Click here for our info on Monkeytown’s website. The calendar for August was just launched.
We’re getting excited for our upcoming show!! Mark your calendars and send an RSVP here. August 6th, Thursday at 8:30 PM. We are currently looking for a second act to play with us, open to suggestions!
Soon I will be posting the massive amount of photos & video that were taken this weekend in the Chrysalis Dome from the festival we performed at in upstate NY this past weekend. The rain gods did not hold off on any rain that they had planned for us despite my plea, but as a result the adventure became that much more spontaneous and unpredictable.
Unfortunately we were only able to get Chrysalis up for two nights before the rain turned everything into swamp lands. We then took our cables, projectors, tarps and equipment over to a smaller inflatable dome to keep the party going to finish out the weekend. Either way, the project continues to become more interesting with each launch.
Thanks to everyone who made it all the way up there and stuck it out through the rainy conditions. I had so much fun working with everyone and experimenting with this amazing project.

Just a quick update to say thanks to all of you who came out to Lorenz Studios last weekend for the Chrysalis Dome fundraiser. Saturday night was a beautiful night with 6 projectors running in the front of the dome, live band and djs. This weekend we’ll be taking her to the Starwood festival in Sherman NY, outside of Erie PA. I’ll be driving 7 hours tomorrow morning with friends, camping, and computer gear in tow!
I expect that I’ll be projecting video for the next 4 days on the dome! Much much photo & video will be sorted through and posted here in the next week. Then it’s time to prepare for Monkeytown with Kodomo, Thursday August 6th, 8:30PM!!
Thats all I have time for, for now! Struggling to finish editing for the night at the day job. Then movie trailer graphic revisions. Then VJ editing. Then packing gear. Then a stop at Trader Joes to fill my coolers… Don’t know which direction to go in first. Full report upon return!
Pray to the rain gods and please ask them to hold off on any precipitation until next week!!

Tonight I’ll be improv-VJing at a spot in NY called Le Royale. Every Thursday night friends of mine from Waking Dream & Light Harvest Studio provide visuals for a party called Sheik N’ Beik. Tonight will be my first time joining, so come check it out if you’re in the neighborhood. I’ll be there from 11PM into the early hours..
New projects are underway for upcoming summer festivals and collaborations. One that I’m particularly excited about is a project called Chrysalis. It’s an inflatable, multimedia dome, which stands at 100′ in diameter. 12 projectors will be affixed and mounted on the inside to create a 360 degree live video performance. DJs, VJs, musicians, dancers, and puppeteers will be performing from within, and will create an incredible, experimental, interactive, multimedia experience. The project was conceptualized by my friends of Waking Dream and Light Harvest Studio.
Tonight I designed a flyer to promote a few upcoming fundraiser dates for the project. I’ll be projecting visuals in the dome on Saturday July 18th, with Waking Dream, Light Harvest, and Levitation Theory. There will be endless amounts of music both nights, and camping available for free.
Make sure to mark your calendars for July 17th, 18th, and a pre-event fundraiser at the House of Love on July 11th.
