I recently had the pleasure of partaking in this very extensive and fun interview with Dominic from EMM Report. Read it below:

Bill Fox, host of Thought Radio, will be playing music from my latest release, The Compromise Rationale, on tomorrow’s program. Tune in to listen: http://thoughtradio.org/

I have created an Aziola Cry studio log over on the Aziola Cry website. Click here to check it out.
New Video Coming
A new video for “A Certain Balance,” from the upcoming album, The Compromise Rationale, will be released this week. Using a similar approach to the other videos from The Ternary Instinct trilogy, it employs a storyline with imagery and symbolism. Created by longtime collaborator, Alex Smith, I think that he created a video is both thought provoking and visually stunning.
New Ambient Album Being Mixed/Mastered
While news of an upcoming album on Wayfarer Records will be coming next week, Dave Luxton recently mentioned this album as he is currently mixing/mastering it. Recorded last summer, this music is a bit of a departure from my previous ambient/drone pieces. I am excited to hear the final product and give updates on it’s release (most likely in December).
Mixing!
The mixing of my latest album is almost complete. I have been working on this particular recording in some way or another for the bulk of this year. It is finally getting close! If you are interested, there is a quick snippet of the music on my Facebook and Instagram pages.
BSF Recording Complete
I finished recording my parts for the upcoming Backward Sky Falling recording. Next, we are setting up some time to have the album mixed.
Recording Complete
The recording portion of a new album that I have been working on is complete. Next up, the album will be mixed at Gravel Road Recording. This album will mark my most progressive sounding music to date as a solo artist. More news later in the year as I learn more about its release.
In the studio
I am currently working on my most ambitious project to date at Gravel Street Recording. More updates as they become available.
