The uploading begins

Warm for a While

After several days of rigorous and maddening recording, writing, and layering in an uncomfortable, steaming hot attic, I finally have something to show for my work. I’m still tweaking the mix here and there, and I may hear some things that will get changed before the final version, but there it is. You can also stream it from the player on the sidebar, or go to the download area if for some reason you want your link surrounded by different text.

I have uploaded 33 mp3s to the members’ area, and some of these are going to be gone eventually, ‘cuz they’re just early rough demos and some of them are mildly embarrassing, but I gotta give you early subscribers something a little bit extra. It’s five bucks for 33 mp3s (and at least 15 new ones over the next three months, though that’s a minimum that will be exceeded) and half off physical merchandise when it becomes available. Presuming the music is any good, that ain’t that bad, is it?

It’s such a strange, nervous feeling to send this out into the world. I’ve put a lot of myself into this material, and it’s so weird and exciting to try to disperse it as widely as possible. I’ve been writing and recording for almost twelve years now, and have never really tried to bring any attention to myself. I’m terrible at self-promotion. But now I’m trying to change that, so here we go…

If you like what I’m doing, please join and tell your friends, tweet this, social-bookmark it, help me get word out, if you think word deserves to get out. If I can make even part of my living doing this, then my time gets devoted to music, and when my time gets devoted to music, I write and record a lot of it. That’s the ultimate goal here. And that means a lot of music for you.
