I thought I would take a music break but decided fuck it, I'm going right to work on Turbo Volcano 4 which has the working title "She Wears Pink but Flies a Blue Lion". It may be a shorter EP with a few disco funk future laser disco songs. I'm still tinkering.

Hello. It's been a pretty frustrating couple weeks here on Planet Earth. I suspect most people probably feel this way. It's hard to focus on "fun" and "entertainment" while there are daily images of kids being bombed by the Russians. While there has always been war, and there's always something bad happening on a daily basis,...

Hear an early cut of the new Turbo Volcano song in development, Universe Tim.
This is a rough edit - it's the first song using my new analog synthesizer gear. The middle is VERY rough because my headphone adapter broke and I'm waiting for a new one. I mix loud and my family almost killed me yes...

The first of many! On Friday I filmed the first CGR Studio video (working title, I guess...) the first of about 1000 of these things. This is why the studio can exist, and why we're getting podcasts and Turbo Volcano! These little product pieces.

There's so much going on which is EXCITING that it's hard to keep up. First of all, I work in bits and pieces. All year you'll be seeing bite sized chunks begin to form one cohesive whole giant thing. But it'll literally take all year.

Greetings and happy Saturday! At the end of 2019 I had no choice but to sell off my beloved Canon 1DX camera, the Sony 4K camera, all of the mics, the SSD drives, amps, cables, high-end cards, connectors, and everything else related to video production. Video wasn't working, in fact, it was causing more harm than good. So, I ...
