I am excited to report that the final few recordings for my latest EP titled "Lucid Reverie" are being done this week. I have a few final "special guest" artists who are going to be putting the final touches on to a few of the songs ,and then it is off for post production. Mixing the songs should be done within the next few weeks (by mid-March) and once that is done it will be off for Mastering.

EP Synopsis: This EP constitutes a bit of a break from the large "Encounter" project that I began last year; that project will continue on next year. The current project deals with issues closer to home. This project is filled with songs, ideas, rhythms, etc.  that were written in or during dream times, though overall the songs deal with darker topics.  That does make some sense, though, as dreams do tend to deal with compartmentalizing concepts deep into our subconscious - tucked away in the dark recesses of our mind. I tend to remember my dreams more as I get older, and I am at times entertained as much of the imagery doesn’t make sense on a whole, but seem to be very much an escape from reality. Now, my dreams are NOT usually dark or nightmarish, so I don’t want people to think the topics of the songs reflect my dream states. Instead, the topics that seem to be reflected in my dream times are simply dealing with what I read or see in the current news in my area, and those stories deal with society in some way.  As my brain works social issues over, I realized that the characters in my dreams seem to live in their own world and, thus, may see the world differently than someone else; it's like each one of us lives in our own dream world. For many people in society, they will actually struggle to understand the real world they find themselves in, and I wanted to touch on those aspects of things. So there’s songs about drug use, the lack of empathy, the living nightmare of a war, and a song about mental illness, specifically a schizophrenic lifestyle.

That's a quick synopsis. There's more to come soon, so stay tuned!
