Like a flashback to Underworld, Sasha, Fluke and Orbital, so is AntiGravity.

Dark, semi-ambient, and solemn - Puppet is yet another departure from my genre comfort zone.

  I've gotten a few requests for more information about plugins, software, and gear used in new tracks. I thought I'd start answering these questions (and bridge the gap between viewers and listeners) by starting this series. These first two installments should set the pace nicely, mixing music, eye candy, live screen captures, and information about the projects. Enjoy.

#1 - En Route (I Will Be OK remix)

#2 - I Just Wanted to Tell You Something

  Picking up where the original left off, "En Route (I Will Be OK remix)" is an expansion on the idea that was Karmabomb's epilogue.

  Today marks 11 years of writing original music, and also the release of "Then the Sky Went Black" is comprised primarily of sounds captured with a handheld recorder, and is one of my first stabs into Ambient. This track (and 9 others) are now on 'Karmabomb', my first album. Click below for info and download.

  The hardest part of releasing any song is that I always want to tweak something later without launching a whole new project. So beginning today, songs in the Music section will include a version number. Now whenever there's significant change to a song (new instrumentation, new arrangement or mix, etc) it will be posted as an updated or separate version.

  Projected benefits:
1. I usually want to try an idea several ways. This lets me go through multiple approaches and produce several sub-mixes that can stand on their own.
2. With more versions available, the variety (and hopefully the appeal) will widen.
3. Previous projects can be easily updated, keeping them fresh and relevant.
4. Those who actually follow my music projects will be able to keep as updated as they wish, and keep a progressive catalog.
5. Exploration - new patterns emerge as updates turn old ideas into anthems and combinations of tracks can create incredible mixes. By using this open-ended approach, interested parties can watch as the songs cause each other to evolve.

  ...Because if I enjoy listening to it, someone else out there probably will too. Stay tuned.

  On February 2nd, I found out about and began working this year's RPM Challenge - an open contest where participants record an entire album (defined here as 10 tracks or 35 minutes of new material) during the month of February. Expect to see new tracks released at record speed as I plow through new ideas and techniques - three are already available in the Music section and on my RPMC page.

  It's a zombie-eat-brain world out there and if the Polls are any indication, zombies trump just about everything else. So to raise awareness for Phreque's new line of Zombie Proof gear, this commercial has been created. Spread the word; it's better to be safe than zombie.
