I’ve already heard from a number of friends how completely insane this show is, so decided to check it out online. All I can say from the few glimpses here is, I’m glad I did. I can only imagine how cool it is live.

‘Times’ is the first release off my debut album, Story. We all had a blast shooting this video in a really cool old mansion out on Long Island, and I personally like how there’s a bit of conceptual play (multiples & times of day) between the music, lyrics, and imagery. For the time being at least you can download the entire record totally free here.

I’ve been familiar with Reuben Negron’s work for a number of years, but I was completely taken when I recently saw a selection of watercolors from his two most recent solo exhibitions at Like the Spice Gallery in Williamsburg.

The works consist of stunning, hyper-realistic yet somehow dreamlike renderings of couples or individuals in what appear to be highly personal, intimate settings. They are often naked, sometimes having sex, sometimes alone, and the themes that Negron is dealing with all seem to be connected to deep intimacy, natural sexuality, psychological dynamics (even within the context of a lone individual), and revelation (as opposed to exhibitionism). But it’s the feelings that the works pull forth that carry a weight and universality, elevating the experience of the work and imbuing it with a kind of natural and universal human holiness.

Quite simply, this was the most powerful movie I’ve seen in a long, long time. It altered my mood for a full two weeks after watching. Margaret is the second feature written and directed by Kenneth Lonergan (writer/director of You Can Count on Me, and a prominent playwright and screenwriter).

Featuring Anna Paquin, Mark Ruffalo, Matt Damon, and Allison Janney (who gives such a heart-stopping performance in only a single, early scene that her character’s presence is palpably felt for the entire film), Margaret is a forceful, elegant, beautiful, and at times extremely shocking meditation on tragedy, or more accurately, on the things that happen to/upon us and the ways in which we do or cannot reconcile them into a functioning notion and practice of existence.

Pax Humana’s debut, A Matter of Heart, is a rich and beautifully heavy collage of layered sonic experimentation by the Brooklyn-based duo. The tracks move between driving house beats, electro-symphonic, neo-futuristic synth classicism, processed, layered vocals that turn into waves of mood, subtle touches of a “world music” sound, and even live strings and horns played by the composer-producer duo that blend seamlessly into the overall progression. The pieces move in and out of each other to create an evolving sonic vista that feels like the aural equivalent of traveling through alternatively deep, warm, pulsing reaches of outer and inner space, and all with a beautiful attention to shimmering production detail.

From 11am – 7pm this past Saturday and Sunday (Sept 8-9), artists all across Brooklyn opened up their studios to the public in ‘a borough-wide initiative designed to foster personal exchange between Brooklyn-based artists, their communities, and the Brooklyn Museum’. Visitors nominated artists to be included in a group exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. It was a rare opportunity to experience some amazing artists’ works and processes up close.

The Being Experience is the creation of the singular New York based film artist Jennifer Elster. Quite simply, you will never have experienced anything like it. A multi-part film series aptly described as ‘unruly excursions into the recesses of the mind’, the series features Questlove, Moby, Rufus Wainwright, Dave Matthews, Paz de la Huerta, Alan Cumming, Gale Harold, Marlo Thomas, Famke Janssen, Terrence Howard and numerous others, with vocals by Yoko Ono and music by Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson and yours truly. (Full disclosure, I’ve been involved with this project on a music and editing level for some time, precisely because it’s such a powerfully original piece of human expression. I’m really just an enormous fan). Did I mention you’ve never seen anything like it?
