Welcome to the middle of April. Life situations move forward and attention lingers on things past and things to come, but the only reality is at the movable feast of the current moment. So, I do my best to pay attention, and rarely blame myself when I don't.
The new band that I've fashioned with Richard Cravens and Michael Robertson is called Hormone Junkies and is progressing nicely. We have about 15 hours of recorded material that we will be culling about 30 to 45 minutes worth of usable sound and fashioning into an EP. After that, rehearsals start for live performance and the video component. We anticipate that the first full length release will be a DVD. Individual audio files will be available for download and HD video clips as well. Such an amazing process!!!
I'm also working on the solo project Neologism with the help of Richard Cravens. This will be the first release that includes keyboard controlled synths and electronic rhythm tracks. Also, my 2004 album Ecce Homo should be available on iTunes and other download sources by the end of May. I'll keep y'all posted.

Past Musical Projects: Zagodka, Tropical Dump Truck, Duration, Split Brain Syndrome, C3, D4, AOIO

Be sure to check out my VIDEO of Regeneration. It's short, a definite experiment, but the soundtrack is pretty damn good I think. Just check out the VIDEO link under my profile picture. -Thanks!
