More to come…

it goes here because it doesn’t belong anywhere else…

angry and nasty

I love this quote:

“Some people live paycheck to paycheck. Some people live project to project. I prefer living “adventure to adventure.” I reckon that if you can’t treat what you’re doing like an adventure, it’s not worth doing. You might as well be dead. We all want the feeling of adventure. It’s just about the closest you can get to God while you’re still alive.”

I’ll take it.

This would make a solid ringtone… repetitive and annoying

im losing my mind, but this is how i feel today exactly

I recently had the pleasure of playing keyboards on the first Levi/Werstler record, Avalanche Of Worms. It was a recording session full of all-nighters and an entire list of reckless behaviors that my team of lawyers have advised against disclosing here. Eyal Levi and Emil Werstler are two of the most talented and complimentary players and writers I have ever heard, and this record is undoubtedly their best work. Sean Reinert of Cynic plays drums… This monster makes the whole thing sound so easy that it’s embarrassing to consider how stressed the rest of us were in making it.

You can listen to a track here: LEVI/WERSTLER MERCH

This is neither here nor there, but I’m on an epic vacation right now… Spent a week in Amsterdam, I’m almost done a week and a half in Paris and I’m leaving for Prague Tuesday…

I’ve actually been playing a ton of music on this trip, although I was worried about being away from my normal practice and studio habits. While in Amsterdam, I played in open mic nights no less that 4 of the 8 nights I was there, usually on other people’s instruments. I was able to make some great friends and some professional contacts with (hopefully) potential for future work.

Paris was nearly as fruitful. I spent an evening playing blues with a fantastic player who taught me some new tricks, and then two days with a career jazz bass player, studio-ing out… Sharing music, production tricks, jamming together on some new riffs, recording, talking shop, and just general dudes-in-the-studio time… It’s pretty awesome how universal music can be; this guy is ~30 years older than me with countless more gigs under his belt (under a different style of music, I might add), and we were still able to relate and talk about all aspects of making music, managing the industry, and jam out.

This site had an interesting idea: Someone on Twitter re-tweets a link and gets a free mp3 from your band. It seemed too simple that they were providing this functionality for free, considering that I had toyed with the idea of paying someone to do it just for From Exile alone.

And then today I get this killer email from them:

……RIGHT

At least sites like Bandcamp still seem to have artists’ best interests in mind instead of a few bucks… I really wonder how many artists will be paying that money for email addresses. My bet is very few.

This will begin a series of shorter, more experimental tracks that I will release here and eventually package as a collection (ZERO SERIES). A chance for me to open up and surprise you. No rules.

I was going for a specific feel with this; rough, nasty, and big. Fun.

You can download an mp3 at my Bandcamp site.
