I have been working on a piece of music for the better part of the last two years and it is finally nearing completion. The sound and planned instrumentation is definitely a departure from that of Aziola Cry and the subject matter is my most personal to date. I am very proud of it and hope to begin seeking musicians to play it with me sometime next year. More details coming soon.

Aziola Cry enters the studio this weekend for what should be the final recording session for the new album. The focus will be on finishing up guitar tracks and any last minute overdubs. This CD has taken way longer than anticipated but the final result will be our best work to date. The music is heavier, darker and even more complex than our first two albums. It will also be the first to feature Tom Murray on drums. I will be posting more information, including song titles and artwork in the upcoming months.

Backward Sky Falling is the name of a new project featuring Joe Kopecky and myself. At this point, an album’s worth of material has been written and a third member will be added soon to begin rehearsing and eventually record. The music is dark, heavy and very different from that of Aziola Cry. Current song titles include "Discordant Objects," "A Period Of Consequences," "Forever Never Sleeps," "Mouth’s Failing Words," "Shades Of A Darkened Lie," and "Six-Twenty Two."

Welcome to my revised website. My aim with the new site is twofold. First, I hope to be posting frequent updates on the projects that I am currently involved with. With this, I will be focusing more on my perspective as the project’s own websites will inevitably cover many of the same news items. Secondly, the site will function as a portal to these projects. I have included links both on the bottom of the page as well as within the project pages to help visitors further explore this music. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or thoughts. Also, thanks once again to Dennis with Design Ex Cathedra for building the site.
