At long last I have the first remix from my electronica project finished! "The Front" is now available for MP3 download or streaming. Check out the audio section, here.

10 February 2005

Status update on projects: To be honest, I haven't touched any of my electronica recordings in months. However, my old versions are approaching 6,000 downloads at www.download.com. If you haven't checked them out...do it now. I've slipped to number five...and would love to boost that. Once I have these old songs mixed...I feel I can start on new ones.

I do have a new project to announce! I will be putting together a collection of cover songs. All of them will be rearranged around either the piano and / or acoustic guitar. I'll also be penning some cello pieces, and looking for musicians to play in the trio. I will be searching for musicians later this year. Right now I am arranging the songs, and so far the track listing includes:

• Something's Always Wrong (Toad the Wet Sprocket)

• Enjoy the Silence (Depeche Mode)

• Brand New Me (John Hampson, of Nine Days)

• Letters (Stroke 9)

• Live Again (Better Than Ezra)

• When the World Ends (Dave Matthews Band)

• Piano Song (Erasure)

Since all these songs are copyrighted...I'll have to work the bugs out with distribution. Most likely, it will be released as .flac or .shn for a small bandwidth fee and / or on a burned disc for materials fee only.

Lastly, I am writing songs guitar songs again...finally. I have some great things in the works. I'm playing with off-beats and interesting chords. Just need to hammer out the lyrics and fine tune melodies.

Since all of these projects are open and going on continually, who knows when they will be completed. Since I am a bit rusty, the cover songs will probably come first as I gear up for a solo album. That's all for now...Peace.

Huge Update! I have scoured through my musical past and archived most everything I have here. Information is now available about the bands I have been a member of in the past. While not all are represented, I left out those bands I only "jammed" with for a short time. Those bands included are: Next Best Thing, Mellow Star, and Fighting Goliath. The information provided include:

• History

• Audio Downloads

• Lyrics

Please take a look, its taken me quite a long time to complete. Most of the audio available has been digitized from cassette tape. Its not the best, but it is all that exists. Enjoy.

Welcome to the new website. I am in the process of writing new material and reworking old. Unfortunately, I have a lot happening in other areas of my life and music is a lower priority. Here is an update on my different projects:

• The Electronica Project

  • I am remixing all the songs. When final mixes are complete I will be uploading edits to http://www.download.com/. However, I may upload full versions on this site every once and a while.

  • New material is being written to round out an album.

  • Once satisfied with all the songs, I plan on doing some creative re-mixes of a few.

  • The album tentatively entitled "Something in the Water" has been postponed for the time being. No estimate on completion at this time.

• Pop Material

  • Re-writing of old material is in progress. Most of the changes will revolve around lyrics and structure. Once finalized, lyrics and demos will follow shortly afterward.

  • I have about seven new songs in need of lyrics and structure. No estimate on completion

• Piano Material

  • Same story as the other projects: I am writing, writing, writing.

I have also begun my Influences and Review sections with a huge feature, RUSH. That is 18 studio albums plus one solo album. More will come.
