Announcement Coming Soon
A press release will be coming soon with an exciting announcement. Stay tuned.
Dreaming in Numbers
“Dreaming in Numbers” arrives in two weeks on Wayfarer Records. Unlike a lot of my music, this album is meant to be calming and meditative. Dave Luxton Music mixed/mastered the album and Josh Brockett did the cool artwork.
Filming New Video
I spent last evening filming some material for a music video. More footage is in the works. I will be talking about this album in more detail as it gets closer to the release date in March.
Prog Rock for Beginners
Thanks to Chuck Simons at ProgRock.com for playing “Buried in Contemplation” on the show today. You can listen here:
Recording Aziola Cry
I am in Gravel Road Recording for the next week recording my parts for the upcoming Aziola Cry album. At this point, I am about half way done with my basic tracks. I begin song four tomorrow.
Thanks ProgDay
A heartfelt thanks goes out to the people of ProgDay. The organizers did a wonderful job making us feel welcome and ready for the show. The audience was amazing and it was so great to speak to so many people. Hopefully I will be back in NC soon…

The Ternary Instinct Part Two
I am excited to announce the release date for “The Compromise Rationale,” the second part in the “Ternary Instinct” trilogy. The album will be released on September 23rd on Wayfarer Records. Whereas, “Fictional Mirrors” explored the superego, “The Compromise Rationale” takes on the ideas surrounding the ego. Once again, the album was completely recorded using the Warr guitar and features artwork by the incredible, Michal Karcz.

New Ambient Album Being Mixed/Mastered
While news of an upcoming album on Wayfarer Records will be coming next week, Dave Luxton recently mentioned this album as he is currently mixing/mastering it. Recorded last summer, this music is a bit of a departure from my previous ambient/drone pieces. I am excited to hear the final product and give updates on it’s release (most likely in December).
New Show Added
I will be performing a solo set warming up for District 97 at Reggies. More information may be found in the events section of the site or at: https://www.reggieslive.com/show/district-97-9/
Rehearsals
Aziola Cry will begin a series of rehearsals to prepare ourselves for the August 20th gig with the Aristocrats, ProgDay 2022 in North Carolina, and a headlining show at Brauerhaus in Lombard, IL. We are also incorporating a new sound system which will help with our live sound.
