I am working on media for both the Vimeo channel and a new (as of today) Youtube channel for Eyeslit’s viral content. At this point, you can experience original music and abstract viral projects. The viral addresses are:
Eyeslit-Tube
Eyeslit-Vimeo
Both channels contain almost identical content, so please choose your favorite and check back regularly as there [...]
Ten Sunday morning album recommendations for blissful passage and solitary contemplation. What they all hold in common for me is their ability to create a certain kind of mood, a dream-like state of almost cinematic beauty. Perhaps they will serve you well, too:
1. Harold Budd: La Bella Vista
2. Willits + Sakamoto: Ocean Fire
3. Daniel Lanois: [...]
Today, amidst a rainy May day, my copy of Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s new album “Lie Down in the Light” arrived. What is refreshing is that I know that this album will remain with me. That is, I will be returning to this music for a long time to come. I knew this even before I [...]
Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s live album “Wilding in the West” will be my soundtrack to this spring. The satisfaction gleamed from listening to new live recordings of a familiar artist is beyond words.

How are we supposed to react to this video? What is this publicity image saying to us? What creeps in below the radar and why is this [...]
In his song “Fine Wine,” from the Sensational meets Kouhei self-titled album, Sensational repeats “Doing it all the time. I got that taste like fine wine.” I think that this is a perfect description of this obscure artist’s addictive verbal flow. For one to truly appreciate the genius of Sensational, one must devote oneself to [...]
It is a rainy Friday afternoon and what a perfect time to revisit one of my favorite albums, which is the rare gem called “Wai Notes” by Dawn McCarthy & Bonnie “Prince” Billy. Quietly released after BPB’s beautifully orchestrated/produced album “The Letting Go,” “Wai Notes” reframes many of the songs from “The Letting Go” through [...]
