New album: The Night Will Pass
I did it! Went all out and got the new album I recorded copied with a full color lyrics booklet included. I always wanted to have my own music in a physical format like this. I have extra copies if anyone wants me to mail one (the first ones have a few typos in the booklets but I wrote in by hand the most glaring issues…lol) but anyway here’s a digital link to the whole thing too for free download if anyone cares:
Shed Light
I am putting together a short collection of very old songs I re-recorded and want to release together. This is one of my favorites of those early pieces. I’d had my first piano for less than a year and was amazed at how many ideas I was following through. It meant everything.
First Portrait Series
All in order from top left to the right across, the last being a self portrait (the center one is my mother back in the day). I started this back in the summer and finished last week, finally. I don’t want it to be said that all I did was abstract art. Now that’s put to rest. Prints are up as well at my zazzle shop Among the Ashes. If I had enough money I’d open a real poster shop. I’ll keep dreaming.
My New Album
This I hope will be the last collection of boring acoustic piano pieces. I need variety and will try to make the next set a real difference from prior work. Time to experiment.
What matters most…
I would get this tattooed on my back if I had the guts…
Sweet Rose
Rose we are nothing alike.. This world wants you, This world loves you.
THIS WORLD, SO IN NEED OF YOUR KIND.
Good things…sure.
My mother has a small poster with this saying on it. I made my own version, painted the background, inserted the text. It’s no good when the weight of all the things I hate having to do begin to smother out the few things I love. When the money is not good enough and recognition is weak and people are jerks because they’re better at nothing else and you put up with a few too many things you just shouldn’t have to put up with…I have to spend a decent amount of time talking myself down. It’s a real shame. Life is already short enough for us humans. It shouldn’t be this hard for one to stay.
Niagara
Shades of Shadow
I finally finished my second song collection. The painting above is the cover image. It’s the work itself I live for. This could suck to everyone else, but even so, this all accounts for my time here not being a complete waste. We all need something to live for. I’m already working on #3 with an aim to get the music & timing just right for each song. Trying to get things perfect drives me nuts but I can’t help myself…lol
