Oh, hello there.

Welcome to our new website - which is, coincidentally, a Tumblr blog as well. It is extremely (extremely) “web 2.0-friendly” which means you can do all of the usual Tumblr stuff but also read our bio, contact us, listen to our music, and a bunch of other things I can’t think of right now. Enjoy!

We covered Sun Kil Moon’s “Carry Me Ohio” for the Voice Project, an incredible initiative that uses music to raise awareness of women’s struggles in Uganda. I cannot tell you how much this song means to me, and it was a stone-cold pleasure to cover it for the Voice Project. Spread this link around, it’s important.

FILM: Tavet Rubel’s PIZZA (2010) After more than a year of futzing around, my good friend Tavet finally completed his masterpiece: a batshit brilliant piece of short film-making called PIZZA. It’s about a guy who eats a piece of pizza and then… well, you kind of have to watch it and see. I was honored to compose the score and contribute a few pieces of ARMS music to...

hypem: dogandponyshow: 1. Plug the thing in. I’m no technical wiz, but I’ve noticed that electric things always work better plugged in. 2. Wash your hands. You play better with clean hands. 3.
