Did you miss my stream yesterday? Well, it lives on as VOD, which I have embedded on my website (because why drive traffic to YouTube when I can drive it to myself?). Catch up on the making of "A Hidden Room in My Mind Palace" from my recent album:

THANK YOU! WE DID IT! Just 85 days into my Sell 100 Albums in 100 Days, we have achieved our goal! Yesterday's sale at Ampwall tipped us over the threshold to 100 album sales (including full discography sales) since release day.

Check out the album that at least 100 people were willing to pay real money for!

This video is one of the jams that got cut up, deconstructed, refined and built upon to make a track on my latest album. Watch the video to see where it began; click the track to hear where it finished!

A review of The Mechanics of Mysticism! They call it "an ambitious bit of occasionally abstract electronica mashed up with bouncing rhythms" and I can't argue with that!

Just published a new production diary for The Mechanics of Mysticism! Go read it:

(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.)

Well, my *incredibly* long-winded production diary covering the completion of writing on my next album is done. If you want way too much info on why it took me so damn long to finish writing this batch of tracks, it's here:

Here's an update on my upcoming album The Mechanics of Mysticism, wherein I discuss why it's taken me more than a year, where I'm at and some of what's left before it's finished.

Well well, I think I just finished the design elements for the cover of my upcoming album... we'll see if this is the final_final_final(THISONE).jpg version (album is still a ways off and so there's plenty of time for me to decide I need to change/fix/tweak something) but feels pretty good at the moment!
