I Have Seen Your Light

Quote meant something to me- I paraphrased it out of the southern dialect of Of Mice and Men to something more meaningful (it used to be "i seen your light") and it was during the conversation between Lennie and Crooks in which Crooks tries to be full of pride in defense of his race and wonders why a white person would come near him without the intention of hurting him, and Lennie just says "I have seen your light."

Now, the author probably didn't mean it like that at all. He was probably just going with the story and saying "I saw you had a light on so I came in," but I believe art is open to interpretation, and I interpreted it as a double meaning- not only did it mean what the story wanted, but it also means something about interconnectivity- how one person can be so unified with the world around them that they can "see the light" in other people. I want to be able to do that, and I feel like we all get better at it every day.

I have seen the light in all of you. But can you do the same?

Working Hard Or Hardly Working

Just letting everyone know that the reason why I haven't been blogging recently is because I've been really hard at work making new music for you. The most recent thing I've put out was my Paris mixtape about a month ago (which is going to be dropping in price from five dollars to a whopping FREE because mixtapes are meant to be free) and my new stuff is going to be coming soon. So here's a little summary of my music as of right now.

As far as Bloodlines goes, it's coming along nicely still. As you all know, the writing has been done for a really long time now, which is how I've had the time to be producing MULTIPLE projects at once- I might even be releasing the new one under a separate stage name because it's honestly such a huge departure from what you've heard so far. I'm in and out of the studio finishing that up, and December 21st, 2012 is still the tentative release date.

I've been working through a site called Looperman which is pretty much this amazing way for me to get royalty free loops without being the electro industry's artistic muse, and I've heard so many great things- I think that producers and the people who remix tracks get so much less credit than they really deserve- I haven't connected directly with these producers but they are doing fantastic new things for my sound. I'm really proud. Anyway, I'll list the producers later because this post is gonna have some SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Anyway, keep an eye out for some potential collabs on Bloodlines (cough cough, Opaque Winter is a duet maybe, cough cough) and also make sure you're prepped for the release of my new EP which may or may not be free, I haven't decided yet.

Anyway here's some of the details on the new stuff... ***DRUM ROLL PLEASE FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS***

This is the artwork for the new music!!!! It was photographed by Neal Fowler, the same guy who took the picture for the Silicon Nightmare, Midnight Fission cover art. I have the names of some songs that are going to be included, but I don't want to call it the final track listing, because some more could be added, some could get chopped. I also don't have a release date for you all yet. But here are some of the song titles!
