well, that first month didn’t take long to pass, did it? i kept busy over the last month by starting a pretty nice exercise regime, building a whole new infrastructure for work and getting the bicycle ready for spring riding and commuting (if i can talk my wife into letting me ride 15 miles one way to work. she thinks i’ll be killed.)
believe it or not, i’m running anywhere from 2-4 miles every morning and enjoying it. i’m seriously thinking about trying a duathlon in june. run 2 miles, bike 9 miles, run 2 miles. a big change from beer, programming, more beer, hacking, a little scotch or bourbon, etc. you see the trend.
take a look at the new bike setup (ride surly!)

as far as music goes. i’ll be playing with my friends nate dort and josh fuson in the coming months. we’ve decided to get together on occasion and play some music . a downtempo kind of project ala american analog set, LOW, Popol Vuh, etc. we’ll see where it takes us. we are also still working on the zero art project as well. hopefully we will be able to move forward sometime this spring. if anyone is interested in helping, please do not hesitate to go to the site and send me an email.
my semiotics album is on hold until the studio done. the albums is so very close to being done, but time is limited and going to another studio isn’t very convenient. it will get done, but who knows when. i may post some songs that are near completion so you can hear where they are heading.
well, i’ve went ahead and added a mailing list to the site and you can sign up over there to the right of the page. just put in your name and email and you will be sent fruit baskets, free information, not so good advice and bliss.
the new homestead is close to being finished, which means the recording of Semiotics will be resumed. there are a few songs left yet to record and i hope to have them done by spring time or maybe even before the cubs play their first spring training game as they head into their 100th year of futility.
in the meantime, head over to jonathan coulton’s page and listen to some music.
it’s a good time of the year. the snow is beginning to go away, the hard-headed easter lily is coming up and blooming and baseball is less than a month away. things are incredibly busy here as of late. i just finished tracking basics for the new sequoia album here at Zero Art Studio and spirits are high there. i’ve also found a little bit of time to work on Semiotics, which is taking much longer to do because I keep adding more and more projects to the plate.
Mock Orange was recently here at Zero Art Studio mixing their upcoming album, which is still untitled at this point I believe. it sounds good, trust me.
i also have recently completed a live Zero Art Radio session with Patrick Krief from The Dears. Patrick has just released a solo album that is really incredible. you will be able to hear the session on Zero Art Radio in the near future. there is also a podcast in the works surrounding the session.
that’s it for now.
