thanks to all that supported me at rock the decks. i fell short of the final round by 1/2 of a point. playing for a crowd with the occasional familiar face is truly a comforting thing for me. please don't cease to support me. thank you.

fucking oversized images. sorry all.

thanks jenner. you are the best flyer maker ever! (and a damn good girlfriend too.)

note to self/ self affirmation...
never ever play top 40 again, under any circumstance, ever.

i am so proud of myself. i did my first live pa tonight. i fucked up a whole bunch but laughed it off for the most part. it was a blast. that is all...

well i don't know what to say but i will try to bring forth a few things that have been on my mind as of late. i stayed up until 5 in the morning last night working on the fibonacci sequence. i did get a few musical ideas from that, hopefully they work out... hopefully. while the room mates were off at play in the middle of the desert last week i was hard at work on some new music. i am not happy with it, but at least i was able to apply myself and get some more practice under my belt. i think that there are some elements and ideas that i may make good use of in future productions though, so maybe not quite so fruitless afterall. i am getting a nice shiny new audio interface here in a few weeks time. mmm. lovely motu ultralite. i will finally be able to start some live performance stuff, well attempt at least. ummm... i am lost for words now, its late i need to go to bed. thanks for listening.

i got comissioned to do a track for the foundry, a local artist commune that is just starting up. i think i know what i will do but i can't get it to work out properly. i seem to have an increasingly growing void in my brain between what i hear in my head and what actually comes out, i guess i just need a break. it would probably be a good thing since i havn't taken much of a break for the last few days. i have a lot to do these days. between work, music and a rapidly fading social life i have little time to sleep and eat or do anything that would aid in my health both mentally and physically. but with more work and music is comes a lot of improvement both in my pocket book and my abilities in the production realm. i decided that now would be a good time for me to start pushing my live performance down to denver. fort collins no longer holds what i am looking for. there is a lot more oppritunity for me down in the big city than here in town. winter will be back in full force here in a few months, a good thing, it will allow for more time to be dedicated to locking myself in the dungeon and focusing on music. the weather is always condusive to creativity for me anyways, so i look forward to the dead of winter. until then i shall milk what little of a social life i have for all it is worth.

just a check in here... wait a minute, let me change the music, shpongle makes me write really wierd... heh well i changed it to sheet one, not much better as far as getting points across in a more normal way. anyways. music is going well for me, i got another track on the way but as usual it takes me for fucking ever to get one finished. i usually wake up the morning after and feel like throwing the computer out the window because i can't believe that i spent my entire night working on something that i thought was so good only to listen to it again and realize what crap it really is. maybe i should start saving tracks or refusing to get mad at them and keep working with them until i am happy with them. it is probably better for my sanity and pocketbook since destroying a mac is a pricey endeavour. i am happy with this one though, i think that i may be onto something here, well i havn't gotten really mad at it yet and deleted it from my harddrive so i will take that as a blessing. i am moving the day after tomorrow into a new house that should be really condusive to me working more on music. this is good. it is wierd to be of one mind all day every day. i am always innondated with music in one way or another; making, listening, spinning, thinking, all about music, no time for anything else. it makes me feel like a confucianist sometimes. i do however continue to work dilligently as i realize that the only way for me to ever become less dissatisfied in what i make is to work more and more on it. it is slow progress, i guess that is good due to its steadiness but instant gratification is always nice. i guess i am not going to get that here. sorry that it has taken so long to get some music up on here for you all, i am a horrible procrastinator and forget things easily. i swear i will have some stuff as soon as i can. i have been undergoing gear lust lately. good for the fetish bad for rent money. i don't know where else to take this right now so i will cease here. ahoj.

Commandeering old town would be fun. i had this thought today while i was surfing the net. i saw some dutch dj's and producers just set up a stand with a big pa right in a park. i was thinking that it might not be too hard to get a slot for a saturday all day fest of dj's and maybe get algiers to set up a stand too. just a thought. i figured that i might want to post up another blog since i don't want to stop keeping you all up to date. what do you think? might be fun, eh?

hi.
expect a new mix to be up in the next week or so. just the usual minimal nonesuch...
