The Songseed Premonitions… premonition
Little by little as I can steal minutes here and there, I’m getting these old songseeds narrowed down, edited a bit better and fixing the levels (as best I can, these are very lo-fi recordings) so they’re more listenable as a collection. I’m going to put them up on my last.fm page as an ‘album’ soon for easier downloading and stuff, as soon as I have them all sounding good enough. But for now I thought I’d just start putting the finished ones up on divshare as I go so you can at least check a few out right away, in case you’re one of those impatient people like me.
Here’s me yesterday tweaking sound levels n stuff, just for you! Later kids!

The Big Long Hiatus
Hello my pretties.
I’ve been taking a wee break from blogging, in case you hadn’t noticed.
I’ve been juggling some tricky situations over recent months, and one in particular has sort of prevented me from publicly discussing my personal life, at all, and been exhausting me emotionally to the point where I haven’t been inclined to write anything anyway, personal or otherwise. But that is resolving itself, finally. Hallelujah.
Of course, much of what’s kept me away has also been very good! Some of it wonderful. The biggest news of all is… … …I’m pregnant! And Larry, that special friend who saved my life in Utah, well (here’s the rest of that story that I left out before), he’s not so much my ‘new best friend’. He’s actually quite an old friend, who recently turned into much more, and he’s the daddy to be. I want to say a whole lot more here, about him and about everything, but for previously mentioned reason, I will not right now. (I said the situation is resolving itself, not resolved).
But other than that big announcement, I just want to say I’m alive and well, busy, happy, doing music, still planning to release an EP this year (though later into it than I’d hoped), and I will hopefully start posting more in the coming weeks. There are many things piled up in my head I’ve been wanting to share. I am however officially staying on hiatus, just to take that bit of weight off my shoulders that I don’t need during what’s still a pretty stressful and busy time.
Thanks so much to everyone who has written me with comments or emails expressing concern for my well being, and encouragement and support. You’re awesome.
And as a sort of present to you folks, I’ve decided I’m going to, at last, start posting clips from my improvitape sessions, which I’d been churning out like crazy last Fall but never quite felt comfortable sharing with more than a few musician friends. At this point it just seems silly not to, though. This blog was more than anything meant to document my creative process, the ‘journey’ of me creating music, not just my end results. And as you’ll soon hear for yourself, these clips (which I call songseeds) are hardly finished results. More like idea-doodles in sound. Anyway, stay tuned!
