La Vida Loquisima
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009Thanks to everyone who made it out to the Monkeytown show. I appreciate everyone’s patience as I slowly iron out all the technicalities that make my show both unique and prone to disaster. I can promise that as time progresses, and I get more chances to hone my performance, things will solidify. In lieu of this observation I’ve decided to book some shows for this express purpose. I’ll be doing several smaller shows in Athens over the new few months preceded by a bigger one at the 40 watt opening for Boombox. Keep an eye on my myspace page for dates.
Pre-production on Lorica is going swimmingly. As you may or may not know, despite the fact that a lot of my music eventually evolves into electronically refined and textured tunes, it almost always starts out with a core song written with acoustic instruments. Right now I have the scaffolding of 7 or 8 of those, and I’m getting ancy to push into the next phase of recording. I’ve made a commitment to myself to do more documentation, so I’ll be making an effort to keep you folk in the loop with some sound and video samples of that process. 
Living here in NYC has been a really mind expanding and influential experience for me. I’ve come to question a lot about who I am and how I relate to my environment. One of the things that I’ve come to understand is that I can’t really separate my artwork with who I am, so I’ve tried to integrate some of the more personal elements of my life into the overall aman amun practice and presentation. I threw some of my photography up on my flickr page and am working on fleshing out the portal into a more integrated representation of my “online presence.” You can find it under ‘Discover More’ on the sidebar. Being at Frog has pushed my design and development skills as well. If you dig some css then keep checking back to see some evolution; the portal is my next personal project under that umbrella.
To reference Ringo:
Peace and Love, Peace and Love, Peace and Love.
