1 am on a Monday Morning.The Perfect time to launch a blog? Perhaps not… perhaps…

The point is it’s about time. This blog will document the time spent, primarily, on writing and finishing my upcoming album for Xynthetic Digital’s XDR line — meaning itunes, beatport, and other digital distributors will handle the actual album rollout — entitled ‘From Unity To Segmentation’.

In itself, the album covers quite a bit of ground, and I don’t quite know how to sum up the backstory outright. I guess i’d describe it as a study on how one’s motives deviate, how they split and bend and sometimes curl up back towards ourselves like twisted little mirrors from a larger frame of purpose. Whether or not you’d ever know that by hearing the album alone remains to be seen [heard] but the concept for the album started somewhere else completely before it split and curled up back towards me until i surrendered the very thought of conceptualizing, making crystalline that single phrase that now enshrines the title and every meta-meta-meta thing within it.

So what’s next? I want to share with you bits of the album, some things i’ve done in the process, some pictures of my studio… everything that will hype the whole thing and maybe give a little bit of myself that you might relate to in the process.

Enhancing my capacity to exchange ideas with you, to have some input during the writing process of the album is one of my personal goals for this blog. As it gets rolling i hope to see in the comments [plenty of links to pandas?] but even more links to differing mindsets, other perspectives that might compliment or help me further trace my motivations before the album is finally delivered to Xynthetic and released.

Starting this week this blog will start to fill with content related to the album, along with the first sketches and some other things. How about you, though… What do you think should come of this?

Does this request completely demystify the whole idea of an artist as a reclusive weirdo or amplify it?

Why is blue?

I’ll close out this first post with the first desktop wallpaper/desktop. It comes in two sizes, hover the mouse over each image to see which is which.
