthkon, and keyboards in MoeTar.
And I was co-leader or side-man in a zillion other bands over the years.

other things
While not making music I work at UC Berkeley where I'm part of the world's biggest scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence (Breakthrough Listen) and helped maintain the world's largest volunteer computing project (SETI@home) during its entire 20-year life span. As well I work on some video games, backpack in the mountains or through the deserts, produce silly videos, or write compulsively.
