Twilight Year
This will be my last release for the year, and for some time. I don't think I have ever been so blessed creatively as this year. To be sure there were a number of trials to overcome, but part of that work has helped the music out so much. I am truly very glad to be gradually widening the list of considerate listeners and hope you will keep following me down the path. My releases have seen progressively better distribution areas, from handing out samplers at NPV shows, to starting this blogsite, to Light Slows Down which is still available for $7 all going to the Gallery of Potential Life (go to link in the side bar), and now a release through Norweigian Net-Label Twilight Luggage (link is to the side). I have been slowly getting word out to various labels with some of my work, and Hans and Andreas were very excited by it. Andreas created this amazing artwork (it could be a poster!) and it is available for FREE download exclusively through their website. While you are there please check out the other artists who range from dark ambient to full on harsh noise, and consider making a small donation so they can continue to produce amazing art. I am so humbled to be part of their roster, and hopefully people around the world can now get into some of my music.

Live 10/24/2008
Joe from Carbon Records and many different groups was kind enough to photograph and record the solo set I did on 10/24. I am pretty critical of my playing, but for something that was primarily improvised I think it came out alright. One of the pieces will be appearing in a different/improvised manner on a future recording, the rest were completely improvised in and for the moment. This gives a pretty good idea of my playing style, and I'll look forward to playing out again in the future. Thanks again to Joe, The Gallery of Potential Life Studios, and the other performers from the evening. Enjoy and share as you see fit.
