Too much has happened in my actual life to write about currently. Most of them have been great, necessary occurrences. One of them was nearly an unthinkable tragedy. In short, things are much, much better but I can't go into how right now.

I've started the brainstorming portion of my next project. I was initially going to take a different direction with my ideas - something structured similar to Kompakt's Gas but with a far different tone. I nearly finished a track but I have no longer the means to make something that requires the technology.

Instead I'm going to attempt to create something more in tune with the style of 1997 era UK output. The mood is going to be aligned with my initial intention of recreating powerful but unique emotion. This is what I tried to do in 2003 with IWHYJGMAC but that material definitely needs tons of polish before I would subject to it (a lot of it was recorded through speakers into a mic).

This should be a lot cleaner but will be a huge challenge to master. I'm (in a way fittingly) stuck with what is basically beginner / not serious software and tools. In fact, it's the very same I was using almost seven years ago. Although using the software feels like visiting an old friend in familiarity, it just is terribly inefficient. Maybe that will force me to try harder to recreate the sound that has sort of faded away.

I really wanted to continue the Gasesque project but, with the recent events that have occurred, a more emotional adventure is going to be easier while it is raw in my mind.
