So...it's been a while since I have been on em411. I have been extremely busy with a new job, moving to a new city, getting ready to play live with a band and training for a marathon.
My album "The Love Dojo" is finally available on CD. You can pick it up at link The album took over 2 years of constant recording and reworking and lots of sweat and blood. Its a mix of 60's Brazilian, Hawaiian, Musique Concrete, and Raymond Scott style electronic. Audio samples will be up shortly. Dealing with a couple of labels already for future works.
I am working with 2 drummers/percussionists for playing live shows, and more people will probably be added to the live elements as I really don't want to have just me playing guitar and a laptop for a live show. So, expect to see some show dates, and possibly touring around the states for now.
Working on new album already, its definitely a bit more more mature, and will be part of a new direction incorporating Lounge, Bossa Nova, Gypsy Jazz, and 30's Swing styles, and collaborating with a few people as well on it.
In December, I am running a 26.2 mile marathon in Honolulu, Hawaii with my gropefruit for a Leukemia and Lymphoma Cancer benefit organization. So, now I have a healthy reason to drink beer every night!
We are also moving out of Oakland, and to San Francisco. We will be living 12 blocks from the ocean. I am already taking surfing lessons. WOOT!
And lastly, I may be staying in Florence, Italy from January to March and working remotely during that time. So, I may try to set up my own European STFU, once I know more about the move.
SO. I hope all is well in em411 land. | |

i told the guy at Jetsetter to play it on the soundsystem but he hijacked it. I might have to pull some Action Jackson kung-fu moves to get it back.
