Metatron Studio World Tour 2024
Marina and I are on a whirlwind tour focused on music and art residencies! This is Metatron unleashed! Watch out world – our little content studio is cranking out projects, individually and collectively. The tour is still in progress but here’s the story so far:
July 10-31 NEW ENGLAND
Music by the lake(s)! Baxter Lake, NH and Assawompset Pond, MA
We had a great time visiting family and hanging out with old friends in New England. I mixed and mastered God’s Green Earth and made serious progress on Web of Lies – two of the four tracks from my latest EP, The Great Resignation.
We also had a weekend hang with my old bandmates from My Hip, all lifelong friends, where we shared music and jammed. Such a great time. And I got awesome input on the EP and Judgement Day from so many talented folks who I greatly respect and admire.

August 1-25 FRANCE
After splurging for a few days in Champagne, we spent about three weeks at an amazing music and art residency in northern France.
I finished recording, mixing and mastering Web of Lies, released The Great Resignation EP, and threw a record release party in a cave! Marina created Memento, an amazing participatory sculpture installation with a large human brain and a neural network made of other residents’ replies to a set of questions about life – and finally all fed into an AI model to create a unified manifesto.
Then at Marina’s suggestion I led a drum workshop, Drumming for the Brain, where I taught folks on a drum kit, and watched their minds blow up. We minted a dozen or so new drummers… achievement unlocked! And Marina led a Goddess Walk workshop.
A lot of amazing art and community, and we made several new friends from around the world!
Here is a FULL WRITEUP of our amazing time in France!
August 26-September 16 GREECE
We’re at week three of the Eutopia artist residency in Kavala, Greece. Marina is cranking on a beautiful Gorgona (γοργόνα), a mermaid sculpture inspired by our time on the seaside.
Me, I’m spending most of my time on admin and thinking about how to get Judgment Day funded to the next level… but I’m also slow cooking my new concept album, The Golden Road. I thought it was going to be prog rock but now I’m leaning toward a dance record… time to
There is a nice digital piano here, and a decent classical guitar. So it’s not out of the question that I’ll write a few new songs during the remainder of our stay…
