It took about four months to create my last piece, Furnace of Life, but this time I have imposed a six week time limit on getting "No Place to Call Home" out. Now considering that I scrapped six other compositions before I created what I did do, I really have quite a bit of material I can call on for future music. This is the case with No Place to Call Home. I have taken the theme from one of my scrapped compositions to use in this one. It is working out very well. It is a darker, more foreboding piece than other things I've written. I think you'll really enjoy it. but here's the thing, I will have it released on time, but I'm very nervous about letting it go! I have received so many wonderful comments and new supporters that I am hoping that they will not be let down when they hear this newer work. So yes, it will be released on time, but certainly it has become a test of my nerve. Also, with this video I will be displaying photographs instead of actual moving video. So I'm really feeling that I have to step up my game musically and really create something that is very powerful and dramatic. There are two weeks left before the release date and the clock is ticking…

Furnace of Life (Sun video) has Finally Been Released!!

The last two months of 2013 have been crazy. It started in October. I'm going along writing the music for Furnace of Life, the Sun video, and I find that the music is just too slow and, well sad. So in we go to November and I notice I seem to be coming down with a cold. A week later I'm in my doctor's office and he's telling me I have an infection. So I take the meds and get better. Thanksgiving comes around and I'm in the ER. Stronger meds prescribed. Two weeks later, still fighting this. Working away as furiously as I can to get the music written. Spent the whole Christmas holiday in and out of bed. Went back to the doctor. He tells me that this round of antibiotics will kill anything. I think it's working, 5 more doses to go. Anyway, in a 4 day period I complete the mixdown and mastering and it's out the door. Such a relief! On to the next video, "No Place to Call Home" (Mercury)
