“sunday black” video shoot

…once again I let time get away from me – here is a blog I stated a while back. Little rest this time around.  I returned home after 2 weeks on the road – the last 2 days spent filming my first solo music video for “sunday black”.  A quick repack – time with friends [...]

while my piano gently weeps

It’s rare that a plan comes together.  I usually bite off much more than can be digested – spending endless hours stuffing more & more into a period of time that allows for smaller rewards.  Yesterday could have very easily been one of these self inflicted dates with destiny. After spending several weeks searching for [...]

slow burn

we managed to complete number two. “someday” (working title – not sure if she looks like a “someday” – it’s the obvious choice due to a line in the chorus but for some reason I can’t get the Mariah Carey song of the same name out of my head every time I reference my song [...]


Here we go…

Here we go…

After months of writing, brainstorming and demo-itis the recording of actual tracks has begun. HALLELUJAH!!!! Today I will attempt to cut vocals on a song called “empty sheets”. She’s a different animal of sorts – a perfect example of my intention for “organica”. Simple acoustic guitars against bottom-end-heavy kick drum, beat box, arena worthy synths [...]

strategic tale

Another “sky-side confessional”. 10am – 35K above the ground – headed back from my someday home – Chicago. what an amazing city. I was there only moments but it was enough to once again infect. My goal – never reached – to taste the deep dish wonder of Pal Joey’s (a pizzaria on the north [...]

Your emails and comments over the last week or so have blown me away. Several of you posted bulletins, sent mass emails and got the word out about our [...]

head case

… I left the studio with one vocal complete and the frustration of four more waiting. We (Chris & me) planned a tight production schedule and the days (2) set aside for vocals were no exception. There were special mics acquired, weeks of anticipation and endless hours of finding the right blend (musically). The first [...]
