It felt great! And I'm energized to dig into the remaining tracks as well... I guess we'll see if my momentum is killed 😅
Also working on a little thing for Metaphysical Shitposting which I may finish today if my buddy is interested in contributing to it.
Anyway, still no telling *when* I'll finish #MechanicsOfMysticism but at least it's starting to feel like it *will* be finished again... For a moment I was beginning to doubt 😅

Last night I loaded up a track, and instead of playing it a few times, making a few notes and then staring into the abyss waiting for inspiration, I just got cracking on it. In the course of three or four hours I added a new section, implemented a new harmonic idea I've wanted to explore in that section, added a couple layers of percussion to the whole track, and did a bunch of cleanup/organizing on it to get it ready to do the final production push.

I've considered posting some of the early jams on SoundCloud or something... The final tracks won't sound*too* much like the early versions, but maybe folks are interested? I don't know, LMK what y'all think.
I'm also thinking I might do another EP release, or even a longer album length release, of some droney improvisations based around Strega + Terra ... So if *that* sounds appealing, LMK.

Right now, it has a weirdly jam-band vibe-- at least to me-- as I'm exploring some concepts of thru composition and layering performances inside the arrangements. But I've also been removing stuff almost as fast as I add it, so who knows where we'll end up?
The important thing, to me, is that I still feel like I'm making progress even tho my original plan completely fell apart.

Progress has been slow, but I am chipping away at it, bit by bit. It's definitely going to be recognizable as a follow-up to #PsychedelicGhostStories but it's going to be a pretty significant departure at the same time -- more exploration and emphasis on harmonic structures, and I'm attempting to use space a little more effectively on my arrangements -- it doesn't have to be so *dense* all the time!

New album update!
First off, the "bad" news: it's not going to be out in October/in time for Halloween. For the few of you who were hoping to hear it by then, sorry!
Second, it has an official name (though if it takes long enough to come out, even that could change LOL). It will be called The Mechanics of Mysticism.
Currently working on 13 tracks, but it could always shrink, or could even expand a tiny bit.
