Riceboy Sleeps w/ Jónsi, Alex Somers and TSO @ Dark MOFO

Jónsi (of Sigur Rós fame) and partner Alex Somers released a static ambient duo album in 2009 Riceboy Sleeps that has captured cult status for itself. American orchestra ninja David Handler orchestrated the thing, and together we performed it live in Hobart with Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra at Dark MOFO (Australia’s loosest festival).

I love this post show photo of Alex and me being normal.
