News from 2005 September 15th....The synthetic dream foundation will be performing a live set of uptempo, yet ethereal EBM-IDM-industrial music at Club Underground in Tampa on Friday the 24th of this month. A huge fetish party is taking place that evening, being brought to us by the Fetish Factory. This will be one of the largest goth industrial music events in Tampa Florida in quite a while, and the entertainment booked looks awfully awesome. Here is a link to a page about the event, AlterEgo. I highly reccomend this evening. Come out dressed to impress! A strict goth/industrial/fetish dresscode will be being enforced to keep the atmosphere in the club a dark one. August 25th...I put up another new work in my digital gallery today. Its a combination of digital photography and digital painting (with my Wacom tablet) that I made the last two nights. . Its entitled "Tormented". August 23rd....I put up a new picture in my digital gallery entitled "descent". It is the image that will be printed on the back of the cd case for my new album (which is so near completion its mind rattling). August 17th.....I just put up the outline for my photography page. Alot of work still needs to be done to this page, and hopefully I will find time to work on it soon. July 28th....I just put up a new piece of ethereal classical music in the music section entitled "The cradles". It was one of the songs used in the film score I did for the upcoming independent film "Shattered", which will be screening at the next SunDance festival. It is one of the more ethereal and pretty songs I have worked on lately, and was taken on as a well needed reprieve from working on my new album which is very fast, harsh, and aggressive in its nature of beauty. July 16th.....I just changed the graphic on the frontpage of this website for the first time since I started this website! I think that was far over due. heh. This is a hint of large changes to come over the next few months to this website. My new cd "Unleashed" is still being mastered and finalized, but I will be posting both the front and back cover art for the album in the art gallery in the next several days. I am doing a major overhaul of the art gallery section during the next week or so. I have been doing tons of ir photography the past month or so, and will be posting some of those works as well. I know people keep pressing me about when my new cd will be done, but I don't want to force a date. This album will be my best collection of musical works I have ever produced and don't want to rush things, just in the name "efficiency". Much more to come. And soon. I promise! May 23th....Its been awhile since I updated. I just got done recovering my computer from a major virus infection. That pretty much dehabilitated my studio for the past two weeks, but I'm back up and running now. I hate hackers that waste their time. I hate people in general who possess powerful skills and employ them for mediocre ends. The entire fiasco made me lose one completed composition, but it could have been much worse, so I am thankful. My new cd, "unleashed" is now in the mastering stages, which means it should only be another month or so till completion. I'm extremely excited about finishing it and can't wait to share it with the world. I am also currently in converstations with both Tactical Sekt and Diverje about doing a remix for each of their projects' upcoming albums. That makes me extremely happy as I'm a huge fan of both projects. Every time Tactical Sekt gets played at my local club, I dance my ass off. I highly recommend their catalog to anyone into harsh ebm/industrial. March 1st.......I will be performing an ethereal piano recital w/ sound sculpture at Ruth Eckard Hall on March 22nd, for anyone in the Tampa area. I will be performing some Chopin, Beethoven, and Scarlotti, opening for the Minstrel Quartet who are masters of modern andalusian string music. Tickets are $21 at the door. End of February......I recently received a 4 star review in the latest issue of Gothic Beauty magazine for my last album, "A rain of things which happened in flashes." . "This music is just too creative to really be labeled or compared to other bands. Perhaps early Download. I recommend this album to anyone not afraid of trying something new. Just who will like this music is impossible to predict" Being compared to Download was definitely a nice analogy to hear, as their early few albums are still benchmarks in the experimental industrial genre (IMO). You can read the rest of the review by picking up a copy at any Barnes and Noble or Hot Topic. January 16th......I just put another new piece of digital artwork in my art gallery, entitled "Beauty's trap". It is a direct inspiration from a recurring dream I have been having for the past week. Although I'm quite happy with the work overall, it pales in comparision to the visions in my sleep. Too bad that is a recurrence in and of itself. I hope that I return there to continue my adventures, though that always seems to be out of control. I know that I have recurring dreams on a much more frequent basis than most people seem to, but I still don't have them enough. On another note, I am currently collaborating with Dawn Desiree on a piece of piano/vocal/sound sculputre music. Although this song will not be appearing on the album I'm scheduling to release in several months, I am very excited about it, as Dawn has an incredibly inspiring style and voice. I highly recommend checking out her catalog.
January 6th.......I just put up a brand new image in my fantasy art gallery entitled "undone". Its one of my favorite new pieces. It uses a very harsh, angular employment of shading and colors, in almost a cubist display. The other pictures I've made in the past several weeks are of a very similar style as well, which is odd because alot of the music I'm writing right now is very circular and spiral in shape with rhythms and cycles. Work is progressing on my new album, "Unleashed", but I believe I am going to have to push back the March date I was hoping to have as a release by about 2 or 3 months.
