...well sort of anyway. For a quick synopsis of what has been going on, check the bottom of the post.
Musically I've been reasonably active. Studying mostly. Am determined to develop a basic understanding of theory, composition, and arranging this year.
I've been really inspired of late by Max Richter and Murcof and am getting more deeply into artist like AES Dana and H.U.V.A.
I posted my first track ever in a public forum for listening and comment. Pretty excited by that. Good incentive to finish my latest set of tracks. The service is called SoundCloud. It's pretty cool. You upload tracks and can see comments about it, listen to stuff left by other members, leave comments, collaborate. Pretty neat. Invite only at the moment, and they don't give you but three invites to use. It's in Beta though so hopefully it will open up to a wider audience soon.
Anyway, you can hear the track here...
A couple of other changes....Notice the stations on the right? These are some of my Pandora Radio Stations. Pandora is such a cool and great service. The greedy f*cks at the record companies don't realize that they are killing the goose by putting them out of business. I'm beginning to think we won't see a revitalization of the labels until those old b*stards retire. Assuming they don't completely destroy the industry first.
Also, if you have some tracks of your you would like me to hear, or if you want to collaborate on something, use the dropbox on the right to upload some tracks. I promise a response to anything someone sends me.
Anyway. I'll try to return to more general interest topics next time. Good to be back. Feel free to comment or email. Take care.

Last post was in October of last year. All the best intentions to keep it up but, well, LOTS has happened.
--A new life entered the world on May 13th when my son Gabriel was born. This -- and everything leading up to it and everything since -- has been a huge and wonderful change.
--A life left this world three weeks ago when my brother died of liver cancer. A sad event, but one made easier by the strength of his character and his peace with things as time collapsed. He was (and is) a singular and special individual.
In between, around, and through there has been everything else!
