i'm working on song 52 right now, the last song for this year.
my video for december will include the 366 photos from this year,
so that video will be posted in the beginning of january.

i'm very excited to be finishing this project,
and really looking forward to next year's adventure, which will be a little different.

giant hugs and a heartfelt thank you to the loving and supportive folks out there.

this & other new songs added to my dropbox folder for this year's project.
honestly, some of them are pretty crappy.
but guess what.  they're done.
i'm hoping to finish & upload the last few this week.





thanks for visiting.  xo

hi there.

from now on i'll only be uploading full songs to soundcloud,

but a lot of the songs i'll record for the rest of the year 

will be short instrumental clips 

that i'll put here,
where you can download
any or all or none from this year.

thanks for stopping by.  xo

hi there.

i'm moving everything to this blog to make it easier to post things.

i have a new inpirations blog for awesome stuff.  i'll be adding a lot more to it, past & present.

my video for august is on the way, i promise.

my soundcloud account is full, so i need to delete some songs before i can upload any more.  even though i'm a few songs behind for this project, i'm still determined to post 52 songs this year, even if a lot of them are just instrumental clips.  

i took some photos last weekend in the rain and i'm editing and uploading them.  here are a few..

more on the way.

thanks for stopping by.  xo

hi there.

i'm working on a few songs for this 2012 project.

i've fallen behind but i haven't forgotten about it!

i also have some photos to edit and upload.

this is one of my favorites,

from a house party during sxsw..

more on the way. xo

when i was little and the outside world was disappointing or too painful to bear,

i would hang out in my room alone and create imaginary worlds of my own,

with stick figures going on all kinds of adventures.

i still do this now and the good thing about being an "adult" is that

i can make these imaginary worlds on my computer,

upload them to the internet, and share them with you.

this is my video for march:

thanks for watching. xo

hi there. i'm taking a little break from this,

My producer poses for my last photo for January:

One month down for this 2012 project. My favorite thing so far is the momentum..

not having time to analyze what I've just finished, because I have to move on to the next song or video or photo.

Is that good or bad? I don't know. I like the momentum though. My hands are getting back into shape,

and I'm learning new little recording & mixing tricks and video animation stuff.

It's nice to be able to focus, it's nice to get over the fear of putting stuff out there.

I received some harsh criticism from a good friend recently, regarding my music..

but I'm just going to keep doing this because it's what makes me happiest.

Thanks for stopping by.

part II

I hate the feeling of walking on eggshells, especially when it comes to creativity.

I hate the voices in my head that analyze and over-analyze every little thing I do

to try to figure out if it's "good enough." Whatever that means.

So for a whole year, I'm not going to listen to those voices.

Just this once, I'm going to focus on quantity rather than quality.

A photo every day, a song every week, a video every month.

Maybe more, but not less.

Pure freedom of expression.

Thanks for stopping by. xo
