A bit late getting out this weeks tune. The blog is starting to take shape so I was doing a little re-organization on the back end.

Going to introduce each song on their own page with lyrics, additional posts and hopefully your comments!

Look for the next song a little later today!

Inside features the incredibly talented Jen Crowe. Some of you may have caught us when we were doing a weekly show at Genghis Cohen. We recorded this song as well as a updated version of Soul Song (will be released too). Jen and I plan to record the acoustic versions from the set we did.

The Song Art this week comes from U.K artist: Joe Sutherland. I chose it because fractals are inward and infinite. Like the complexity of relationships which this song is about.

Per request I will start posting the lyrics. Starting today with Amen form my debut recording.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

How Can it Be – The Department of Redundancy Department called…again.

You know I love me some gizmos, so don’t get me wrong. This song is a poke with a wink and nod to the technology I embrace and create with. Sometimes it feels like a distraction though. Other tunes of mine had a darker ring to this idea of access but disconnection. Sensing a theme?

Anyway. I do tend to repeat myself. But I never say the same thing twice.

So here is this weeks download. City Life.

I also decided to give each song a little flair with some individual art work for each song.  What do you think? If anyone is inspired to create their own album art for this or any of the other songs please post it!

Ok – the tweaking of this mix has been halted…for the moment.

Click here: Need to Need – Download of the week.

Take a listen. Share it with your friends.

Need to Need will be posted tomorrow. I Need to quit messing around with the mix already and post the song and be done with it! The loading up of a song a week is helping me finalize them for sure. I never have this problem when I produce other peoples tunes, the endless options can be a bit much on my own stuff though.

Been working hard at NMP HQ (Which has been relocated 3 times this past year!) finishing up a bunch of tracks.  Now the new site/blog is ready for lift-off! It will be a work in progress, but the main thing is to have the music up and out there for folks hear.

The plan is to release new songs one by one. Each week I’ll make a new tune available to listen to and download if you like.  Along with some info about the song itself and how I went about producing it. Ultimately they will culminate in my 3rd  full recording with the working title “Murmuration.”

I hope you enjoy the songs – please SUBSCRIBE to get updates on the new tracks as they come out!

And finally, for any collaborators out there, all my material on my site is under the Creative Commons licenses – more on that later.
