It's been a long year, academically, financially, emotionally, among other adverbs...but it's summertime (and the living is easy!), so I can actually buckle down and focus on doing things more things musically now that I don't have the constant pressure of school coming down on me. I want to get a lot of things done, more of my more classically oriented stuff as well as more of my more singer-songwriter stuff (Although I'm a little strapped for recording equipment right now, which is it's own problem...) I've also been talking to a friend of mine in town about future goals in music, and we might make a power duo progressive metal project sort of thing, with programed drums and wibbly-wobbly electronic things and stuff like that (Think Animals as Leaders, OSI, etc...if you don't know those bands, check them out! They're great!).

Other than that though, now that I have a decently firm grasp of Ableton, I'm thinking of trying to get another EP/Album down of solely electronic music out. It'd be pay-what-you-want again, as at this point in my career I'm not really looking to make a huge profit off this stuff, just get my name out there and whatnot.

Other than that, how are you guys/gals doing? ;D

Hey you few dudes and/or dudettes that watch me:

I just recently did an interview with  potoroo for his Fuzzy Notes podcast. Check it out, if you got the time!

I decided to compile some of my electronic/rock songs into an EP of sorts. It'd mean a lot for me if you guys would take the time to listen to it, and if you like it, to purchase it. It's pay-what-you-want, so even a dollar would be very appreciated. Thanks!

I've been pretty inactive on here for a while, it seems. But here's why! Currently, the pieces I've been working on are pretty long, and a bit complicated. I'm trying to finish them up, but in the mean time, do you think I should upload some progress on them?

Just wanted to let you know that my main account with all my visual art and information about me is at  blackminorscales

Peace out!
