I was very saddened to hear about the death of Dave Ball, half of the legendary Soft Cell. Dave's keyboards and arrangements were the engine that powered the group, framing Marc Almond's evocative and dramatic vocalizing. Rest In Power, Dave.

Thanks to everyone who came to the JG Thirlwell Heaven and Earth Magic show in Los Angeles and made it insanely memorable and magical!

I'm deeply saddened to hear about the passing of legendary experimental film maker Ken Jacobs. He used strobing techniques to create 3D illusions, manipulated found footage, experimented with projection techniques and much more.
I collaborated with Ken on several films and performances.
RIP, Ken.
