practice and improve


for some reason I always end up updating you guys and girls really early in the morning, for example, it's 2:28 AM, very unappropriate for a blog update. but oh fiddly diddly, who cares.


right now i'm kind of in the middle of my first album. using a metaphor if you will, there's this timeline...say...from 1908 to 2008...and overall i'm somewhere in 1967 or so...when things begin to change. I couldn't tell you exactly how to describe my sound. One whole week may consist of just piano tracks i've layed out, or heavy bass guitars with sitars mixed with distorted, light organs and spacious sounds. i'm getting really creative and am planning on having a really unique, inspiring first album. well...at least that's the general plan.

I'm beginning to reach that point where I can't get much bigger, so i have to get better. Putting out an album, by yourself, is really more work than I thought, but i'm managing it well for such an early endeavor. I do want to go ahead and mention that a song I wrote 3 years ago in my room in oklahoma, called Let Me Explain, is going to be pitched to the band Yes. I, personally, haven't heard of them until i found this out. But I listened to them and just thought "Something I wrote from a first time love is being pitched to a band like this?" I would have never thought...and still 'till this day i'm in awe sometimes. Maybe because I don't believe it, or i'm always hard on myself.

but mostly i wake up every afternoon, stretch out a bit, run through some exercises for my playing abilities, and begin the creative process once again. my mind is alot like that myspace layout you see right now. a big, beautiful mess with lots of detail and color.


hopefully that will be the same description for this first cd.

The album is expected to be called "Soft And Out Loud".
