Well it has been some weeks now since I released my first EP as a solo artist, The Antique Ghost. I am very happy with the result so far. I really put this out because I was feeling it and really wanted people's thoughts and feelings. Most of which has been very positive. 2 people shared thoughts of the record being very down-tempo and chilled out. I realize this was a sort of dark and considerably laid back affair in comparison to my work with D_composure and Mindlikewater. These are my true colors here. I am a moody guy and this conceptual group of tunes are a reflection of where and what I was thinking when I wrote The Antique Ghost. I am writing new ideas. I have one EP already recorded. However, I am not sure if this is the direction I want to go in right now. Almost all of the music is electronic. We shall see. I am thinking something even more organic than the last EP would be a nice follow up. Something with a lot of strung instruments, strings, piano and layered voices. I seem to be churning out the lyric ideas as of recent. Melodies come quick for me. I am not spending a whole lot of time on this as we are nearing the completion of a new Mindlikewater record at the moment. I would however like to do one new song I have written as a sort of gift before the new year. We shall see. I also would like to put a band together behind my solo work at some point. So if you are a musician or friend of a musician that is reading this, please get in touch. Hope all is well with everyone and thanks so much for your support.
