welcome to my bird's nest, a collection of the things i make and find, of the stories i carry. get cozy.
hear what you want to hear here(s):

i make sistersongs in the band, FESTIVAL
i make whimsical little movies
i contribute to collective media-making
hear the sounds i make alone.


that's a lot of arms and legs. one day perhaps it will all fit together in one place.

Our bigtime hero, Seth Lorinczi, of Little Golden Book Studios put a secret FESTIVAL track on his new website! Wonderful tracks from the likes of Corin Tucker and The Golden Bears, to boot!

Magpie Magazine used a never-before-heard FESTIVAL track (we have a pile of them - I think that’s called an album?) as part of this fundraising vid.  Get a little taste of the new songstyles.
