Happy New Year!
2017 is slated to be an exciting time for my fans around the world, as I have several projects to announce!
First up is my debut at film production! A Celebration Of Life is the name of the mini-movie, which is slated for an early spring release. Though it's not a production in the full sense, I am compiling pre-recorded footage and using my own editing techniques to create an audio-visual experience, the soundtrack of which is my solo album of the very same name. This project was conceptualized back in 2014, but I had zero video-editing skill at that time. Over the past couple of years, I have learned basic editing techniques, and though I openly declare that the methods used are basic and simplistic, I also assert that this film will make an artistic statement. The production of A Celebration Of Life began in December, 2016. The film will be released on my YouTube channel for free viewing; I have not yet decided whether to also make a physical copy for commercial release.
Second up is my vocal debut! The band name is Cognition, and is currently a one-man project, though I may assemble a band in the future. The debut e.p. Separation Anxiety is slated for a late spring release. Recording began in April, 2016, and is almost complete. Mixing began in December, 2016. Several engineers have contributed to the recording of the music and programming of the drums, and the project is being mixed by Spencer Fox at No Passenger Studio, a mobile recording facility based in Madison, Wisconsin.
Third is the Realm Of Glass debut album! I recorded my bass parts for this cd from November, 2014 through December, 2015. After being sent off to mixing, it was determined that all of the vocal tracks had to be re-recorded, due to an engineering error that had afflicted all of the original vocal recordings. These songs were all re-sung from October, 2016 through December, 2016. Spencer Fox is mixing this album, which is slated for a summer release.
Fourth is my fifth instrumental solo album! As yet untitled, the recording of this album began in November, 2016. It features a plethora of colorful guests, and is slated for a late 2017 release. Spencer Fox is recording and mixing the album, and Joel Wanasek will master it at JTW Studio.
In addition to my creative projects, my music lesson business is booming! I have started several brand-new students in the past month. Some are guitar students, and some are bass students. Things are so good, in fact, that I am increasing my rate, as of New Year's Day! Already-enrolled students are grandfathered in at the old rate.
Thank you to everyone who has purchased my music and contributed to and shared my musical journey with me so far! This is just the beginning!
