Oh man, where to start? Since 2010, I've released another solo album Terroir (2012), toured Europe, Australia, North America and Japan with Crimson ProjeKct (2011-14), have become a nomadic gypsy and started a new band with fellow bassist Marco Machera called "EchoTest." We've just put out our third record, From Two Balconies, and it's myproudest work to date. I feel like these songs have been fully realized, reaching their maximum potential. This is our take on a classic rock concept album.

In July I see myself sleeping for the entire month, but in reality, I'll probably be hard at work on EchoTest's next album, as well as remixing our second LP Le Fil Rouge for a vinyl release. I plan to debut that as well as promote From Two Balconies with tours across Europe and America this fall.

We had a rare day off before our show in São Paulo, and our promoter informed us that one of my favorite bands, Tortoise, was playing in town that night. Adrian and I went, and we scurried right up to the front... of course within 30 seconds he was taking selfies with Discipline-tattooed concert goers.  After the show we got to say hello to the band, and it really was a full circle moment for many of us... a beautiful moment that involved tears of joy.

How about some shameless promotion?
