"Busy With Dreams"...seconds have their moments...Steve Brand/Disturbed Earth

As the rudimentary elements of producing music of this kind, collaborating with another artist, and how it actually makes it onto cd are seldom explained, this is how these particular albums were recorded. "Busy With Dreams" is the second of three albums all recorded within a three week period in August 2008 by Steve Brand and myself. The first, "Broken Gold" was released November 2008, and the third called "The Rest Of Time", is scheduled for later this year. It felt right that we would do so… Continue

Our thoughts on the SAVO-Disturbed Earth releases "So Far" and "Flight Of Fancy"

Disturbed Earth's comment... I met SAVO on myspace about over 2 years ago. It was kinda neat. He was doing things that were so unique in the world of drum programming/experimentation and sounds that had an emotion. It was so great to hear, and I was honored that he wanted to work with me. The phone calls between Zephyrhills,Florida and Wolverhampton UK (what an amazing time for us both). Our friendship I know shines through the music on these releases. What a friend I found, and a musical partn… Continue

Thanksgiving, Mudvayne, The Foundry, AtmoWorks

We're approaching Thanksgiving in the U.S. this Thursday. My wife and I are taking a couple of days off before the holiday - so in all - we're off work from Tuesday through the weekend. Yeah! It's wonderful to have a bit of a break - and I plan to continue cleaning up my studio, de-cluttering, and making sure everything is plugged in and working. I hope to get my Mackie 1604 mixer ready to sell as well... time to downsize a bit - it's just too darn big in my small space. Thanksgiving is a… Continue

this site's look and feel and those irritating ads...

We'll be experimenting heavily with the look and feel of the site. Don't be surprised if it's dark and murky one second and looks like a sunshine day the next. We don't quite know what to do just yet and we're playing with the settings. If things look really bad for some reason - give us a second - we probably just messed something up in the layout... :) ...And about those irritating ads from google over on the right... they'll most definitely be going away! Don't worry - we definitely plan to… Continue
