So, m’kay, I’ve been having a bitch of a time posting anything to my blog at MySpace under any circumstances. I wanted to rant and rave about the show I recorded the other night– with the microphone turned the wrong way– but got countless Unexpected Errors whenever I tried to submit.
That I went back every day for four days trying the same damn thing and hoping for a different result indicates either that I am a Republican (We can WIN the war in Iraq!) or that I am fucking insane. Now, we all know that I am now a registered Democrat, so by process of elimination….
I’m going to move all my posts from there to here, or try to, anyway. Had about enough of having to maintain two blogs, anyway.
Psalm 48 is dead, long live Psalm 46. I’m now working with verses 5-8 from that Psalm in hopes that that provides a more appropriate text for a harp to play over, under, and around. And for a synth in imitation of a harp. And for an organ to support an SSAATTBB choir. The working title of the piece is There Is A River.
I’ve started sketching bits and pieces of the Rick instrumental album– details of which will appear here– but the summary of which is, music derived from improvisations I perpetrated as service music. So far The Fireman’s Carry and Elegy are sketched but not fleshed out.
I’ve taken on an outside project, the construction of which is still being formulated beyond the vocalist and the guitarist; which has stoked a few embers of creative thought that had been atrophying. Yes, the muse is visiting again, thank God, and now she’s pushing me gently toward progressive electronica, examples of which I’ve submitted on spec. While I’m not really at liberty to talk more about it now, I am excited.
Luminous City is still in search of distribution.
MIDI exists for the next @Fulcrum album, and the 25-odd minute Unless And Until is almost finished, finally. Details would not appear here, but would be out at the @Fulcrum page and at WordPress.
Tonight is Open Jam night at June’s.
Thus endeth the project(s) update.
Maybe I was right the first time… taking on all this work I must be daft.
