Pop Culture
“Live to Two” – Episode 01 features Pop Culture, a 6 piece experimental rock and jam band based out of Syracuse, NY. Fusing jazz, rock, prog, and funk, this band is certain to take you on an expansive musical journey from start to finish.
It was a lot of fun to work with this group in the studio on Saturday, April 06 2024 and to chat with them a bit about how the band got together, some differences between performing live and in the studio and some of the musicians who have inspired them.
The production team for this episode were Jason O’Neal and Mason Manteau.

“October 2023” – Viral Dissector
I like to explore and make all sorts of music. Viral Dissector is my more heavily electronic/synth focused exploration. The album “October 2023” is a collection of improvisational works using Moog DFAM, Moog Subharmonicon, Moog Grandmother, Roland TR08 and electric guitar. These improvisations were recorded over the course of one week in October 2023.
