"Hello out there in Reality TV land..."
Welcome to my new blog, which is going to be kind of a combination recording journal and general news forum for Project Vector and also a space for more general musings about life, music, pop culture, sexuality...and probably some other stuff. ;-)
As I sit here having my third cup of morning java, I'm not really relaxed; UPS will be delivering my second reference CD for the new album from the mastering facility today, and I'm just keeping my toes crossed that all will be well on this one (I'd cross my fingers, but it makes typing rather difficult). If I have to request more mastering changes, it'll hold things up even more, and the chances of getting it released this month will rapidly start to evaporate. But I'm being optimistic and hopefully we'll be good to go and can finally start getting those CDs pressed!
Meanwhile, I've been thinking lately about the state of music in general in 2005 and wondering where I'm going to fit into all of this and how Reality Show, the new album will be received. You know, you work so hard recording a CD and you do what you can to get the word out there, but it's not easy. People are bombarded by so much from the Internet and media anymore that they're in a state of information overload...managing to be heard at all in the midst of that cacophany is no small feat. It's hard for me sometimes, because I really just want to express myself in music, and so much of what's involved in releasing a CD has nothing to do with the creative process. But as P.T. Barnum once said, "without publicty, a terrible thing happens...nothing." So, we do what we have to do!
Well, I guess it's time to sign off for now, pull some clothes on, and go for a short walk to clear my head before I get down to the day's business. Not to mention take the puppy out before she does something uncool on the carpet(!). Take care, my friends - talk to you soon...
