The Journey

This CD was created in my recording studio which is located in my bedroom. The way it came about is that I was in the process of writing music for night clubs/raves and so I went around to people and I asked them what they would like to listen to, party to, or dance to if they were out on the town and they all consistently told me that they would like songs that are at least five minutes in length with tempo changes throughout the song. So I went home and started building what I like to think of as "an album for the people by the people". I really felt it was important to get people to share their wants and don't wants before I made this CD. After about three months of non-stop work on this album it came to completion. Then I started demo-ing the CD for people and I received an overwhelming reaction in favor of my creation. I was told that the energy was dialed in, that it was definitely aggressive/edgey, and was something that they'd like to go clubbing to. After the creation of the music came the other hurdle...the creation of the graphic design for the CD. This was a work in progress for approximately 6 months but I soon had dialed in everything the way I wanted. It not only looked professional but the colors I ended up using seemed to fit the style of music as did the actual graphics used on the CD case. With this completed I started shopping my CD to record labels and I was met with a positive response but as with everything timing needs to be there and it wasn't in my case. So I continued shopping the CD and I was unfortunate to not get anymore than a positive word and then to be pushed away without any kind of explanation. So being less than happy with that treatment I decided to shop the CD to the consumer as a grass roots campaign to see if I could stir up interest. Upon making the decision to do this I found this web site which is far more appealing to me so I don't have to sell my soul to some corporate executive who thinks muzak is a viable source of creativity. At this point, all CD's are hand made by me. This includes the CD insert, the CD spine, and the CD label. I hope this music gets your attention and that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
