New Site... New Music

Please LIKE the Ductape Halo Fan Page on Facebook.

This is a new year and it feels like spring is more the beginning of 2012 than in January. Lots of ups, lots of downs (as the Dude would say), but it has inspired new work. I am getting ready to release my latest album for Ductape Halo entitled FOND OF NIGHT. I recorded 9 songs, some new, some old, some just never recorded. I believe this LP will be very fun to listen to. The production uses some old techniques and combines them, taking what I have liked about past projects.

Speaking of past projects, There will be an anthology of almost 20 years of Ductape Halo recording self-composed music called MASTERS OF EVIL (1995 - 2012). I actually wrote my first song at 12 "Skies on Fire". I ripped off a riff from "Moonlight Sonata" and put this poem I wrote for a literary magazine in middle school. Not saying it's great, and you will never hear it, but it takes many tries to make good stuff. If it was easy, everyone would do it. This will come out after FOND OF NIGHT.

So, in the spirit of renewed creative energy, I redesigned the site. Partially because I lost my domain due to the fact I was unemployed. I just realized that it would be cheaper and just as effective to do it on blogger. There is much to explore because it represents all the media I utilize: music, art, film, cooking. Also has my appearance on People's Court wear my former band-mate (Tight White Jeans) tried to sue me for $5,000.

(give it to at least 1:14)

Please enjoy the media and look out for FOND OF NIGHT in the very near future, featuring songs like "Fools Decide", "My Mutha", "Mojo Hand", "Silk of the Snow" ...  to name a few. While you are waiting why not listen to I AM THE THIRD, getting ready to release a new extended EP and music videos! See us play at Pine Box during Bushwick Open Studios. Thank you for all your continued support!

Legend Podcast 08.19.10

Here we go again,with another segment of "Legend in my own Mind". This time I have a great video for you of improv song writing and at the end, an old tune "Dreamer" to close it out. Love the music, tried to make it even more captivating by doing a small amount of editing. Next time, I may impose a more creative  use of editing. My penthouse is featured as second character set in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York, US, Earth...

TWJ album completed this weekend


to all the Tight White Jeans fans, we are finishing the album this weekend!!!!

it's been a long time coming now. it was started in September 2009 and it is now January 2010. maybe it was fate that made it to being finished in the new year, because 2010 has so many great things in store.



i have been thinking about taking ductape halo out of retirement.  that's right, the one that got me to the big show. been listening to old stuff and while its great, i want to make some all new stuff, but working with some older ideas i never implemented. sort of blues/folk meets 80's techno pop. hahaha. it makes me laugh too. sort of the point. but not really, this is serious music.


i am about to go into the studio to start mixing step high with the boys. next step... mastering! i know your mouths must be salivating, but you gotta be patient. genius takes time. rest assured, this record will be coming to you shortly. :)

Here is a few live takes of us at Otto's Shrunken Head (NYC) last year

Ductape Halo - NEW SONG IDEAS

Will we ever understand his genius?

The Legend : age 4

The fist thing to know about ductape halo is that he is a folk artist that captures the true essence of americana with his haunting tales of redemption, lust and truth. ductape calls upon the spirits to write in the moment, much like improv jazz. most of these recordings are written at the moment it is being played. the words and inspiration come from the gospel, but not just from jesus. honest to the core, he is a song writer with a message of hope, no matter where you been. and if some beers get thrown in...get on the porch, get out the acoustic guitar, stomp your feet and thrown your beer or lady in the air.
