August ends; Album update

Well this month flew by! I currently have approximately 7 songs reaching a mature shape. As soon as I hit 10-11 I am going to trigger a bullhorn “Pencil’s down!” command and begin the final mixing and preparation. So far, you can look forward to songs that include scenes such as: A family wronged in [...]

My new site design

I built this site design from scratch. However, some of you may find that I am very clearly influenced by a certain blogger in the typography and color choices. I doubt he’ll ever see this site, but if he does then I hope he takes it as flattery. For what it’s worth, I coded it [...]

Orient Is His Name

Lee Bozeman (Luxury, All Things Bright & Beautiful) has just put out an EP entitled Mea Culpa under the moniker Orient Is His Name. I had the privilege of contributing to one of the songs on it. Definitely check it out. It’s available for download here: http://orientishisname.bandcamp.com/

Some websites I’d like to point out

Just wanted to take a moment and point out a few websites I (or someone close to me) has had a hand in. So, without further ado: Rotating Pilgrim http://www.rotatingpilgrim.com With a title inspired by the writings of people such as Søren Kierkegaard and Walker Percy, I started this site to post writings, meditations, thrashings, [...]

Good news

I got the job in Lima, OH working as Instructional Designer for Rhodes State College! Woohoo! This isn’t news to 99% of the people that read this blog, but I figured I’d get it up for-the-record. I’m going to be doing a lot here and I look forward to it all coming together. Creating workshops, [...]

Lately

Lately I’ve been recording the Stop Don’t Stop record. It’s been sort of slow, but it should be pretty good. The first full-length that will come of a band that I have been in (thus, I am not counting The Family Album from ’05). Aside from that, I am now in search of a job. [...]

Final show for The Tapes

Last night was the final show for The Tapes. What a sendoff. They played just about everything from their new album, Out of the Great Black Swamp. You can pick that 11 song beauty up at the Pseudobook Music Store. I had the good fortune of playing banjo on A Silver Song. What classy guys. [...]

dunvint

This past weekend my friend Benji Robinson visited and we spent some time recording a number of drum tracks for Dunvint. There is no web home for Dunvint yet, so I keep pointing links to the entry on the Pseudobook Music Blog which can be found here. That’s our demo song of our (not avant [...]

mastering

Lately, I look at tasks, skills, and other projects in my life and think about completely obliterating them. I look at a piano and I want to be fluent, smooth, controlled, etc. with it. I see an old 8-bit Ninja Gaiden game and I want to master it, be able to beat it without dying. [...]
