chaos is the ultimate inspiration

life feels insane lately. just insane. not bad. things are actually pretty good. just tons to do. i felt handcuffed the last few days, partially because my stomach decided to explode. i wasn't able to work on the valentine ep as much as i wanted or to get as ahead on my hwork as i wanted to.

but yesterday things kind of bubbled over.

and i knocked out a paper 2 days early.

and i mixed a couple of the valentines songs.

and today i began composing my thesis project and knocked out a huge portion of it.

yay for progress.

and now for an audio clip.

one of the most beautiful songs in a long time

this song just makes me breathless and i feel its worth sharing. i'm usually not a die hard switchfoot fan, but this is worth a listen in my opinion.

valentine ep

just about done with everything on the valentine ep! couple overdubs left, one more verse of lyrics to redo, and just mixing. woot!

the playlist:
1. brightness!
2. so i decided to sell out and write a valentine's day song
3. candy hearts
4. start (2010 version)
5. the warm shiver of eye contact

i can't wait to finish this and release it!

trips trips trips trips trips!

i have trips coming up! and i'm excited because i'm usually a homebody.
i'm going to:
sundance in utah at the end of january.
nyc and connecticut most like in february or early march.
d.c. in may.

and i'm having all sorts of people from all over the place come visit LA.

this makes me happy.

almost as happy as the new kittens inspired by kittens girl video. yay.

whoa

i've been admittedly bored by most of what switchfoot has done the last few years. in my eyes, the beautiful letdown was great, but just about all of their other albums have have had goo-goo-dolls-syndrome; in other words, they'd have a couple exceptional singles and the rest would be fluff.
well, this new album by them "hello hurricane" is blowing my mind. seriously. this thing is really REALLY good. consistent. moving. and the single "mess of me" is potentially my all time fave song by them. give it a listen, even if you haven't liked what they've done much.

new videos

!

i just wrote a techno song with flutes as the main instruments.
what is happening to me?

for me this is heaven

i recorded something just for kicks. would love to hear your thoughts on it!
