I often wonder if my schtick is being serious about being unserious or being unserious about being serious. Maybe it’s both. Maybe it’s neither. Maybe the concept doesn’t even make sense, but when I think about how I think about making music or art or whatever, seriousness is one of the big barometers that comes into play. As an example, […]
It’s time for another random blog post! I’ve been posting about nothing but Punk Rebel Renegade for a while, so why not talk about something else for a change? How about some insight into the possibly boring parts of what I’ve been doing and learning lately? If nothing else, it’ll be a good way for me to reflect on what […]
Here’s the announcement you’ve been waiting for. My new album, Heat Stroke, will be available everywhere January 27th! Really, everywhere. Buy the whole album. Buy a song or two. Stream all the songs to your heart’s content. However you want to listen to it, it’s going to be available. Well, it won’t be available on vinyl. It’s kind of risky […]
So you want to hear some song samples from my new album, Heat Stroke? Well, you’re in luck! I happen to have a mashup of most of the tracks on the album. right here! Below you will find a streamable audio file that contains about 15 seconds of 8 of the 10 songs that will be on the album to […]
It’s safe to say that recording for Heat Stroke is done. This STILL isn’t that post that I’ve been alluding to for months, talking about each song all in depth and whatever. But there’s still some meaty news to talk about, maybe, probably. I figured it was worth talking about the process of mastering and even the album art, since […]
Long time no blog. It’s hard to figure out everything that has happened since the last blog. The most momentous event to happen is the preparation for mastering. If I wasn’t clear about it before, I’m definitely getting Heat Stroke mastered. It’s something that I’ve never done or even knew much about until a week or so ago.
You may have noticed a delay in this going up. Nobody reads these things, but I’m sorry anyway. Last week, one of my eyes got super irritated from my contact or something and so I was half-blind for the whole week. Not being able to see inhibits my ability to see a computer screen. So I couldn’t work on music […]
Apologies for this blog going up late, but there’s a good reason for it. Just to catch everyone up, I imposed a deadline on myself on recording. That deadline was the end of September. There were some reasons for that; some were reasonable and others were arbitrary. Regardless, one of the biggest reasons reared its ugly head about a month […]
Here we are in week 10 of recording of Heat Stroke. In last weeks blog, I said it would be the second to last one in this Recording Heat Stroke series. But then I realized I plan on working on new songs until September 30th. So there will still be new stuff to talk about next week. It’s also possible […]
Alright, this should be the second to last entry in my Recording Heat Stroke blog series. Since last time I wrote in here, I touched up all of the previous songs, and more notably, I have started working on a new song, a sad one, If you’re not familiar with my catalog, then you might not know that I don’t […]
