A musicial pathway
A journey from one unique medium to the next has always been my method
of music writing. I started writing ‘The Scheme of Things’ around Sept
of 2014, a rest period after finishing ATD in Apr of that year. This
burst of inspiration began with Oracle during that time and released in
2014. Oracle being the pinnacle of ‘The Scheme of Things’ and coming
back to youthful feelings, memories and emotions exploding on the screen
as the video to the song displays, allowed its theme to continue. A
full of life representation of what it means to write music from the
heart. Could it have been any more perfect? Much like music before -ATD-
I once found this pathway through Thought Patterns in ‘Documentary’ Form. Re-visiting for a moment a track from that title Blown Glass,
where the warmth of sunshine and natural feelings explodes in full
emotional array once again, creating unexplainable feelings that sink so
deep, one is not able to contain themselves. Taking this same journey
and longing to continue where I left off from the album Documentaries, The Scheme of Things
brings me to another plain of musical existence. A place so pure and
delicate that it’s like the fabric of space and time have stopped and
placed me in a realm of warmth, and subduing the very reality that we
live in. This is how music moves me, how it places me into worlds I
cannot explain through words. It appears that this album has somehow
forged two worlds together to create a genesis or something new. Leading
into the music itself with depth such as U-235 A-Test, Oracle, Parashoots
and its latest ‘Aura’ each song and memory come to life through not the
creation from using instruments themselves but through the writing in
the mind. An album that has been created from thinking alone, dreaming,
sleeping and REM sleep. It must be possible that this album is coming
from another place other than the normal side of Electronic music
creation. The Scheme of Things is song writing itself and cannot or does
not feel traditional to Electronic music. The form and void
and shapeless method on this album is nothing like others before it.
Each song has to be delivered in such a manner that it touches the
deepest parts of me. And like every song and album, every song sounds
different from the last. The album is at its midday and It does bring a
little sadness to me knowing that before too long and as summer ends, I
know this album will come to its completion. Much like other songs that
will appear on it, such as The Sun was once yellow and Color Blue and
many others. This has been a long and graceful journey through the
memories of childhood, life experiences and life itself are coming from
this album. It is like nothing I have ever created before and it will be
the most memorable album I have done to date. I will feel almost alone
once it is done but I will feel fulfilled upon knowing it has been
released to the world.

Past and future work planned.
More time has been given me lately and I've been utilizing that time to prepare for future works.
These include:
- Finishing new album 'The Scheme of Things' by Summer 2016
- Re-mastering -ATD- and hoping to get it on vinyl and CD eventually.
- Complete First worked re-worked (this has been set aside for 3 years)
- Release an unmixed Internet album I did in 2013 (The Tron Show)
- Do a Internet show called 3.1459
- Create yet another live show Counterparts to "Thought Patterns in 'Documentary' Form"
- Begin setup on Recompiling Matrices, the squeal to The Crunching Matrices
- Create new videos to excerpts of The Crunching Matrices
- Finish the setup for The Vibes show and play it live online as well.
- Create and release videos to 'Aura' IC, Tape Head, U-235
- Finally do the -ATD- (live) show.
- Distant plans on 'The Scheme of Things' live show.
There are other things lurking in the future, I'm sure I'll begin working toward them as well.
My path is clear now and it's just a matter of doing these things.

'Aura'
'Aura' is a warm song, it's nothing like anything I've written before. It's one of a kind and different. With that difference I work even longer on it. Everything must be right before release. As I've said in the past, the music must first touch me before it touches others. I think I'm confident enough with this. Unlike Oracle, 'Aura' takes you to another part of sound. This album 'The Scheme of Things' is moving further down the rabbit hole of "Thought Patterns in 'Documentary' Form" While Documentaries was released in 2013, then -ATD- (2014) 'The Scheme of Things' is simply continuing on in the mode of Documentaries. The abstract ideas and emotional balance between both albums may appear similar but that's only because this realm was never entirely explored. The sudden jump to -ATD- after a good many live shows played over the Internet in 2013 allowed me to choose what I felt most beneficial to its sound. -ATD- was something altogether different. Now 'The Scheme of Things' is full of emotion once again just like Documentaries. This album hits on feelings that I have wanted to come out since its release. It's a summer album, entirely so, it's warm sounding. The goal is to release it in the summer. Goals are important to keep us going and keep us busy. This is a special album to me, more so than -ATD- ever could be. I believe that some of the songs coming from this album are continuing also in the spirit of Wow-and-Flutter and Tape Head. Perhaps they are distant siblings. the answers will not come until the album has been released to the world.

Music production in full swing.
Working on 'Aura' (new single) and will be released any day now. Most of the time if I'm not too busy I'm devoting time to rest and music. I have deadline for the album but it is too early as I hope to hit this deadline. No promises. 50% of 'The Scheme of Things' is complete.
