i’ve posted two more songs to the audio page. these songs were recorded while collaborating with drew rydberg right after i had moved to nashville back in 2004. we met via the tapeop messageboard. we actually recorded close to 11 songs during a short time, these are two of them. the january 24|25 song was a track we recorded with drew’s baritone acoustic and my late 70’s guild acoustic. the ladynekidlike part 1 & 2 was one of our many experiments. we used a circuit bent drum machine, a thumb piano made from a coconut, drums we recorded to a mini-cassette and played back in real time during the bass part, and other things of this sort.

work continues on the new house and land.

so, tonight i decided to upgrade and add some things to the webpage. everything seems to have worked just fine. email me over at the contact page if you find any errors. for now, if you sign up, you will see a generic login/singup form. i may or may not update this to match the theme of the site.

oh, i added a song to the audio page that is from an 8 track cassette recording i did a couple of years ago for a rapid composer consortium. we had to write, record and mix a song within 12 hours, that is the product of the process. it’s called “we were in a race”. enjoy

well, a whole summer has passed since my last post. we’ve been incredibly busy building a new house on 5 acres east of Nashville. we are really excited and can’t wait to get our things moved in. it looks like we will be able to move in the second week of november. i will also be starting on the new studio as soon as we get moved in. the slab floor is poured, the exterior walls are studded, the plumbing for the kitchen and bathroom are already roughed in and i should be ordering the trusses by the end of november. the studio build-out will be a drawn out effort as it will be built with quality and when money is available to put forth. in the meantime i will setup the console/gear in the new 2 car garage and finish my record starting in december.

i’ll also be starting a record with Jason Melcher this winter. various friends will be playing on the record. look for that next year.

the sequoia album we recorded at zero art studio is done and you can buy one from the band.

cubs – playoffs…who would of thought. 3 and out i would venture to guess…
