Every year or so, I find myself looking over my old (and mostly dormant) blogs, and in doing so feel compelled to start over with a totally new blog. Each new blog is totally doomed from the start. There's no reason to suspect that this one will be any different.
There is, however, one awesome difference between this blog and any of its predecessors: Music by me!

I had a hankering to get the old what a swell blog going again, but to be honest, the things I want to do with a blog these days are radically different. The old blog had a good thing going as a place for me to put all my quick witty comments and rip into marketing slogans and such (which I still love doing), but now I want a place where I can really delve into showcasing the stuff that I do on a deeper level. I want a place for openly exploring my approach to life and everything that's important to me: creativity, music, art, technology, philosophy, theology, and all their intersections. And that's what this blog (if it is successfull) will be all about. I may still make random posts on the swell blog just for old time's sake, but it's time to move on to something more meaningful.
I composed, recorded, and produced the song above a few weeks ago as part of getting familiar with the new Propellorhead Reason 6.0 (the new version of the primary music software I use). Reason has traditionally been mostly a synthesizer/sequencer program (no live audio recording), so I mostly used it to compose techno and video game music (I'll upload some of that later). In the new version of Reason, they've added (among many other things) audio recording, so that opens up a whole new realm of possibilities that I am only beginning to explore. Stay tuned for more!
