Finally got around to creating a new track. It's only been 8 years. I said I was going to do a song a month... not in a row!

No Song For May... But I'm OK with that

Well, there's no song for May. Instead I've been working on some film music and getting ready for a Traveler live performance. Traveler is rehearsing on Sunday the 6th and I've been feverishly reprogramming some sounds to get ready. I was using the Roland SH-201 in conjunction with Reason for my sounds but I've finally decided to give up on the Roland. I have yet to get a sound out of the Roland that can't be equaled or surpassed by Reason (at least for Traveler music) so the SH-201 going on the poo heap. So, no song but I'm still doing tons of musical stuff, and that was the goal after all :-)

More projects and a jam session

Well, now I'm working on some demos for a film project. Some friends are planning to start a film project this Summer and I've been asked to come up with some music for their consideration.

Meanwhile, Traveler continues to meet and practice. We have another jam scheduled for Sunday the 23rd. How did I get so busy? Not that I'm complaining :-)

Well, April is Finally Done... in May

Finally got the April song done over the weekend. Yeah I know, it's May...

Finally getting going again

Laid down the bass and rhythm guitar parts this week. This month has been particularly tough on getting anything done. Other commitments, travel, etc. and now I'm getting ready for another Traveler jam on Sunday. It's all good though! Next week is looking pretty clear so hopefully I'll be finished before the end of the month. If not, then not; no sense in compromising the music just to hit a deadline.

April Song Underway

Finally getting back in the studio after a couple weeks of doing things not musical. Lyrics for the new song are written and I think I have most of the parts worked out. Time to record!

Bandcamp!

No, not as geeky as that sounds. I've set up a bandcamp account to act as my primary distribution site. I'm still going to post the mp3s here but if you want to listen and get higher quality downloads, bandcamp will be the place to go.
