Music
In my dreams I'm a big rock star. So whenever time affords, I bang away at the piano or the guitar and write songs.
UPDATE LATE 2026
Alex Tamulis and I are putting the final touches on tracking for the new Skeptosphere full length album (do they still call them LPs?) due early 2027. We’ve tapped Mark Zonder again on drums, plus we also have Leo Margarit from Pain of Salvation playing with us on a few tracks! And the mighty Simone Mularoni (guitars for DGM, and likely had something to do with production on some of your favourite metal albums) will be handling the guitar leads and the production.
We’re all getting matching basketball jerseys to mark the occasion. Because basketball is Canadian. And I don’t even like basketball! Exclamation mark!
I’ll be sure to make a bunch of noise in early 2027.
