New CD Available: Radio Waves

Radio Waves

At long last…I’ve had this CD sitting around for over 3 years, and it went through numerous changes along the way. I honestly feel this collection of songs represents who I am as a musician better than any others I’ve done. A wide range of music indeed…quite a ride if you let it take you along. It’ll be available from my site at microstick.net or if you’re in the Denver area, I’d be glad to meet up and get one to you. I’ll be having a CD release show at Swallow Hill on January 25th, playing a lot of the music from the CD, hope to see you there. Thnx for all the support over the years…much more to come…all bestest…Hstick

Hopelessly Microtonal Reviewed in Exposé Magazine

Then, there’s a nice review of “Hopelessly Microtonal” in the new Exposé mag…they’ve been around a long time, and focus on the more extreme side of the music biz…which I guess means me, ha, woulda never guessed. He described what I did in the book very well. Nice to get some press, artists gotta have it. I’m always grateful when people are interested in what I do; having this and the Now&Xen podcast come out at the same time is good timing.

Now&Xen Podcast

Neil on the Now&Xen podcast

Hey all… I did a nice Skype interview for the Now&Xen program. A couple of my micro colleagues have started this show, this is just the kind of thing we need. Informal, wide ranging, and lotsa fun. Yup, an hour plus, so if you are stuck in the casa from this “bomb cyclone,” you know what to do.

Check out the podcast:
