Reconfigured Memories

It's something that I've been asking myself for the past 3 months. What if...what if you went back to a few select songs you made while you were inexperienced and did them over again with your new experience and lessons? You know, improve upon past songs?

I've considered it. And you know what? I'm doing it. As fond as the memories are of recording a few tracks in the early years, it should be noted that it's not easy...nah, it's downright impossible to hear myself again.

So for the sake of improvement and also saving a few good songs from being lost forever.... it's time to go back and re-do a couple of earlier songs, and also bring out some rarities.

I know I want to do Modern Day Madness again, same goes for Chillin' Like A Villain and When It's Over.... and lucky me, I have a notebook of tracks I wrote, never recorded that are up for grabs too. Maybe this is a chance to...oh, i don't know....bring some friends along for the ride?

Hopefully. Because I can't sing, and When It's Over was heavy on the singing...

No date yet, BTW. This could take awhile.... but I will tell you this...it's started.

Blog Report: New Year, New Music.

Howdy,

What a way to end 2010. Seriously, you can't compose a better ending than that. A show (!), 2 mixtapes in 1 week (procrastination is my homeboy), and a lot of things coming together.

Let's start with the show, a.k.a The Show You Never Knew About Till Today. Long story short, I performed for the first time ever, solo, and instrumentally, at a private NYE party. 1 hour set, and for someone who had no clue going into this how to pull off an instrumental set.... I did pretty well.

Check, very well. Well enough to have virtually everyone say my set was the best that night (not me saying it, the audience of 15-20 people).

I love it. So much awesome for a show like that, and now it's opened a lot of doors.  

Future instrumental shows? Sure, why not.

And in other news, Project Nightmare 2.5 and 3 are now BOTH available on Bandcamp.com.

Check it (sorry Facebook users)




Now on to the EP's.... I got a gameplan. Odds are, both will be out separately digitally, then a few months later, limited run physical CD version of the two together.

So now it's time to take a nice, well-earned breather. See you later on in 2011, with news on the Re-imagined Memories project and news on the new album(s).

Happy New Fear...I mean, Year.

Blog Report: Update for those who ain't up on things...

1. December is a Nightmare: Project Nightmare 2.5: The Lost Levels (12/2010) and Project Nightmare 3: Scientifical Madness (New Year's Day 2011). 2.5 is inching closer to completion, 3 is at the tail end of composing.

2. 2 EP's will see the light in 2011: So I am a dirty liar. I promised two EP's...and nothing yet. Rest assured, it is still alive. And still kicking.

3. The Imperfect Dialogue: It's got a start, a climax, and multiple endings. 2011 release...very late I might add in that year.

4. Live extension: Can't say...but something's happening.

That's it...I'd elaborate more, but less is more.

Blog Report: Sober October (Updates)

OK OK OK...I have been AWOL from blogging recently. But I will make up for it right here, right now.

1. Project Nightmare 3 is dated. New Year's Day 2011. And it's looking to be epic in the scope and length of which I'm taking it. 
2. I've said it once, I'll say it again...the EP's are STILL ALIVE. They are just held up in perfectionizing right now, heck, one of them is 100% done in lyrics and beats, the other is ideallly done, but still needs work.
3. The Imperfect Dialogue is under way. It's got a start, a middle, and an ending. Just a matter of getting there. 
4. Lotsa possible side-projects. I can't speak on them now because they are all rough around the edges, and/or not yet ready for the public, but it is different.
5. Live? Don't hold your breath (but feel free to do so) Taking my dear sweet time with the aspect of a live show, because I want to do this right. I want to do this so that it's effective. Needless to say, it is a temporary compromise between what I want, and what I can do currently.

Stay tuned for frequent updates on Project Nightmare 3.

And I'm outta here like Randy Moss (too soon?)

Blog Report: Calm Before The Storm

Gonna make this quick, because there ain't much to say right about now... but yeah, the EP's are still on, just trying to do it right (duh), the album is on the way (planning to really get it started after the EP's get done), and uh, Project Nightmare 3 is on the way.

Believe it, it's unlike anything you could imagine.

Hoping for big things to go through in the fall, and winter. Stay tuned as always.
