A big thanks to my Grandpa, Lee "Cappa" Hofmann, for turning me on to the wonders of old jazz footage via YouTube.

(My apologies Cappa, but it has to be Monk these days. Here's Wes playing Monk. Hopefully that evens things out a bit.)

Hi. Do you want to listen to the newest song from the Nate Dumas / Mouse & the Billionaire side project, Tricerapop? It's called Pills. Enjoy.

Popular Science Magazine was in attendance at the Handmade Music Night last Thursday, and they were kind enough to interview us and feature the GCe2 on their blog.

Thanks!

Hi everyone. I just thought I'd finally let you all see what I've been doing for the last few months. This is the GCe2 (Gestural Controller - Exploration 2). It makes music. It could do other things as well, but we'll have to wait and see about that.

There's a bunch more information here if you're interested.

Happy New Year, y'all.
