The Ever Aspiring Artist

Updates and thoughts on the next project.

With “Into Now” on Bandcamp and streaming platforms, I’m onto the next project. I started conceiving the idea when a total stranger with a permanent marker decided to use my hand as a canvas. Good times were had by all.

When people ask, “How can I get inspiration?” my answer is always “Have an adventure.”

I’m taking some time this January to really learn the deeper workings of my guitar. Between Whitest Rose and Into Now, necessity required me to learn a lot of maintenance. Now I’m doing a video on demand guitar course.

I have started the process of re-recording a song that I wrote and summarily butchered several years ago. I am very excited by another song that is bordering on loud post-punk and the kind of music I hear when being woken out of a dream.

I’m researching, too. Nonfiction books. Old movies. Even an adventure here and there, as time allows. There’s a story in here somewhere. Again.

Mostly, I’m learning and expanding so that the next project can be even better than the last.

I started as a drummer who wanted to write three chord punk songs with his brother and friends. Now, it’s hard to say. I don’t watch tv. I rarely play video games. This is the thing I do. I turn thoughts into music, and whatever happens after is going to happen.
