Ryan and Brian
Ryan Parker and I grew up playing music together, starting with the early days of Falter, and progressing through our musical training. These recordings came about from summers spent in the Parker basement surrounded by equipment and dope computers.

Vic, Zak, and I, after several years of talking about how cool it would be to get together and play music, finally made it happen. Despite the fact that my Fender Rhodes is missing several keys and is out of tune, Vic threw down and here is the result.
Intricate Machines
This clip from 2006 of Intricate Machines catches us in mid-stride taking over the LA rock scene. The best part about this show was the monster truck announcer that gave us a royal introduction. I’ve since stopped performing with Intricate Machines, but they are still going strong. Check them out if you’re on the west coast.
