Archiving

I’m going through the process of collecting information through Archive.org from various past versions of this website to add to this version to make it a more complete picture of the last 12 years or so. It is embarrassing some of the design choices I’ve made over the years, but such is life. Anyhow, if you see weird out of place things popping up here and there, that’s why.

UPDATE: I’ve added as much as I could find. With all the different sites back in the day, I can’t recall where I used to post most of my updates. Archive.org was very helpful, but it didn’t have everything on there, so there are huge time gaps. Still, this site is far more comprehensive than it was before.

Improvisation

I was fiddling around with some guitar this evening, just trying to make noise basically and see if I stumble across anything interesting I can maybe incorporate into the new album. After about 10 minutes or so, I decided to record some video of it and share it for the hell of it… a peek into the creative process, I suppose… warts and all.

Apologies for the low volume (it is late over here), the kitchen background, and the broken guitar string. Also, I know the banging on the guitar seems off, but when you’re working the delay, it gives off a nice low end repeating thump that was, sadly, not really audible in this recording. Perhaps in the next one…

Mailing List

I’ve changed the mailing list around a tad and am now using a nice widget offered through ReverbNation. If you sign up for my mailing list, you get a free download of the currently exclusive track “Infector”. Sign up if you haven’t already, and feel free to share!


ComScore

“Rebirth Ritual” / “The Divide” (Patronage Edition) / FREE Split EP Download

Next release: “Rebirth Ritual”, an EP/Single (weighs in at just under 18 minutes). Not sure if I’m going to wait til the next performance, whenever that may be, to release this or just release it online. Maybe this will be the first release I offer to the Mailing List first before anyone else (have you signed up yet?). Musically, this is a companion to “The Divide” in a lot of ways, so expect a similar approach.

Also, I’m working on a special “Patronage Edition” of “The Divide”. Extremely limited copies (less than 10). These will be for the collector who wants something a little different, and who wants to financially support future releases. They’re priced at $25 (or more if you wish) and will feature different hand made artwork than the standard issue, and possibly some other surprises. I have made these available for Preorder now, and expect to have them finished and shipping around June 1st.

For those who missed it, there’s a FREE download split EP with me & TOTEM available at our respective Bandcamp sites. The EP features two track from each of us, plus a track by a new collaborative project “Quick Fix Solution”. Be sure to download yourself a copy!

Stickers

New stickers came in. There are some imperfections, but they’re OK. I’ll perfect them on the next batch. Expect them to be mailed out soon.

Also, feel free to cut the URL off. I’m sort of regretting the fact I put it on there at all.
