Infekt [single] is now available on Bandcamp!

I'm really excited about this, and to finally be pushing the new tunes, my new sound.. I feel that this is more "me" than anything I've ever released before, and I'm very happy. :)

Thanks to everyone for supporting me and my art, for being my friends, and being there and giving me the opportunities to help make my dream a reality. You're awesome.

News flash- it's now 2012.

Lots of cool new things ahead.. "Infekt" [single] will be released on Thursday, January 5. The full album.. well, I still don't have a release date for that, and it's still in the works.

What else to expect in the near future:
- electric violin (surprise!)
- more photos
- lots of YouTube videos

February 11 is the Florida Underground Industrial Music Festival 2012 in Orlando, FL. I will not be performing, but I do intend to go. Ludovico Technique will be headlining. I'll be updating about this later, as February draws closer.

Happy new year, and best wishes!

Blog Update: I Haven't Done One Of These In A While

So much has happened in so little time..

The INFEKT album is coming along nicely. There were a few setbacks along the way -I had hoped to release it by now- but overall, I think it's a good thing I'm taking my time in creating this. I'm piecing together a masterpiece.

I've also been getting into photography and urban exploration with friends. There are so many great things around us that we overlook every day.. I've posted some photo sets already, like Dundas Castle and Grossinger's, and singles like The Tunnel. And there will be more in the coming days.

Tomorrow I start my new job at Electric Zombie Tattoo, and I'm looking forward to that.

And yesterday, it was announced that I am now the PR assistant for Ludovico Technique. If you want to feature the guys in your show, podcast, or article, send me a message on Facebook, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

You can expect more frequent updates from now on- there is so much happening, so much to blog about.. my photography, music updates, photo shoot later this week.. More soon!

INFEKT Album Update

2011-10-05T07:14:00.000-04:00

I would just like to say that I am quite pleased with the INFEKT album as it stands so far.

I've put a lot of work into the music, and there is still plenty more to do, but it's almost finished.

The overall sound is something I've wanted to bring out for a while now, but it was just months ago I found the inspiration I needed to make this vision a reality.

I've received a lot of praise for "Bound", the first single of this album. I'm glad you guys like it, and there is plenty more where that came from.

Part of the reason this album is taking so long is that I put a lot of thought into my music, and as time progresses and my feelings toward certain topics change, so do my lyrics. Sometimes I'll spend days agonizing over a single line. Sometimes I lack the confidence to write/record the words that even I, on occasion, find to be a little offensive. Some days I'm flowing with creativity, and others, not so much. I've spent a couple weeks at a total loss for words, as well as melody. And I've spent many long nights working until I crash.

This project has given me the opportunity to overcome my previous limitations and explore deeper into my own mind. I have invited my darker half out to play. I am no longer afraid to speak the words I've written. I feel free, finally.
