Next weekend, I will be hitting the road with Lateralus. On Friday, I will be in Lincoln, NE at and in Iowa City, IA on Saturday. Check out my bandsintown or events pages for more information. Can’t wait!
Almost Entirely Forgotten
7D Media has released my new single entitled, “Almost Entirely Forgotten” today!
When Hajo Mueller was putting together the CD artwork for A Confusion Sequence, he had the idea to include some final words to close out the booklet. I loved this idea and knew exactly what to include. Coincidently, I had written one additional song for the album that wasn’t finished at the time, but it fit both musically and thematically. “…almost entirely forgotten…?” was added to the booklet’s closing as a hint to this additional song and conclusion to the story.
Almost Entirely Forgotten features Marco Minnemann on drums once again and was recorded similar to our previous collaborations with one major exception. Typically, I leave overdubs and solos for after the drums have been recorded. For this song, I handed Marco a completed song for him to play along to. Amery Schmeisser mixed and Andy VanDette mastered once again.
New Song Tomorrow
Look out for a new song being released tomorrow on 7D Media. More details coming.

Subsequent Ruins Turns Two
Two years ago today saw the release of Subsequent Ruins featuring Marco Minnemann, my first release for the 7D Media label.
