Weekly live streams & recording sessions

Every Tuesday @ 4:30pm PST you can catch my Breakdown Therapy sessions on Twitch.tv. Breakdown Therapy is an hour-and-half deep dive into new, unreleased and fan favorite Progressive, Melodic and Deep House cuts. Each week features unique tracks, focusing on music discovery, meaning you won't hear the same tracks week after week. It's a laid back session, hanging out, playing music with a little chatting here and there.

Make sure to subscribe/follow on the streaming platform of your choice, because I also live stream any DJ mix set recording session I am working on. I am a resident DJ and contributor to the Sound Avenue Label-group (Sound Avenue, 3rd Avenue, Future Avenue and Crossfade Sounds) and I also record a semi-regular long form series called Melodic Dreams, which are posted on SoundCloud and YouTube channels.

Watching HalonVision (generative visuals)

Every live stream features a visual paring using my custom VJ system, I jokingly called HalonVision, when I was developing it. The name stuck. HalonVision is a custom built tool developed in Cycling '74 Max 8. I have a collection of over 1000+ video loops that I have been curating over the past four years (and continue to add to).

HalonVision randomly loads up to six videos at a time, applies real-time GPU shader effects (coloring, kaleidoscope, mirroring, etc.), modifies some of the effects based on the inbound audio from the mixer and creates the visuals, all in real-time. This means the experience is always randomly generated, and we all won't know what to expect to come out of the box until we see it on the screen. If you want to learn more about the history of HalonVision, sign up for my newsletter. I have the full backstory as part of your introduction...
