> On March 2nd, 2015, Jacob and I got together to record some Linnstrument / Continuum Fingerboard duets. It was also Lou Reed's birthday, and this piece reminded me of things we explored together. Drones, close intervals, sum and difference frequencies. And Lou loved his Continuum Fingerboard. So this is dedicated to him.

## From Book of Sarth to Third Wall

He was one of the four people I thanked when [Book of Sarth](/conspiracies/book-of-sarth/) was finished in 2012: Jacob McCoy is unstoppable. On March 2, 2015, Lou Reed’s birthday, we recorded Linnstrument and Continuum duets; one became “[For Lovers](/transmissions/singles/),” dedicated to Lou, filmed that spring and released as a single in 2020. He plays the Linnstrument drones on the second [Introspections](/transmissions/introspections/) video, filmed and edited the two duets with [Sxip Shirey](/conspirators/sxip-shirey/) that same year, and plays bass on “[I Just Believe in Christmas](/conspiracies/i-just-believe-in-christmas/).”

At [Third Wall Studio](/conspiracies/third-wall-studio/) he is Director, Production, and he directed three of the studio’s films, all made in [Burlap](/conspiracies/burlap/): *Meatsuitz – Dare to be Delicious*, a meat-themed swimwear ad, December 2025; *Meatsuitz Family Vacay*, January 2026; and [*Through the Brambles*](/transmissions/through-the-brambles/), the studio’s 360° VR film, May 2026.
