- Your lyrics aren't posted. What are your songs about?
Inner Space and Outer Space and everything in between.
- The player on your site isn't available anymore. What is that and why?
Those are releases I'll be making as time progresses. I have years and years of music. I also need to get permissions. Those are some of my older bands and I don't want any of that stuff to fade away. There was some great music in some of it.
- Do you have a band?
Why yes, I have a small but trusted group of musicians I like to use when I play shows or run into a problem in the studio. I will be introducing them soon via the website.
- What was your process on making these albums?
My process has been different for everything that I have done. And there is a lot, even though it's not generally known to the public. I have been behind the scenes for a lot of stuff. And I spent a majority of my career as a studio mole. I have probably between 20 to 25 albums worth of material that I need to release. It's very daunting and I was lazy with it for a lot of years. I would needle a recording for so long that burnout would set in and I would walk away. I've never done acoustic instrument work before and I wanted to portray the mellowness that kind of overtakes you from being in the southwest. It isn't like Hawaii though. There is definitely a tension. Most of the music I've done is very abrasive and it stands in a room and screams “ Look AT ME!!”. This stuff is different. It's so stripped down in comparison.
- These recordings were done in NM?
Yes, except one or two songs per release. I recorded Starting again in Dallas. Olympia was recorded in Olympia Wa. Natalia was tracked multiple times in multiple places. Everything is an evolution.
6. (Per a reviewer) The song Catastrophe Key seems very bleak and nihilistic. Do you feel that way?
No. I think there has been a misunderstanding as to what the song content is about. I kept hearing variations of stories of people going out into the desert to construct magical portals and keys to bring about Armageddon or something like that. I just wrote a song about those stories from the mind of that type of person. I sing stories.My songs don't have a greater meaning than that. Or do they?? Muahahahaha
