What do you think? Anything left out? I hope so because I'd like it to have a 2nd season! 🙂

Starting live music shows again this weekend.

Well, I don't expect it to start out very polished, but I just cannot stand not doing it anymore! I'm just going to plunge in. Without a plan, without a direction or schedule. Eventually, it will settle into something consistent time-wise. But I'll start Saturday sometime.

They'll show up here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcGgwiFfquTGxZI8IK37CNg

It is almost a year since my January post below, and this truly has been the year of woe. (Last year was the year of "Whoa!" with all the music made, but this year was fraught with maladies.) Still, I am hopeful that these will straighten out. The hands are working better, the cough is gone, but I dislocated my spine ("slipped disk" - only a grade-1 slippage but hurts like crazy) and cannot sit in the studio to play keyboards or work the computers. YET!! Doing physical therapy exercises (even bought myself a nice new "Gold's Gym" folding mat!) and they often work well if you stick to it. More music coming, I promise!!!

This is the Machinima film I am helping with centered in the worlds of Uru Live, the online free-to-play continuation of the MYST series of video games. The story begins here!

Season 2 - Episode 7 Just Relased!

The Lost Art - Season Two - YouTube

Well, folks, it has been a while since I last did a show because I was hit with two maladies in parallel - a serious cough that kept relapsing and a carpel-tunnel-syndrome issue with my right hand. Both are improving, with my cough finally almost gone (barring another relapse), and the wrist is getting slowly better though it will be another month by the looks of it before I can get back to playing keyboards.

Keeping busy learning Digital Performer (recording software) and editing my hardware synths for fun. My left hand is still doing some playing, so that is good for that hand! I'll hopefully be back on schedule with new live performances soon, and will also hopefully get to the many tutorial videos I intend to create.
