Tessa, our border collie puppy, is now a little over 6 months old. She is a bundle of energy that just loves to play. She is learning how to catch a frisbee (and is getting pretty good at it), going to obedience classes, and getting bigger every day. Here are a few pics:
I finally finished a new song! It has been a very long time since I posted any new music here, but I hope that I can change that starting with this new one. It is a trance song with a story about Charles Blondin, who, on June 30, 1859, was the first man ever to cross Niagara Falls by tightrope.
I know it has been a long time since I have produced any new music or posted anything here, but I have not given up on this blog or on composing. I just have not been able to find the large blocks of time I need to be able to actually put something meaningful together. But recently, thanks to a couple of very nice e-mails, I was inspired to finally finish a new song which I will be posting very soon. It will be called “Tightrope Walker” and will include a short story about Charles Blondin, who, on June 30, 1859, was the first man ever to cross Niagara Falls by tightrope.
About a week ago, we went to pick up our new puppy, Tessa. She is an 8 week old, black and white border collie. She is a sweet, lovable, bundle of energy. We are very happy to have her in our family!
With all the great VST and DXi plugins available these days for the electronic musician, there comes a price…a complete computer power drain. These plugins are power hungry and unless you’ve got the latest and greatest computer, you are going to need all the help you can get.
My family and I just got back from a short vacation in Lake Tahoe, Ca. We had fun hiking, off-roading, and visiting family.
A classic story and an electronic musical soundtrack are woven together to take you on a journey to a distant land, to see a different perspective, and to see yourself…because where you are affects what you see.
“There really are just a few big questions in life. Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where will I go when I leave this life? The big questions in life are in response to the only things we know about this life and that is that I am here, I got here somehow, and I’ll leave here someday.” —taken from the sermon Not Without a Doubt
If you keep thinking there’s a solution, you’ll die here… Do you understand what I’m trying to tell you? There are no answers, only choices. —Solaris
Well, it finally happened. I knew it would happen someday. The modest ranch style house that I grew up in has been demolished and a monster size stucco souffle has been put in its place. *sigh*
Noir, meaning “black” in French, is the title of a Japanese Animation that my husband and I just recently finished watching. It is a 26 episode series spanning 7 dvds and is the story of two young female assassins. I won’t say any more about the story because I wouldn’t want to spoil it for anyone who might be interested in watching it. I will say, however, that it is probably one of my favorite anime series and I would definitely recommend it.
