  13. @ashnoodle Interesting. I am not sure there are notes on there regarding PGS. I *did* do a series of extensive threads here on Mastodon that I intend to make into a page over there, but I haven't gotten to it.

    The best way to find it is to search the #PsychedelicGhostStories hashtag here and then scroll down until you find the posts also tagged with #ProductionDiary -- sadly, afaik, there's no way to limit the search to posts that have both.

    I will make a page at some point, just haven't yet.

    (Or TL;DR is I will complete production on July 31 and move on to mixing, but there's a lot more to it for the curious.)

  35. 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.

  37. Haven't had a #production update for the Mechanics of Mysticism in a while... because I haven't had much to report. It's been a period of mostly laying fallow, thinking about the tracks and occasionally poking at them with a stick while saying "c'mon, do something" and doing nothing...

    But NOW! Now we're cooking again! A couple of months of mostly being distant and working on other stuff musically had broken something loose at last, and we're once again cooking with gas!

  39. 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.

  41. 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.

  43. 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!

  45. 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.

  47. New video! This time, it's a studio tour covering the core elements of my studio that I'm using in my writing/recording phase for the new album! I talk a little about the gear and a little about the process. Enjoy!

  49. Time for a quick #ProductionDiary Update! I'm basically back in #PreProduction, or more accurately in a hybrid preproduction/writing phase. Set up another jam last night and it was really flowing, sounded great. Going to do another performance of it tonight, then start another new one ... Finally feels like progress instead of treading water.
