I haven't been around for a while, I have been extremely busy at my day job, and school has also taken over most of my life.
For music I have been studying Maqam (arabic music) and Hindustani (Northern Indian Classical) and figuring out how to work with rhythms like 13/8, 17/8, 9/4, etc. I have been slowly building up a set and applying these new rhythms to it and been really excited by what I have been coming up with. I also recently picked up an Oud (not electronic, but pretty amazing sounds anyways) and have been working on more "ambient" music to parallel the beat-driven stuff using the Oud and my Sitar, I guess it would be considered drone music.
I have completely phased out all the cheesy music that I was doing in the past and going for a more focused sound now.
For 2008, I plan on being a lot more productive and get back to posting more on em411 with what I have been learning to help out others more.
So, I just wanted to say "HELLOOOO" to everyone again and I hope you are all well. I have a lot of blogs to read through I think.
PPSBBQOMG... I will be travelling to Italy in a few days visiting Roma, Firenze, Venince, so if anyone wants to meet up for a drink please emMail me. I guess I am a year late for STFU Rome. :-(

Eric! long time no see man. I'm glad to hear that you're still doing well. Venice will blow your mind- or it blew mine at least. Way too touristy at times, and pigeons are disgusting, but seriously its one of the strangest and most beautiful places I have ever been to.
I'm almost out of school, and when I get out I am hoping to move out west. You still want to meet in Portland?

Welcome back,
Your dreams were your ticket out.
Welcome back,
To that same old place that you laughed about.
Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they're turned around.
Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)
Here where we need ya (Here where we need ya)
Yeah we tease him a lot cause we've hot him on the spot, welcome back,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

p.s. aloha means both hello and good bye, so which is it? make up your mind already and stop toying with our emotions. we have all gotten sensitive and frail since you last held discorse with us. we can't take being rejected a second time.
