Been how long? Yikes.

It has been some time since I've updated my blog, as I glance at the last post date. Yikes. However there is a good reason for it, being that I have needed a writing break in all aspects of my life, including music, in order to recharge some creative batteries that were running on very low due to overuse. During this downtime however, I have not sat idle, and am happy to announce that I am in production on my first music video, with an extremely talented director by the name of Alp Altiner whose credits to date have given me a great rush on this upcoming shoot. As it is the first time I have been involved in such a production the learning curve is fast and steep, but well worth the stresses, anxieties and certainly excitement it has and continues to create within me. One of those "so much to do, so little time" scenarios that both give and take of the energies required.

The time that I have taken off from writing and thus completing some tracks that are waiting for finishing already, is not an easy thing for any writer. A sense of idleness and stagnation can creep in and make one feel a bit, well... lazy and somewhat down. I guess those are the closest descriptive words I can muster for that feeling. Yet I find those down times equally as important as the whirlwind of pen to paper and hands to keyboard times, for the following reason: the time is needed to clear the mind so that I'm writing of things anew and not of things past. New experiences always help as well, of which I've thankfully enjoyed many of late, and have made some wonderful new connections, some undoubtedly lifelong, along the way. As not to write too much about not writing, I will keep it short and sweet, but I will will say this. Some great new music is on the way my friends, especially for those that like to move their feet, and share a little rhythm time with one another. ;)

As for the video - oh my - lot's on the way for that too! A behind the scenes video is also being made, a funky upcoming photo shoot, and a wee bit more :D

Peace, peace, peace.
