Infinite Drosscape with Joshua Wentz

Here's all twelve of this year's Mike Oldfield covers.  Happy New Year!

Four different versions of the same piece of music, across 50 years.  Recorded live on Blast Radio 12.12.22.

Me being in a bad mood because it's December.  Rambling on Blast Radio.  And piano improv.

What's up?  Here's a demo, a song, and an improv.  That's what I got.

In this episode, I destroy something that I kept only to cause myself pain.

Bam!  A new episode.  Maybe I'm drunk.  I haven't had a lot, but it's STRONG.

Today I go through a few of the tracks I'm working on, which are rebuilds of things I recorded 20 years ago.  Trying to figure out if the bones are good.  I think they're good.  I hope they're good!

Enjoy the day.

Can you rely on yourself to "get it right" and be spontaneous at the same time?  What is improvisation?  What is learning a song?  How do you thread that needle?

We talk about "Forced Perspective", a new single from a band I'm in called Parc Department, and how being free-wheeling in composition for that song is now causing me problems.  And then I play the Rhodes for a bit.  Join me!

Hello!  This episode is about waiting around a long time to get a record.  The podcast is about burning down the ego, and in light of the tragic protest of Wynn Bruce this past week, I wanted to make sure it's clear that though the podcast is light, a man's death isn't taken lightly.  I hope that he is at peace and his family and loved ones are okay.

We listen to my cover of "Weightless", drink a NOLA Milk Punch, and set off for a micro-tour around the Chicago area.

When I'm feeling stressed, I play piano.  

Join me on Blast Radio on 4.19.22, at 4:19p Central to listen along with me as I stream Eiffel 65's 1999 album Europop from front to back.  You know you want to.

Two versions of the same song!  Songwriting!  Cynar!  Everything you've come to expect from this podcast.
