Overdue Update
Hey loyal readers!
Is there anybody out there? Once again, you may have been left to think that nothing is going on with me musically. I see that it's been more than 80 days since I've posted here. Whoops. Well, the good news is that I've been busy, busy, busy, and new music is coming soon. I'm just lousy at communicating, as usual!
Much of my musical energy this year has been directed to Ascent. Thanks to Christina's efforts, we are keeping busy and building up steam (check out the new website she created). We've been playing gigs all over Orange County. At each gig, I've been fine-tuning my one-man-band routine by looping guitar, percussion, Ebow, guitar-synth and samples. We are also three songs into recording our new CD! I'm very excited about this music, and I think these are some of the best-sounding recordings I've been involved in. The recording has benefited from all the research and development I've done since starting this blog, as well as Christina's critical ear. We plan to release our CD as mp3 downloads, one song at a time.
The first song, "What the Crows Know," should be available within the next week or so. The songs will be available on a variety of sites, including iTunes, eMusic, Rhapsody, LaLa, and so on. As each song becomes available, I will post on this blog about the writing and recording process. So it will be a lot like the Virtual CD, except that you'll have to actually buy the songs for 99 cents each, rather than just get everything for free. But then, what else are you really going to do with 99 cents? Seriously. And if you've been downloading my Virtual CD, you're already about fifteen bucks ahead, so it will balance out!
There may well be more free Virtual CD tracks in the future. I have more than a few unfinished pieces lying around that may get up and walk at any time. In case you haven't noticed, all the Virtual CD tracks are now located at a different address: obsessivemusic.info. They are still 100% free. Feel free to direct all your friends and acquaintances to this URL to download the whole thing.
In addition several upcoming Ascent gigs, rumor has it that I may be playing a gig or two with the Courtney Chambers Band, as the bass player. Courtney rocks, so check out her music!
