i wanted some orchestral textures in the final mix, so i started playing around with some midi files and decided to do a full blown orchestral version. mix finalized on feb 7, 2015.

i just finished this orchestral piece. but it's going to be an even longer wait for the next video, because i've decided i must work this into a zappa/keneally style guitar concerto. i'll then take those guitar parts and put them into the final mix. but it pushes it back at least another week.

the orchestral mix is uploading; the rss will update.
i've decided i absolutely have to turn this into a guitar concerto, as well. so, that's the next mix that's coming up: the orchestral mix with a guitar solo over it.
i think the guitar concerto calls for a specific influence from mike keneally...

stunning record, btw. highly recommended.

so, this is the way i'm doing this...
if you want to buy a specific thing, buy a specific thing. i'll make a few bucks off of it.
but if you want to pay my rent, i'll take that too :)

yeah, i'm fishing for big donors.
listen. i consider what i do to be significant art. $800 for a painting is pretty cheap. $800 for 100 paintings is practically giving it away.
i think that that may be one of the longer term changes in the collapse of the music industry. that's how this used to work before it was commodified: artists had to rely on donors.
does that open me up to suggestions? well, i dunno. pay my rent, and maybe we can talk about it.
but, music can't be free. musicians have bills to pay. so, we can either all pay a little, or the wealthy can pay a lot. and the latter is likely to lead to a deficit of access, if it takes off.
i don't have any plans to take down the per-album purchases. but if things continue as they are, we may have little choice but to look for wealthy donors and tell the masses to fuck off.
