How Things Are
Formed in 2024, How Things Are is 2/3rds of How Things Are Made. Brian Riordan and I focus more on electronics—modular synth and laptop performances and recordings—as well as electroacoustic approaches.

House Music
House Music is the duo of Eli Weidman and David Bernabo. Through largely improvised recordings, made in a house and released through the Ongoing Box record label, the pair focuses on pitched and non-pitched percussion, electroacoustic settings, and minimal compositions. Set against a world where humans frequently and willfully enact terror on other humans, animals, plants, and places, House Music forefronts (musical) space, conversation, and playfulness as a way to be in the world.
