Hello everyone and welcome to my website! I just wanted to give you a couple of quick updates on the state of things and the future of me and music. Before anyone panics, my music is not going anywhere and I am not going to stop making music or anything like that. That being said though, I have went through a lot this past year and I have struggled with a great deal of musical burn out. This past year has been so busy and stressful, and creating and really even enjoying music has been kind of on the back burner. Practicing and playing have been at an all time low for me, and my instruments have done a whole lot more sitting then music making this year.
To put it short, there are some big changes coming up in my life in the next few months which may actually allow me a fresh perspective, and the changes may also allow more time to start creating music again. As a result of the changes, I hope to get back into music production again soon, and I have some new ideas of projects that I could work on.
Some of these include redoing some of the songs from Exit 27 and my other older albums. In addition, I have been branching out into other areas of music besides just instrumental jazz and blues inspired stuff, and have experimented with rock music and even some vocal stuff. Do not worry, I have not abandoned the classic use of the woodwinds and of course the wonderful bass clarinet. For context, my experimental vocal album already has 3 big bass clarinet solos and lots of wind involvement. Like always, it will be produced on a small scale in my home studio which I recently upgraded with Cubase Elements which I really like so far.
Who knows what the future may hold? I am just sort of figuring life out right now, but I wanted let you know I am still here and I am still planning to make more music for you to enjoy and of course push the limits of what you can do with a bass clarinet. Thanks again for your continued support and as always, enjoy the music!
For those wanting to buy instruments, I am going to be selling some of my excess instruments that I am not playing as much very soon, so please stay tuned for that!
