Video: Secret Solo + Blooper

Cutting a solo take for a secret project. At the end is an amusing outtake (stripped a strap button screw, nothing a glob of epoxy couldn't fix, LOL).

For the record, the strap I'm using is one of my own creations (the Rune Strap). It certainly help up its end of the bargain... it was even still holding the strap button :)

Temple Now Available at CD Baby!

I'm happy to announce that my debut album, Temple of Unmanifest Dreams, is now available on CD at CDBaby.com! Digital distribution (MP3s) are currently awaiting activation but should become available within the next few days (if you can't wait, you can go get them now at SoundClick.com).

For those who already have the album or singles (thanks!), it would honor me to have your reviews! You can also leave them on my official website.

Thanks to everyone for your support!

To My Followers...

Apologies as I have removed the Follow widget from my blog in light of the recent (and quite obvious) changes made to it. Like Steph initially opted, I too was going to give it some time for them to realize the err of their ways before removing it. But, I have gone to the ropes with Google before over similar matters, recalling last year when they silently issued a drastic and horribly dumbed-down up(down?)grade to the image search page. It took a lot of us (developers mostly) badgering them incessantly and stating the numbers before they finally relented. For that, specifically, it was worthwhile. For a little widget, not so much. So, sorry to you for the inconvenience, and hopefully with enough other people tossing the widget a lesson learned for the Blogger devs.

New Track: I Feel Embryonic

New Music and Audio Player Upgrades

I made several upgrades to the audio player and have added 2 more playlists and a ton of additional tracks. Here's what's new...

Audio Player upgrades:

• fixed issue of playlist images not displaying


• added copyright field to info dialog


• changed font and font-size on info dialog to allow for improved readability and larger text content


• added download buttons beside each track in tracklist. just click the green arrow to download the mp3.


• added right-click menu option for downloading tracks (downloads the currently playing track)


• added tooltips


• added a hack to force the player to load the most current player/playlist data (you should not have to clear your cache everytime to see the changes). PLEASE NOTE: you may still have to clear your cache this one time to get the fixed player.

New Playlists:

• Album: House of Secrets (2003) - This is the playlist for a private-release album I produced in 2003. The album was really just an anthology.


• Analog Dayz - old analog recordings - This playlist contains a number of tracks I recorded prior to converting to the digital recording world (roughly 1999-2000). Some of these were recorded on standard tape decks and the rest on a Fostex X-18H 4-track cassette recorder.

New Tracks:

Most of these tracks have been released on earlier versions of my website, but there are 3 that have never been released until now! Those tracks are:

• evil.lil.me


• Part of the Plan


• Awaken To You

They're each in the "Various Music" playlist. But if you're a newer visitor, there are likely many more "new" tracks for you to check out.
