I’d place Hol Buamann’s music in the minimalist / experimental / ambient category.  He’s French and his real name is Olivier Orand.  I think there are some really cool sounds on this record and it’s definitely worth a listen.  I love working to electronic music because without words it sets the mood without giving you lyrics to think about.  Check out the song We Are Analog by clicking on “Play All Audio Tracks” in the media bar below.

We’ve got major love for the folks at HUGE Theater.  Their fundraiser last week boasted a couple of our favorite celebrities and some of our cherished local improvisors.

Of course, we didn’t actually talk to any of the famous people.  Matt has no excuse.  I’m an introvert.  Also, what do I say?  WHAT’S MY OPENER?!

“HEY I LIKE MADMEN SOMETIMES I WATCH IT AND PRETEND I LOOK LIKE JOAN HOLLOWAY OH THAT WAS STUPID I KNOW SHE’S NOT REAL!  WHY AM I YELLING? CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH? OR SEE YOUR UNO CARD COLLECTION?  I…HATE MYSELF.”

Anyway, if you’d like to support HUGE’s quest to build a space for long-form improv in the Twin Cities, you can donate to their cause.

Big website update today!

Meet Chance and Nina.  They’re siblings and these are their portraits.

UPDATE: I had to pull this down because of a possible birthday spoiler! But, now their dad pretty much knows so it’s all good.
