New album on the way...

I have been hard at work on a new album and it is getting near completion. All of the songs have been written and I am in the fine tuning phase, to make sure each song is perfect and as interesting as possible.

While making this album I was concerned with 'feel'. Whatever length the songs ended up being while recording the bed tracks is essentially how long they will remain. If a song ended up being 7 minutes it will remain that length, but I endevoured to work with the song to make it live and breath and to feel exciting and natural...if that makes any sense. Unlike 'magnetic II', I made a conscious decision to not edit length to challenge myself to be more creative with instrumentation and melody.

So, because of this, the album will feature only 8 tracks and will be about 45 minutes in length.

Here is a listing of the tracks I anticipate being on the final release:

shoreline
the red sea
a cycle of days
action stations
lso
circumstances
ghosts and locusts
without strings (june '44)

I hope to start mixing and mastering soon. I will update here as things begin to happen.

I am back...

Well, I am back from my trip around the world. It is great to be back home. While traveling, I had hoped to come up with enough material to fill several albums. However, that was not the case. There were a lot of ideas, but not much more.

I do have four songs toward the next album though. Of course, it remains to be seen if they make the final cut or not. I think that they will.

So, I guess that is it for now.

Ciao
