Apple Island EP

So last night, I successfully recorded my first computer-based song, ever, "Apple Island"!! cheers to me! :) it is indeed short but i'm very happy with it!
The song will be the title of the new iTunes EP to be released this Spring 2009 along with my cover of "Major Tom" (in english) and some remixes and extras.

The story behind Apple Island is basically one of childhood mystery. It's an island on one of many lakes in Michigan, this one in particular was owned by the school system I grew up in, so once in a while we'd get to take a field trip for a nature tour or an archeological dig. But that was the only real way you could visit. And they told us it had been inhabited by American Indians perhaps 2000 years ago, and told us a story of this house way off the nature trails in the middle of the woods there that was destroyed over time, and they could only guess about their lives from what remained. Note: I did find this nice youtube video of a recent tour there, i was probably about that age when i visited 20 years ago:

So often, even as an adult, i would drive by the lake and see the island and wonder about the people that lived there long ago. It always felt especially dark and mysterious to me. So it deserved a song! And now it is. :)

I hope you enjoy it, coming soon!

new stuff

I have just contributed vocals and lyrics to a track called "Remorse" by the Seattle band, Anguisette, which should be released this summer 2009. There is also an upcoming compilation cd by Sinister Records planning to use my new track, "Apple Island" which I am in the process of completing now.

I am still composing new songs for my upcoming tentative full-length album, Chiasm - "11:11". I am planning to use mostly computer-based sequencing and virtual synths as an experiment for this one, so the transition has been interesting, I'm learning a lot and having fun with it. :)

I think that's all for now,
