This is a section for MUX blogging, blog frickity blog! Yeah, yeah. Blogs are lame, I know - but whatever, it's an easy way to keep my site up to date with what I'm up to. I am a slacker, but I will try to keep this updated on a fairly regular basis.

Bits about what MUX is brewing up in the studio

Heh.
Well, yeah, back in April, I was in fact gigging again. At least I did one gig, and while it was a great deal of fun and an excellent launch to a summer of amazing adventures, all it really did was remind me that 2009 just doesn't have room for the dozens if not hundreds of hours of work needed to properly prepare for live sets.
Instead of techno, I've turned my focus on my lifestyle; I've moved out of my basement and onto a 39-foot sailing trimaran named 'Tie Fighter', and I'm living the technomadic dream. The muse has told me in no uncertain terms that I am to focus my creative energies on writing music for the guitar and mandolin, and I have started singing again after an eight-year absence. Being 'MUX' was fun, and perhaps I'll find that the drive to create pounding techno beats will return, but for now I've packed up the synths and put them into storage. I've been sailing around the Gulf Islands, I'm working on an album of acoustic music, and I'm even tossing around the idea of dipping my toes in the world of DJing - but who knows? This year is about adventure, not about sitting in my basement staring at a computer screen.
I'll leave this site online, but most of my web offerings are now being published on my blog site, http://disengage.ca. |

Crazy! Flash forward another few months, and suddenly I'm gigging again. :) More info about the past couple of shows if you follow the 'read more' button, but the really important bit for you to take away from this post is just this: I AM NOW ACTIVELY SEEKING BOOKINGS FOR PARTIES! If you're throwing a dance party, or know someone who is, I'm available and ready to rock. |

Last Friday night I played my first show in just shy of a year... like... 11.2 months. Wow. I guess sometimes it's good to take a break, but that's a little ridiculous! It was getting to the point where I could hardly call myself a live-pa artist anymore. My friend Ross was in charge of the music for a biggish private house party, and pretty much told me I had to play, and wouldn't take no for an answer. I hadn't even plugged the gear in in six months or more. Strangely enough, when I did plug the gear all in, the sequencers were still full of techno. What's more, since I hadn't heard it in almost a year, I wasn't sick of it anymore! |

Heh - so yeah, it's been... uh, well over a year since my last post here. Many folks have complained. I guess I owe it to everyone to at least let you all in on where I've been and what I've been up to... Short version: major life changes, and not so much techno. Long version: click "read more". |
