Rise of the Solar Empire is a divergence of sorts for me. This album is focused on more dance oriented beats with almost all of tracks featuring a “four to the floor” kick line. Mixed in with the danceable beats however are the signature pads and melody lines you come to expect from Dynamic Interplay.

The Electronic Musican Has A New Website

I would just like to let everyone know that The Electronic Musician Podcast has a new website, and consequently a new RSS feed. We have moved our hosting over to Podshow.com because the site overs a centralized hosting and management solution to the site. At present I am running the site through about five different logins all over the net, and the new hosting offers just more features for myself and the listeners.

You can find the new site at:
http://www.tem.podshow.com

The change makes are current RSS feed unusable, and it would be just too much of a hassle to try to update the current feed. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause the people listening.

If you quickly want to subscribe to the new feed you can click on the links below. The new feed show will offically added to the iTunes podcast library within the next day or two.

Well it seems I have moved into another one of those writers block moments with my music. These seem to happen with me about every two years. Perhaps I just get bored with what I am doing. Anyone who has known me on these boards knows it takes me an eternity to write any music at all. Usually at least a month for a track.

Currently I am in another one of those funks, twiddling my thumbs as to what I want to do now. About two years ago I quit production on the computer to focus on doing LivePA work and to try a new style of music. At first that started out great as anything else does and I was getting some pretty good shows, but at a great expense to me. I now have not done any live shows in over a year. The cost of driving out to those shows and everything was costing me a lot of money, and to be honest not that many people are looking for downtempo livePA acts. Again I am at that sort of point in my music where I am wondering where do I go from here.

Do I bring the MAS productions style and alias out of retirement, go back to computer production and back to more ambient music? On the one hand I really do want to do that and I am beginning to miss some of the stuff that I was able to o in Buzz. On the other hand I tried to move away from that vowing to go in a different direction with my music, only to find myself stuck at the same point I was two years ago, and two years even before that.

I suppose one of the things I am missing most right now is the gratification of my music. With the computer production I was really putting out some great songs and getting a lot of feedback online for my work. I left that behind for the LivePA work though, and for a while, while I was doing live shows, that was able to satisfy me because I had that feedback from the crowds. But since I have not been really putting out the shows, especially not the music as regularly as I used to, everything just seems to be lacking at this moment.

I suppose one of the things that is perhaps behind this as well is that I am done with college and now looking for a job. Ironically enough my time at college the past six years gave me some of the best free-time I have ever had to make music and those two things in my life really connect. My best music came out of those six years. Despite the some of the stereotypes of most college students I was really a hermit for most of college, locking myself in my room on Friday and Saturday nights pounding away at music with my headphones on. I really loved that and I was happy as a clam to do that, having my apartment to myself to get some real work done. I have a feeling I am not going to be able to get away with a lot of that anymore. I can already begin to feel pressures and responsibilities piling, pulling my attention and time elsewhere.

Anyways I am just sort of throwing this out there to see if anyone has some insight they can perhaps throw at me. At this point I really feel like getting back into the whole computer production thing, but unfortunately my budget just doesn't allow it at the moment.

Well Christmas has come and gone, and I hope everyone have a great time. Surprisingly my Christmas this year went off pretty much without any problems. No crazy relatives shouting at each other or anything.

So I myself got some pretty nice gifts for Christmas, some of which I would never have thought to buy myself, but really enjoy actually. The first surprising gift was an iHome H6 alarm clock. Now what is so cool about this alarm clock is that I can plug my iPod into it and wake to my iPod. Plus it charges my iPod. Two birds killed with one stone there, and I totally needed a new one. My old alarm clock I have had since i was about six years old.

The next surprising gift I got was this super small photo printer, the HP Photosmart 385. Now I am not one of the photo types but this thing prints super sweet photos. You would never tell they were printed on a home printer from a digital camera. I went to get some extra paper for it and I found a sweet value pack from HP which included 125 pages of photo paper plus a print cartridge from $40!!!! Black ink cartridges for my regular printer cost $31!!!

I got plenty of other cool things, but to sort of tie a theme together here I was reading the "Cult of Mac" book which I got. My girlfriend and I have totally fallen into the whole cult. We adore our Apple products. She personifies hers, and we even held an "unpacking ceremony" as they say only Mac people seem to do. As far as I am concerned I could do without seeing anoher Microsoft product......Except for maybe an Xbox 360.

I am getting off the point now though. Through all of this I came to realize that when I get my own place I will have to design the rest of my furniture and design around my white Apple products.

So Christmas for the rest of my family was mostly and Apple affair as well. Both my Mom and my Dad got iPods and a plethora of Apple accessories.
