2012 Plans
New album ‘Love Wins’ in progress and sounding… so good.
Will be performing as Minikon at the Asheville Music Festival in August (also performing music from ‘Eternity in the Hearts of Men’ with Eric Painter)
After the launch of WiiU, I will disappear for three months.
Upon my return (in 2013) I will plan other live performances.

Japan Still Needs Us!
This is embarrassing…
Kizuna World (a non profit organization co-created by Ryuichi Sakamoto of YMO) is giving away free music and art with every donation to help Japan in it’s relief efforts. Is this the best America can do? Please, if you can, give to this super cool organization.
