It's been awhile since I've done any updates to this site but I'm back at it with some worthwhile news. I'm nearing completion of a new collection of tunes (previously called and album ...LOL). It's a project I've actually been working on since somewhere around the year 2000.

Most but not all the songs started with sampled loops of Dark Star Orchestra during the drum duo section as well as some of the open jam segments commonly referred to as "space". Then I layer different sounds and textures on top in a sort of "painting with sound" process until I'm satisfied with the final product. As with many artist, I often find it hard to call a new painting finished but after years of working literally hundreds of such "sound paintings", I have finally come up with a collection of ten "songs" I can call finished. ... almost... just working on the final touches of the last song. Then it's off to the post production of mastering, album cover art and credits, promotion, and release.

One of my problems was conceiving what musical category these works belong to but I've deduced that they probably fall under the big blanket of Electronic Music although a good portion of the sounds come from live recordings. Some tunes could be called soundtrack music although they haven't yet found a home in a visual movie or clip. Others may fit in the sub category of "Chill" or "Down Tempo" to maybe even "Lounge". I think some definitely fit in a category I recently discovered call "PsyDub".

So I'm getting excited about seeing the light at the end of the tunnel on this project as it comes to fruition. I think this thing is actually going to see the light of day in the months ahead. Please check back with new updates on this release.

Thanks for visiting!
