The short: I will no longer be performing under the title of ‘Chopstick’ and will go forward from here using Andrew Wayne, Andrew Wayne is Bored, or some other play on that phrasing. I feel enough people should know me as Andrew Wayne by now so I’m not worried about losing brand loyalty. (Pfft, what loyalty?!) The long: I’ve been… Read more →

“coffee for noise lovers & noise for coffee lovers vol 4”
MP3 FLAC I was really surprised I didn’t put up this blog post yet as with everything I have LACKED in my blog updates the main thing I was consistent on was uploading my coffee/noise special tracks. Each year when we do our IndieGoGo campaign to raise funds for the NorCal NoiseFest, I would offer a perk of home roasted… Read more →

“coffee for noise lovers & noise for coffee lovers vol 3”
MP3FLAC Like every other year I offer a coffee perk for the Norcal Noise Fest when we do our IndieGoGo campaign. The perk consists of a custom recording and a bag of home roasted coffee.

Chopstick – Ginger Garlic Fantastic (2011)
On this day in 2011 I had apparently spray painted the 30 second looping cassette tapes that I used for a tape series I called “Ginger Garlic Fantastic.” I had created a loop on my computer which is embedded here. Computer was connected to the tape recorder and I would record 30 seconds at a time, changing the parameters of… Read more →
Art Street: Noise at the West End Club 02/20/2017
We were thrilled to play a huge role in this year’s Art Street. Those from the Noise, Historian, and Trash groups had built a 1920’s speakeasy titled The West End Club which was housed within the few dozen art installments that were present at Art Street. In 2016 the group was responsible for Art Hotel which I had also performed… Read more →
Chopstick – Live at Naked Lounge 1/7/2017
