to fall [with the snow]

So, in the end, I have this cold, bleak song about loving the winter, an unrequited love directed toward something that is utterly without mercy. The cold and dark that awaits at the end of the year and the end of the journey and the end of the world. And embracing it, even learning to feel warmly toward it, because the solitude and wonder and icy stillness is part of the journey too… and reminds me to make the most out of all of it.

economy and soundscape

This isn’t just a blog entry; it’s a new year’s resolution. On Friday, January 5, 20 years from the release of the second infinite singularity album “silence,” I have scheduled the release of “a forgotten name,” which is about the closest thing to an enduring “hit song” I’ve made. It will be available in both the fully professionally mastered version and the “rough mix” version (what I did in my own studio, untouched by any other hands), and the original album version (recorded/mastered in 2003 and released the following year, but not remastered like the silence re-release early this year). I want to see how different they really are. But I am much more interested in how you, the listener, experiences them, and welcome your thoughts.

In the end, I want to release the most honest, best quality music I can, while also considering that I’m a broke independent artist, so that I can hopefully find my people, build momentum, and continue to do this for many years to come.
