Hi All,
Sorry I've been largely absent from em411 as of late. I've been busy with school and family and my track of the week project. This is a project of guitar and cello improvisations that I undertook, inspired by mapmap's 'dust breeding' blog and managed to finish 46 tracks this year.
This has been one of the most fun, rewarding things I've ever done. It's helped cure my writer's block and forced me to make art part of my daily life, for which I'm grateful. I'm probably going to continue on next year.
I've posted a review of my favorite 15 tracks this year (with player) here: link
I hope to release this set mastered as an album, if anyone is interested.
Besides that, I hope everyone has a wonderful new year and is doing well.
 Portland, Oregon, USA

Wow, you've been very productive this past year. I think I've finished about 4 or 5 tracks. I'm in the process of retrospect at this point, and I think I'd like to head in the direction you went (high quantity), though maybe not to the same extreme.
It might be more interesting if the tracks were sequenced as a chronology, so I can listen to you evolution as an artist... though I'm sure you have your reasons for sequencing the tracks how they are. Anyways, congratulations! And have a happy and productive new year. There is some really good stuff in there! Very inspiring.
Thanks, eyesnine and itijik!
I'm putting together an album of tracks. I'd rather sequence them in a way that makes sense for the album than chronological order. Here's all the tracks in chronological order: link Thanks for the reordering, I'll have to give it a listen.
You've got a really nice atmosphere to your tracks, and I like filling my listening space with your music. I try for the same thing myself. Signup to comment
