heres something...

so life never seems to work out the way you planned... (remember the end of "Undo"?)

a little taste for you...

while originally i planned to be releasing something within the next 30 seconds or so, that shit didnt happen. instead, i got writers block, a few other productions that i had to do either for fun or to keep the roof over my head... and i took an amazing trip: first to israel and then to egypt with nothing more than a backpack and my lady, for nearly a month to clear my head amongst other things.

anyways... ive been back for a week or two and have been settling back into obsessing over music again...

im staring out the studio window and the moon is amazing... yellow and low, pretending to be the sun... and while im quite close to the next release, im terribly distracted by other bits and pieces floating around my hard drive(s). so the drill is to get this one done ASAP so i can move on to these other things before i forget them...

its definitely been weird having finally assumed total control over n/a... i mean... its been mostly me forever, but for like 6 months now its been ONLY ME. what ive learned: shit takes a hell of a lot longer when its only you, but no more arguing about what shitty bar were going to play or getting pissed cause someones not playing the guitar chord JUST RIGHT... most importantly ive learned to enjoy what im doing again... which i wasnt for a long while. come to think of it... ive never seen a painter or photographers work in a group of 4 or more...? maybe theres a good reason for that.

im really proud of "Tempest"... i never could have realized that piece while having anxiously salivating creatures breathe down my back - about anything other than the art at hand. and listening back, i feel the same about everything else im working on, and couldnt imagine trying to do shows and promotions and all that other shit AND make these tracks happen.

im grateful for those of you that have stuck around... and piss on the others. we dont need them.

any fucking ways... im meeting with zach and kelley this weekend to talk about release shit... and i have to learn how to play the rhodes better... so i have to go now.

keep your eyes peeled... thanks for listening.
