WORDS TO LIVE BY

A truly inspiring interview by an inspiring musician.  I listen to this from time to time when my well has run dry.  A special thanks to Brian Pineyro for sitting me down to listen to this a couple years ago.  If you are an artist, you will appreciate this interview.

BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS

Heading down south for my first time ever in an attempt to play SXSW.

I have been very busy with school, but as always trying to keep my chin up.  If anyone could offer a place to stay down in Austin, or unofficial showcases/shows on the way home do not hesitate to email me at hfohr@live.com

LEAVING MY OLD LIFE BEHIND

Again and again you feel mislead by us. We are sorry but the pattern is hard to conduct precisely and in such frequent cycles. It was when we first got our periods that we started to hate how we had both been conformed by other women and our fathers. It was like sucking on pennies. But we are serious about what we are telling you here. It's like reaching into a tree and pulling out an oddly shaped fruit. Our hands have grown ten inches in the past three years and we have finally found a spoon.

ALL THINGS OPEN

Hustle and bustle, work, work, work.

Currently plowing through the winter, eye on the prize, and a well lit sun on the horizon. 

I'll be joining Bloomington/John Dawson's psych outfit Open Sex on guitar for a few shows in the upcoming months.  That, as well as other CDY 2012 shows including a SXSW excursion side by side with Apache Dropout.  Check Shows Tab for dates.

Let the mind melt commence

More soon, XX

MEMORIES OF IOWA

I was recently requested to play a solo acoustic set.  The junk has been piling up under my fingers and I've been left uninspired to write new material.  I have turned to challenging music in a live setting.  So here in lies 2 tracks from the live set, "Weighed Down" (found on the new LP "Portrait") as well as a cover of Daniel Johnston's "Despair Came Knocking". My first set as Circuit Des Yeux featuring just a jangly old acoustic guitar and voice. 

Download, listen and share, but beware, if you are searching for any sort of sonic experimentation.

Next, I've been working diligently recording a couple new tunes, which I will discuss in the near future.  Until then, please feel welcome to enjoy and share this video for "Twenty & Dry".  Done with the help of Cory Popp and John Sawyer, a lovely piece of work.
