YD Industries

In collaboration with George Nachtrieb, founder of this masterwork of a website (YDIndustries.com), detailing the products and services of a fictitious mega-corporation. I suggested we start doing live events and allow people to peek inside the successful walls of this multi-national conglomerate. Inventing the persona of Dean Kramer to George’s Steve Musselman, I co-wrote and performed informative podcasts, generated the biting commentary in the company blog, acted and co-created powerpoint presentations for live Success! Seminars, and aided in the production of video shorts including the one below featuring the calls of the Mastodon. Among the things I am most proud of: developing the savory flavors of Condom Burst! Now available in Garlic Nan!

Uncommon Ground

Improvised with Reggie Watts to create the imaginary voices of plants in this project by artists Victoria Estok and Steve Lambert. It had its premiere at the Whitney Museum of American Art and was created during an residency at the fantastic Eyebeam in New York City.

Be sure to catch it if it comes to your town, but you can also watch the video below, or visit the Uncommon Ground page of Steve Lambert’s site to see and hear more. Which you should do anyway, cause Steve’s an amazing artist with some great projects up there. Victoria is equally amazing, so visit her site, too!
