The songwriting for my upcoming NINTH original album Desire Paths is now complete!

This song is an example, as about half the tracks on the upcoming album are, of a few different song ideas that came to me at different times, working together. I was admonished early in my music career against “sunday/monday/tuesday music” in which it’s obvious that certain sections were written on different days. I’m now fully confident in my production and taste, that I can make disparate things fit, and as you can hear at the very end of this track I really think it works here. During the writing of OMOSaTIAQ I decided to make it easier for myself to actually USE some of the copious song fragment ideas I get every day, by keep little Reason template files labeled by BPM in a special folder, and when a very compelling song idea happens I check for related themes in the file with a similar tempo. ("Borne Ceaselessly" you may have noticed actually has a section in 3/4 with same-length measures rather than same BPM.)

This is a bouncy and catchy number about never presenting my real emotions and thus losing touch with their connection to my body. But the body knows, oh hell, it knows.

Sometime next week, if all goes well, you’ll be getting a link to a draft of the whole album and a request for feedback if you have any. That draft will be available to the public, because I’ve been missing twitter and feeling like my engagement with listeners is kinda sad these days. I’ll also be doing a kickstarter for this, but y’all won’t have to back that in order to get the final album download.
