Sick on my Knees 06/12/2009
 

I got SIIIIICCCCCKKKK this week.  Like I was hit in the chest with a baseball bat.  Done.  On my back. 

My body is purging.  I'm going to quit smoking.  New music will be made.  It's going to sound different.  I feel different.

 
 

So the bookshelf is finished in my front room and all the books from the garage are now inside, clearing way for me to navigate the garage a little bit better and get working on a garage sale.  Slap some hooks in the ceiling for the bikes and bam, room to put together a little music studio.  I fell ill today and am home from work.  I've been going through all this old stuff I found and I stumbled across a journal of poems I had started in 2004 or so.  There's about 100 poems in it that I hadn't read since I wrote them.  There's a prose piece I wrote right after my first son was born.  Thank God I found this stuff.  Here's a poem I found about writing music:

Composing

Quiet time
inside insight
feeling waves
emoting angels
it hurts sometimes
eyes ache
back gets sore
ears sweat and ring
surrealistic beat
juggle break dance
apocalypse strutting
brain pulse
electronic composer

 
 

I am very inspired and know exactly what I want to write when I get to write it.  Thing is, I need studio space.  So I have this garage that is finished and perfect for a little studio in the corner.  There are many books and other crap in the garage.  I just turned a closet in our living room into a bookshelf.  It took all weekend and that will clear out some space.  Next step...garage sale.  Then Hooks for hanging bikes and turning an extra closet door into a big huge table with milk crate legs.  I need milk crates by the way. 

Once these things are done, I'll be in business with a whole new musical direction and purpose.  I'm working hard for this new evolution. 

 
 

This track was made by ProtoBasic.  It was one of my first tracks I made when I got back into electronic music in 2002.  I hope you enjoy it.  I was just listening to it in the car with the windows down and it seemed to fit perfectly with this strange weather.  I dug it on my drive to this meeting I'm waiting for so I thought I would give it to whoever wanted it.  Enjoy.
