out with the old, in with the new...

hello again...

ive been relatively quiet lately... but only due to my penchant for not speaking till i have something to speak about...

while the "Intervene" video is in post production ive been focusing on other things i may have been ignoring (on purpose)... writing (words, not music... well some music anyways) sound design, spring cleaning (the studio is an infernal mess of wires while i go over it with a fine toothed comb and get it all back up to spec...) and re-invention.

n/a is a project i started in my bedroom nearly 5 years ago now... its seen many incarnations and a handful of musicians have come and gone, trying to help me put a finger on what this beast really is. some have been better people than players, some vice versa, and some it seems unfortunately werent great at either. after dealing with people not getting what they want, and things not moving fast enough (good luck quantifying whatever the fuck that is by the way), or whatever complaint/excuse you can think of... for now, for a while now honestly... its just dave and i. daves been here since the beginning, and the only one thats ever allowed me to create with reckless abandon and not question my motives. thats a true friend, and the reason hes been here since day one. i am fortunate to have marshaled the capacity to create music on my own should i desire, without the need to rely on anyone else. any involvement ive ever had with other musicians has been out of a desire to play live with others, not because i needed them, but because i wanted to have them around or to be around them.

when the need arises, as there has been before, there will be others.

lately ive been testing myself. ive been involved playing other peoples music, with a number of artists/friends, helping them out and enjoying making music in the process. honestly this is something i havent enjoyed as much as i should have in a very long time, and i feels good to again be wearing this skin.

i have purged myself of demons, and spilt the blood of anxieties; those that come with not knowing towards what future the present is leading you. i am not a missionary, i am a traveller. i am on the path, not for its destination but because it need be traveled. because beyond is a place ive never been... so that i may witness what lies beyond the horizon.

...the sleeper must awaken.

thanks to those that have chosen to travel with me. my one hope is that youre enjoying the ride.
