Foxy Digitalis
It’s my birthday and I’m rambling on (and on) about one of my favorite albums from the year so far. Can’t complain about that. Plus a bit of Wet Tuna and Bob Bellerue news. Tomorrow’s episode is on Patreon, so today is a great day to sign up. Don’t forget to take advantage of the […]
I can’t believe it’s already March. That is absolutely wild to me. A quick reminder that Foxy Digitalis Daily is over on Patreon today, where the good times continue to roll. Sign up if you’re able! Also, a new EP from my long-running solo project, The North Sea, is out today on A Red Thread. All proceeds […]
Tuesday is objectively the worst day, but some cool new stuff from Relative Pitch and an incredible Clarice Lispector interview are helping. Thanks, as ever, for the enthusiasm and support of Foxy Digitalis. Album of the Day: Deathprod “Compositions” Additional Links: Relative Pitch Templo Animal New Yorker Interview With Clarice Lispector Foxy Digitalis depends on our […]
This is the one. Joined by Cecilia Lopez on synthesizers and Brandon Lopez on double bass, Forbes Graham scrawls out the last vestiges of a lost civilization.

Beyond its physical size and scope, the performance itself is something from another world. Lopez’s ability to bring a seemingly endless number of disparate threads together […]
When an album opens with “March Motherfucker” and “Dance Motherfucker,” it’s going to be one hell of a ride. Brandon Lopez joins up with saxophonist Steve Baczkowski and first-call drummer Gerald Cleaver (along with Cecilia Lopez on synthesizer for one piece) to crank out a first-rate slab of free jazz experimentation. Veering between straight on […]
Everything disintegrates eventually. Whether it sinks back into the soil or eviscerates itself into ephemera, sucked back into the open air, permanence isn’t real. Across more than two hours, Bellerue and a crew consisting of some of the foremost artists in the avant garde and free improvisation world ratchet up a bevy of combustible tensions, […]
Few things get my blood flowing like seeing and/or hearing a mind-bending concept not just come to life, but surpass all reasonable expectations. Cecilia Lopez’s incredible piece, Red (DB), looks and sounds incredible on paper, but watching the video of the performance and listening to these sonic tapestries, it becomes one of the most captivating […]
