To the left you will notice that I have added my contact information. Please feel free to contact me for any reason. I particularly like questions about music production. Questions provide the best way to develop information and posts for the Q&A section.This will also present a fantastic way for anyone to provide me with any information they may feel may benefit the site as well as report any sort of bugs that may exist.In addition to adding contact information I have tweaked some formatting. Most of it the users wont notice themselves, but it did make the site slightly cleaner.
Just to let everyone know I have been receiving some great feedback on the site so far. I have fixed some bugs regarding the backgrounds as well as some table formatting issues.
Feel free to check out all of the sections of the site. I have posted some content in all of the sections. The hardware sections has some intresting articles about some new music gear coming out in 2005.
The Livepa section has some basic getting started tutorials regarding Livepa.
I hope to add some more sections later tonight. I hope everyone likes them.
My website is now up and running. All of the sections are in place and working. I have not tested all of the posting features however so I expect some bugs will arise. I hope everyone likes this new layout over my old site. It is much more convenient for me to post information and provide all of my readers with detailed information about my musical projects as well as general information about music production.
Best regards,

Well I am slowly but surely making some progress on the site. I have the basic layout and color design down. I plan to add some graphics to spice up the site some and also add a few more categories, but the look now is the general look.If there are any formatting problems let me know.

Well it has been quite a long time since I have posted on this blog. I actually am in the process of converting my entire website over to this blog due to ease of use and posting features. Right now a default template is being used until I straighten all the layout and posting details out.Bare with me until I get everything running smoothly.
Well I went to go see a fantastic live show of VNV nation at the metro this past Tuesday. An amazing show. Just fun all around. I must say however though that the crowd was quite a large Goth crowd, and I am not Goth. So as you can guess I sort of stuck out like a sore thumb to some extent.
Big plans are on the way for my music for the new year. I am planning on a total revamp and re-launch of my website to correspond with my first CD releases and artwork releases. I have been gathering together music, and ideas for the past few months. All that is needed now is to actually record the finals of the tracks I plan to release and to begin the design process.
I have a goal to release 2 CD's of my live work as part of my initial re-launch. I will release pieces for an art installation as I develop more of the artwork, and put samples up online.
I also hope to release one CD possibly as M.A.S., but I will have to see how the creative juices are flowing for that one.
Well Christmas has come and gone and the new year is creeping up on us. I got everything I wanted and more, and unfortunately I received a lot of toys for Christmas. More things to distract me from productive music work. I have received a nice distortion pedal from my brother, and it sounds quite nice in the mix. Hopefully that will spur some things happening.
I'm disappointed that I am not performing at this coming new years eve. I had a spot slated at a barn party, but unfortunately the promoter lost the venue.
If anyone is intrested for a more formal blog, I have a site over at myspace.com to follow all of my performance reviews of my live act. This blog was designed to merely be a glimpse into the nerdy mind of an electronic artist. http://www.myspace.com/dynamicinterplay
It amazes me how much of a direct impact music has on individuals. The stir of emotions is truly remarkable and is something which no other form of art can accomplish. It is only in music that the audience feels a direct connection with the artist.
With the passing "Dimebag" Darrell in a horrific club shooting this past week it makes us come to grips with the dual face of emotion in music. On the one side it appears that the killer was struck with rage with the breakup of Pantera. Obviously psycho, but demonstrates a point of how big of an impact music plays in all of our lives. I could assume many of us are upset, angry, or sad when you find out your favorite band breaks up.
I was quite crushed this past summer to find out that "Orbital" broke up after 15 years together.
The alternative side is the unification that this music and the death has had amongst the fans of Pantera. They are united in morning, and in song over the legacy of this guitar player. Would such a unity of mourning have happened if this man were an artist instead of a musician? Maybe, but most likely not.
It is shown through history that musicians are perhaps the best able medium for art to reflect social commentary of our society. Its impact will always be the one which is most lasting and most diverse. A great musician has died because of the music, but the music will live on, and the fans will live on through that music.
My computer died on me this past week so I have had almost no access to the Internet. I apologize for the lack of posts.
However it has been revived by the gracious Dell people. Thank you warranty. However my Internet isn't working. I'm typing on my roommate's computer right now.
