A mirage, certainly.

Though I haven’t updated this blog or my site in probably a few months now- or done any serious updates anyways- I’ve been pretty busy working on a lot of things, music related. Like I’ve probably said on facebook or twitter, I’ve returned to my love of playing the violin. I’ve been making a lot of really fantastic discoveries concerning the circle of fifths, harmony, and how both of those things relate to the nature of our reality and our inner experience. I won’t go into detail about it here because it’s still in the process of being studied and mastered, and I also don’t want to share my discoveries in a place where someone could claim them as their own, so therefore my knowledge will remain esoteric and secret and I will teach it mouth to ear to those who come to me. I’m already in the process of doing this.

I was just playing my mandolin and I’m realizing how I can basically improvise the kind of harmony that Bach uses. Because I have such a deep understanding of harmony, I feel like I could really write a lot of music, a lot of good and beautiful music, much more efficiently than I used to be able to. Currently I’m working on a duet that I’m about halfway done with- I plan on being done with that in about two weeks, at which point I’ll record a video of either me and my teacher (Matthew Pierce) or another violinist playing it.

Also, I thought I’d put this out there, I don’t know if anyone digs this but, I really like video chatting, so if you can video chat and want to see what I’ve been up to, I’d take the time to chat with you and show you some of what I’m writing and some of what I’ve been doing on the mandolin and violin. I don’t really care if you’re a complete stranger or not, I don’t think that’s weird, we’re all humans, and I’d simply love to share my music with anyone at all. My screen name on aim is Trait Euphildor. Or you could comment here or email me if you want to set something up.

Over the course of the past few months I have been running like a chicken without it’s head to financially stay afloat and to cultivate and develop my various music related skills, so I just haven’t felt it to be appropriate to be really releasing anything. To be honest, I kind of always dread writing music in a way, and you might think I’m a coward when I tell you why. It’s so intense, making something and being so pleased with it, and then later hating it, and then picking myself up from my bootstraps and writing again, to just go through the same process. Whatever the emotion is that I’m writing, whatever the reason, for whomever, or just for myself, it’s very intense and it takes me over. Sometimes even when it’s pleasant it’s just too much. Nonetheless, lately I’ve been timidly approaching it again, with the recent violin duet. I know I’ll eventually return to electronic composition.

That’s what I’ve been up to lately. Stay tuned, videos will follow shortly.

This is not so secretly a test.

Hello world.

If you are viewing this on facebook then you have successfully integrated yourself into my anti mind-control stream.

Updates will follow.

In the mean time listen to my music. It utilizes harmonic overtone modulation, technology from the future (or that the secret government has presently) used to modulate audio in a way that isn’t audibly detectable but will influence the brain, similar to high amplitude low frequency microwave modulation technology, which if you live on long island you’ve been subject to for years (the control center is on Plum Island). Long island is actually testing grounds for the worst-of-the-worst, bad-of-the-baddest mind control. This is where they see how far they can push us without completely collapsing the system.

There’s interference. I have to close the stream before the post is lost.

New EP in the works

Before the end of the month I’ll be putting out a new EP. I’m pretty excited about it, it’s really glitchy, it’s really technical, and so far it’s been real fun to make. It’s theme is along the lines of breaking into a network system, or some sort of corporate building.

Also, I have a facebook artist page now, there should be links everywhere from here to Ohio so, you should join and tell all your friends.

At some point in the future there is going to be a butt-load of releases.

Not quitting.

Even though it’s sunday I felt it would be worthwhile to mention that, though I missed last Monday’s release, I’m not planning on stopping again. I’m pretty confident I’ll be able to find time to manage and finish what I intended to be last week’s release. I really wish I could just sit and write, I have a lot of great ideas and I want to make some really banging sounds. Someday soon.

Good news is I’ll have a macbook pro very very soon- all the arrangements are done being made and it’s mine. Djing-wise, I can do something no one around my area can do, so I’m pretty stoked to finish this set I’ve been working on and get a gig.

Stay tuned.

Going Green Again

Over the past two weeks or so I’ve been kind of freaking out. I think I’m coming out of it though. I think it’s caused by beliefs I haven’t worked out and reconciled, or something I haven’t looked at that I’m doing.

I did this song over the course of two days- I just found out that FL gives the amount of time put into a song- this song was done in about six and a half hours. Or at least FL was open for six and a half hours, sometimes I just get up and walk around or something. I’m finally putting Image-Line’s Gross Beat and Maximus to work. Maximus is a mastering plugin. That combined with the limiter plugin that comes with the version of FL I have, they work well together.

There are three songs in progress now: Two are mandolin based, more recording heavy, and the third is a silly synthy thing. My friends dig it though so I’m going to finish it and post it after all.

Oh yea, I’m doing weekly releases again. I’m going to stop making facebook updates under my real name and make them through the FB group I’ve made, so I would suggest joining that to get updates. I’m also going to be posting things ONLY under that group so, if you want to get some things that either won’t be released, or will be released early, that’s where it’s at. I’m hoping to have a sort of dialogue with people who listen to my music, my music being the resulting reconciling…result.

Now that I have a final version I’m going to take this song for a car-test. I tested it before and was happy with it, but I’ve made some tweaks since then, and I’m usually a slight bit disoriented with my monitor speakers. Too many volume knobs, I never know how loud anything really is. But whatever, you guys have got volume knobs too on playback so…I’m sure it’s alright. Not to say I shouldn’t be picky…

Anyway. That’s that. I had mentioned ambient works that I was doing a while ago- I’m going to continue that and put them out. They’re fun and frankly easy to make and they come out nice- I still have my setup in place for putting to work this neat recording technique I’ve been doing.

More to come. Hope everyone’s holidays went well.

New music soon.

There will be new music soon.

Uh, why haven’t I been doing this again?

Two songs in the process, using a mandolin which does not have an E string.

Soon soon!
