Social Media... A Poem.
Not to complain, but I’d like to explain the deal with my ever-increasing disdain for the whole of social media again. It may stem from my want to regain and sustain a connection with reality’s plane. See, the noise emanating like noxious methane from the ass of Twitter, Facebook and G+ domains is seemingly constant and sadly mundane like meaningless ramblings of the insane. ...

Questions Of Balance →
While audio production requires a lot of technical understanding of gear, signal flow and boundless tracking and mixing techniques, I believe it’s even more important to understand the more abstract nature of recording. In this article I explain my conceptual way of looking at sound recording and offer a few questions which can help you to identify what really makes a great record.

This record is kind of like tuning into a slightly eclectic radio show in 1969 that plays rare b-side gems and deep album cuts from the likes of Van Dyke Parks, Flo and Eddie, Blind Faith, Dennis Wilson, Manfred Man, The Association and The...

Writing for Album Sides
I don’t know how people go about writing an album without framing everything around the 15-18 minute album sides. Every time I’ve tried the results have been less than awesome. It’s just so much easier to think of things in terms of small chunks. Even if there isn’t a concrete concept for the record, I know what a “side track one” should sound like… and a...

[RecordPlug] The Vacuum of Irrelevance →
recordplug: A few times in the thread yesterday, different members brought up the topic of relevance. Fear of my work being irrelevant (or outright disregarded) is something I’ve certainly wrestled with a good bit over the years, and I hear it constantly from musicians, music bloggers, podcasters, etc. My general atitude these days is “screw ‘em… they’ll catch up to it” and to trudge forward...
