The site is undergoing a seriously overdue redesign right now. Check out a few new things that have been added and don't mind any construction pages for the time being. They'll be fixed.

After much back and forth, I've decided not to release an album. I am however still going to release the music. Confused? Read on.

The current crop of tunes that I have been intending as 'Ouraborus' have all been written in the last 12 months. So, like I think almost all artiist's works they are reflective of where I've been during that time. However, I never wrote the songs with the idea of an 'album' in mind. So as I've been trying to tweak each song to fit into the flow/production of an album I came to ask myself 'why'?

I think in this day of digital music distribution, iTunes/iPods, playlists, etc... that the album is perhaps an artificial artifact of a stage in music production that is ending. Albums were there because that was the only vehicle of distribution for 30+ years. It simply isn't anymore.

I'm not saying that the album as a format is dead, I'm just saying that if an artist happens to approach a collection of songs that way, or their work happens to naturally group that way, then that's fine. (Albums like Tool's Aenima, NIN's The Downward Spiral, Chemical Bros Exit Planet Dust, etc.. I could listen to from beginning to end forever, but there aren't a lot of albums like those out there).I'm not even saying I'll never do an 'album'. I'm just saying that I haven't done one now.

So, instead of waiting until I've artificially smooshed all of these pieces together just to mindlessly follow convention, I'm going to release each song as they are completed and the current plan is just to catalog the releases by year. The first of which is 'Transform' and is part of 'Volume 2008'.

The song is available for sale through MusicFreedom.com and available for full preview as well. I may look at other sites for distribution including iTunes, eMusic, CDBaby, etc... later this year. We'll see how MusicFreedom works out first.

So, to the couple of you out there that have been encouraging me to get off my ass, here's one for ya. :-)
