malaise

I wrote the lyrics to Malaise when I was going through some weird prolonged illness while I had my office job in Manhattan where I was experiencing what I think now to be bronchitis as well as a headache due to a sinus infection. Or something. I dunno, I had no health insurance and I was drinking lots of chamomile tea (which in hindsight was the wrong treatment for it in the first place) and kept close to falling asleep on many occasions at work. I had a sort of “White Light/White Heat” sound in my head, but the influence would have been too obvious in practice, so I put it on the back burner until many months later.

I’m feeling much better now, thank you.

this exit

OK, so over a month with not a word on either the blog or the main page until the appearance of This Exit…I’m not sure what to say, other than between an internet connection that’s a bit better now than it was a couple weeks ago (but still not, how you say, RELIABLE) and a musical that zapped up a lot of my creative energies until it closed last Friday, it wasn’t easy (if at all possible at times) for me to devote myself so much to the site. But hopefully in the coming weeks, updates will be a bit more regular and the two “new” albums will be up and running by sometime in September.

What do I have up my sleeve after that? Ideas in various stages of production (with no guarantee that any of them will be completed in a timely manner) include an album devoted more to vocal harmonies, a “musical” of my own, and a film soundtrack. Yeah, art!
