I recently found a couple of older recordings I did early on in Bloomsburg, before I embarked on completing the “Our Souls…” album in its entirety. I had them labled under the moniker “Facing Conformity” and they were two of three. The third was a live version of Axis that really didn’t meet the dynamics of these two songs. So I skipped it.

These both were recorded with Audacity and then programmed and mixed in Reason, as these tracks were created right before I got into using Ableton for arrangement and mixing. i really fell in love with the detail of the drums I used in War, but I’m already considering a remix for Hey Media. On the other hand, I really loved the vocals on Hey Media and I would like to re-record them because of some timing issues. I’m also thinking I want to add the War vocals back in as well.

That should be enough commentary from me. Please enjoy!

Recently started on a third track of my new upcoming project that is tentatively titled “Meta Theories.” I’m slating release for next fall, but this is already shaping up to be a really busy year, so it may not come out for another year or so. But so far, the first three tracks will no doubt blow your mind as they have utterly destroyed mine.

So onto a big acoustic jam, furniture refinishing, and fodue FONDUE (i have ish). Enjoy!

tHANKS!

my apologies at being aways for so long. lots of new developments going on though.

if you visit my site and ever get really bored (which is really easy since i don’t update as much as i should), you may have noticed a neat little page to the right called “yelp.” yelp is a fun little “web2.0″ site where people congregate and share reviews of local commercial venues. i usually like to write a few paragraphs here and there when i go out about town. well, apparently the people at yelp like me so much i was selected to be an elite yelper! so check it out – my yelp site

BUT the REALLY BIG NEWS is that i’ve released two brand spanking new songs on the ethereal nation myspace site. The two tracks are:

1. C-Murder… Out (featuring Max Power aka DJ Scratch & Sniff aka DJ Shake & Bake III esq.) from the upcoming album “Catch Phrases of the Venerable Mr. Clinton Edward Creasy”
2. 58 W. Field St. (lessthanthree remix) from the upcoming EP “The Monument and the Cornerstone”

One of my goals this week is to slap together some cover art for The Monument and the Cornerstone EP and release those two projects in full. Crossing the fingers. Come to think of it, Catch Phrases already has album art, so who knows?

Keep it clean, Keeps it real

• second life
• i hate it, it sucks, and i’m mildly addicted to it.
• the single is delayed because i don’t like it. don’t worry, its not that bad.
• i’m thinking about starting podcasting back up. ping back on opinions concerning such.

pic of the day:

e?the?re?al? /?????ri?l/ [i-theer-ee-uhl]
- adjective

1. light, airy, or tenuous: an ethereal world created through the poetic imagination.
2. extremely delicate or refined: ethereal beauty.
3. heavenly or celestial: gone to his ethereal home.
4. of or pertaining to the upper regions of space.
5. Chemistry. pertaining to, containing, or resembling ethyl ether.

please also note the pronunciation. so ethereal being light, airy, tenuous, delicate, refined, and heavenly (which you could argue may or may not describe my music). and now lets look at nation to see what kind of idea i’m trying to create through words.

na?tion? /?ne???n/ [ney-shuhn]
–noun

1. a large body of people, associated with a particular territory, that is sufficiently conscious of its unity to seek or to possess a government peculiarly its own: The president spoke to the nation about the new tax.
2. the territory or country itself: the nations of Central America.
3. a member tribe of an American Indian confederation.
4. an aggregation of persons of the same ethnic family, often speaking the same language or cognate languages.

so lets see, a body of people… sufficiently conscious of … unity in the heavenly realm. the church? i’ll leave the rest up to you.

well, ok a bit of a rant… i can’t argue that point. but moving on, the third track of my EP release was finished last night. its another housey remix of an old emo song i did. there’s no vocals as there were in Seedling, but there’s a ton of layering and texturing interwoven with melodies and light beats, that makes me squirm. i’m not officially releasing the track yet, but if you want me to send it to you, you can message me on google. (plug for google talk)

also, you may have noticed that the site is uber busted. i’m working on that.
**edit** well, i need to re-css the blockquotes. they screw up my sidebar. also, scrobblepress is broken. you will have to rely on the lengthy list at the bottom of my sidebar. but i’ll give you a hint: i’ve been listening to my new single all morning.
