Beef Studio

Love and respect to the wonderful CITY OF TOMORROW woodwind quintet for making this amazing performance video of my composition “40,000 flies running the arms of my soul, singing…”

They are such amazing musicians and very cool people. I feel pretty lucky to know them.

Check it out!

Facebook reinforcing the decision to not participate in the sham they’re trying to push as legitimate avenues for conducting business. Shut my page down for no reason. I haven’t posted anything on Beef Studio for a while. I wonder what could have been flagged for violating “community standards.” 🤦🏻

I have a bunch of music available on Bandcamp. Check it out.

Hopefully I’ll have a bunch of new stuff on this Bandcamp page by the time the next big bAnDCaMp fRiDaY rolls around.

I’ve been busy. So have you.

THE BLEED, by Ken Topham 11 track album

I guess this little guy turns 16 today 🎂. There’s a whole backstory to this album. I won’t bore you with all the details, but it started out that it would be a split EP with another local Santa Cruz band that was on the same label. It didn’t pan out. I ended up recording and mixing the whole album in my apartment, using GarageBand 😝. Then we drove up to Oakland for a day to engineer it with the great Dan Rathbun of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum at Polymorph Recording (a very exciting day for me). I did all the artwork by hand. All hand-cut and glued collage with some paint here and there. All the writing was done with a toothpick dipped in ink. The original artwork is long gone; vaporized and/or disintegrated 🤷🏻‍♂️🪦. Cheers 🥂
