Ember Music Podcast #1

My most recent project is compiling and narrating a monthly podcast for my artist-run net label Ember Music. 

This is the first in a series of regular podcasts that will highlight Ember Music artists. In this episode, learn more about the background and creative processes of Savaran, MobiusB, Kurt Lorenz and Slaphappy Mortician and hear a track by each.

The podcast is currently available on Soundcloud but will also be available on iTunes soon.

SCHALLGUTnetlabel slideshow

Here's a glimpse at some of the artwork I have been creating for German netlabel Schallgut:

SCHALLGUTnetlabel Team Member

I am now the official Graphic Designer/Artist for SCHALLGUTnetlabel. The label is brand new (January 2010) and they are just celebrating their first release: #SLG001 | SOFA TUNES | WE GOT for which I created the artwork.

I am hard at work on the cover of the next release and it should be out around March 1, 2010.

I have started a set on my flickr page where I am storing images that their artists can browse through and pick out art for their releases...
