Recently completed some artwork for Celer for their future release on the wonderful label Sentient Recognition Archive. Here is a preview of the artwork featuring a photo of mine for the cover. In all, a very elegant release from design, poetry and sound. Order the album here, which is currently in production to be out soon.

The Halpern Experiment, has currently found a home. It will be released on Resting Bell out of Berlin, in spring of 2010. THE is a collection of compositions created from a found healing sounds tape via thrift store. Currently cleaning up the compositions to be mastered by a very talented and prolific artist that requests to be unnamed until the official press release is out.

New gear, so new sounds, looking to work with beats again, and the possibility of live shows coming up soon.

Posted one of my photos as a joke on the Weather Channel’s website, and turns out they featured it. Pretty funny, considering the photo was taken months before Hurricane Bill and that is not my dog.

Late Summer Update!

Johnny — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:09:22 +0000

Busy! In all aspects of my life.

Photography- Have switched over to an all film outfit recently, have not found a use for my digital camera… Did a project involving the masking and double exposures on 35mm, pretty interesting results, follow the photo below for more results.

Design wise, busy with school just starting up, a few freelance projects here and there… New clients from all different areas, so expect more blog posts on what they have going on very soon.

For music, was interviewed and will be featured in the upcoming issue of Beat magazine out of Germany(more detais soon)! Other than that, music has been lax all around, some writing, looking for labels for future releases, but other than that, Counterspark is more or less on a hiatus, and focusing on the visual world. Collaboration with Tanner Menard is currently in the works, no date on the release…

Expect more details and images coming soon for everything.
