Creative Compulsion

All creatives strive to make a living from their work. I am often asked why I continue to write, record, and produce music. I am reminded of odds of being “discovered” and that I am losing time and money by continuing to create. It is true that I do not turn a profit from each album I produce, let alone break even. In every case, the amount of time, energy, and money is never…

Reflections

Looking back at the album release concert a month later.

It has been just over a month since the release of Winter. I still find myself recovering mentally and physically from the event. The months leading up to the concert were filled with rehearsals and show logistics. Quiet moments were few.

Winter

Winter is now available on all streaming platforms. The Winter concert video is now available on YouTube. Visit my YouTube channel to see the complete concert. For now, the band is taking a much-needed recess. But there is a new project in the works. Details to come.

Winter is almost here!

Winter is almost here!

Winter will be released on February 10, 2024 at 8pm at Cerritos College. The band has spent the last eight months recording the album and now we are rehearsing for the concert. We are very excited to present this album to you, especially since we had originally planned to release it in February 2021. However, the delay has given us time to live and grow with the music.

Build is complete. However, the Avid HD driver would not load. After several attempts, I opted to reformat the drive. sadly, I am just now wait for IT to join the computer to the domain so that I can login and try again. Given that I am dealing with Avid and Apple at the same time it is hard to say which variable is the cause of my problem.
