I was very sad to learn of the death of Brent McLachlan. Recording engineer who recorded Brian Chase playing drums for the new Foetus album HALT at his 30 Below studio, among other sessions we did. He was also drummer of NZ bands The Gordons, Skeptics and Bailterspace. Rest in Power Brent, miss you.

Time to hoist the tree again. Three new blockbuster "leaves" appeared this year, not reflected on this photo - Xordox "Terraform", JG Thirlwell "Venture Bros Vol 3" and Foetus "HALT".
Seasons foetings and a happy new year. Let's hope we're still breathing, without any fear.

My old pal Jacob Kirkegaard was in NYC and we got to hang yesterday at my studio in Brooklyn. I met Jacob in Copenhagen in 2003 at the first freq_out sound installation project, curated by CM Von Hausswolff. We have since had adventures all over the world.
