  • Closing In On It

    Closing In On It

    Would you notice a change if it didn’t come out and hit you in the nose?

    It’s been a ridiculous week of change the world over. I’ve had my nose deep within my own little world while the U.S. President (in 2025) has decided to cause insane global turmoil. His stupid policies are working on tanking the financial markets. He won’t listen to reason, or the American people, but he will listen to money.

    In my little musical world there’s a bit less turmoil.

    As I’m writing this, there’s another song coming out in a few hours to embrace those who are fans of the Charlotte Hornets, Do You Want to Play Charlotte Hornets. Of course it’ll be streamable the moment this goes live anyway.

    There are tweaks abound on my website this week as well. A more cohesive color palette and a new feature on the music page.

    With the colors it’s a matter of working on a goal with overall arc of the music. Strange what a little research and self reflection can offer up for change. Before yesterday the palette choice was slick, but kinda boring. Hell, it could be argued it’s still a bit boring. Though the changes were minor, they are anything but subtle.

    For the music it is now possible to see all the releases (as before), just the Albums or only Singles. Three buttons now allow you to sort to your heart’s desire. As the year progresses, there will come another category, but alas you’ll have to come back if you wanna figure out what it will be.

    As I get further along with getting these songs released and the website tweaked, my sleeping has begun to improve. No idea why, but I’m super happy to be getting more than 5 or 6 hours of rest. Returning to 7 hours is a real win. I hope the same for you as well.

    As for the moron-in-chief, let’s hope that the money currently backing him will dry up and go away. Which in turn will cause him to go away. If you’re feeling like you’re in a protesting type of mood, here’s a heroes playlist.

    In meantime, hold on to your butts and make sure you fill your life with music!

  • Musical Chairs

    Musical Chairs

    Another week another release. This time it’s the version of Do You Want to Play for the New Orleans Pelicans. Hopefully they’re not getting hit too hard with the storm blowing through the Midwest of the U.S.

    Crazy week of things. Quite a few things are about to take shape behind the scenes for the dot com. One of the biggest involves a credit card sized computer, or rather computers. No, it isn’t going to be an AI thing.

    While not quite ready to out exactly what is going on, I can say it should lead to an improvement. In a way it’s a switch to a new chair in the circle of my music. Everything has been circling around and around and it’s about to sit down to see what gets excluded, or possibly included going forward.

    Musically speaking, I did do a little ditty for a possible commercial along with all this that is being released every week. Awaiting with bated breath to hear if it gets chosen. Despite being biased, I think I nailed the brief and what was asked for. Though nailing it doesn’t always lead to getting the gig.

    Beyond music, I’ve stepped into another higher level in something sporty. For those who follow me on social media, you might notice what that sport is. Let’s just say, I’m working on taking it pro.

    Next week should see me starting to knock out some more 360RA mixes for some music that will be released later this year. If you haven’t had a chance to experience it, it’s very similar to Dolby Atmos and I’m that much of a music nerd that I want to release as much of the music I have in both immersive formats.

    Pardon my dust while I work on getting next week’s release out the door, cause this week’s is out!

  • From Zero to Website Store: The Exciting Roadmap of My Digital Music Empire

    From Zero to Website Store: The Exciting Roadmap of My Digital Music Empire

    It’s weird getting ramped back up. I don’t feel like I ever left, however that isn’t reality. With doing so much to get so much content together it’s been a super long road (a couple of years).

    A vast majority of that is all about getting an insane amount of music done and dressed up. Then all the little things that go with the music. Which right now is the cover art. I’m knee deep in that now.

    When I got into this business I never had a moment’s thought to using spreadsheets for anything music related. Such is no longer the case. I’ve got multiple spreadsheets covering a variety of music related stuff now.

    My biggest spreadsheet is one that covers all my artist released songs with all the relevant data that goes with them. A good portion of that is now visible on this website. Codes that travel behind the scenes with each song in the digital world. Those codes help artists like myself.

    Those codes also help services keep track of things as well. Which in turn helps artists like myself. They help us get paid whenever a song is performed or used. Which is a huge aspect to the modern music world. And it’s a major part of the nerd in me to turn around and let you in on this little weird part of the world.

    This week has a few more website tweaks that are bringing it into the final stretch of a full redesign. Plus it’s the launch of yet another single. This week it’s the Brooklyn Nets, and NBA team with a relatively recent city and name move, along with a new look. Which is also part of the ‘music’ page, a new background video. There is one more tweak to the music page to make it better for you – however, I need to finish something else first.

    My website store is back up and fully running. I’m still working on adding some additional goodies for you. It’s exciting to see it finally coming to full fruition. There is one more aspect to the website store that I’m hoping to tweak, maybe next week it will be considered completed.

    Until then, enjoy the music and be prepared as there is whole lot more coming for a long time to come.
