Past, Present, Future...

I wonder if I pushing myself to nothing. Am I working on something other people don't care about as much as I do, should I continue and should I quit now? I ask myself these questions a lot when it comes to my music. Considering I haven't put out an album yet I try to push these questions aside, but when I look at my Void Of Axis page on Facebook and see how small my fan base is and how little interaction I have with them I wonder how do I reach out to new people and whether or not they will even care about my music. I will admit, I am not what the radio plays today. But i'd rather be true to myself and what I feel is right, I choose to create the type of music I do because I generally like it and it sounds like something i'd like to listen to. I am hoping I am not the only person out there. I don't have an agent, I don't have a record label to fund me, and I really am trying my best to do everything. From working on music, to creating artwork, to finding live shows to play, to creating the best experience I can, but i'm not sure I can do it alone. I am just really confused as to what I should do next, I am working on trying to promote Forest Of Memories Vol. 1 which as i've been told is NOT an album I would get signed for. And I knew that when I created it, the album is not a commercial record, its a series of albums that just reflect the past. So far, the past has been a reoccurring theme in my life and I was to just release this and everything else that is in the "past" so I can move forward in to present and future.

I will reflect more later, have to get ready for Euchre today with the girls.

Forest Of Memories Vol. 1 New Cover, Void Of Axis Information, Bears On The Coast Episode 5...

Forest Of Memories Vol. 1 now have a new cover, I felt the original cover was too cluttered and not up to the best it could be. I've been working really hard on trying to get the promotion of the album ready. I am pretty sure that I will be selling my music officially on CDBaby, and also will be exploring the other possibilities given to me once that is set up such as being able to purchase albums and singles on Amazon, iTunes, Physical CD's, etc. I'm also hard at work on getting a music video done for "A Matter Of Time" and even setting up some live shows to help promote the record.

Bears On The Coast Episode 5 has been uploaded to Youtube. It is too long to upload to Facebook so its only available on Youtube for now. I will be working on Episode 6 soon which will consist of the remaining footage from our weekend to Orlando.

First Single is A Matter Of Time, Forest Of Memories Info, Bears On The Coast Episode 4 & 4.5

I am happy to announce that A Matter Of Time will be the first single from my forth coming album "Forest Of Memories Vol. 1". The single will contain the album mix of the track as well as the demo version of the track. The release date for the single is February 8th and Forest Of Memories will be released on March 21st. I'll soon announce where you can purchase both the album and the single. Also the artwork for both A Matter Of Time & Forest Of Memories have been finished and are featured above, I hope you like. I am in talks with a friend of mine who will be helping me create a music video for A Matter Of Time. The ideas so far are very good and I think it will show some how serious I am about my music. I am currently in the process of doing the inside art work for Forest Of Memories. Most of the theme to the booklet will be the theme of my past since the album is a somewhat biographical look on pieces of my life...

Bears On The Coast Episode 4 and 4.5 are now out both on Youtube and Facebook. I recently did a facelift on the Youtube page to reflect the new show so I hope everyone likes it.

The Year Of Change, The Void Opens Soon, Bears On The Coast Episodes 2-3...

2010 was an interesting year, it was the year that many changes occurred in within my life. May relationships destroyed through greed and hatred, but with those bridges burned by others many new ones were created. Many new friends have been made and more importantly, family members I look forward to making new memories with. This will definitely be the Year Of Change for me, from New York, to Michigan, to Florida. It really has been very interesting and now I am ready for a new chapter in my life and to see what happens here and now. In the past couple of days, I've been considering starting to write a sort of biography of my life up until this point. The problem is finding a place to start the story of course, it could start during high school, but I think it would be good to start the moment I was out on my own. I want to be brutally honest with this story and tell everything I can tell no matter how much it matter hurt. This is just to show how far I've come and now where I can go from here. I am very optimistic of my future here, and things are slowly coming together. I have an appointment to get my state id soon and then I can start looking for work, in the meantime I will be doing my best to get whatever I can together. As well as writing my biography probably in my spare time, I won't share the biography with anyone till I feel it is done which will be a long time from now. I honestly just say let me write what I can and someday when I feel its write it will appear.

This will be the year my music finally starts, I am in the final stages of my first full length LP since Purgatory this past October. I will be finalizing vocal work this month and copyrighting the material. The single for the record has been chosen and I will be working with someone on creating a music video for it as well as artwork for it. I will also be working on the rest of the artwork and getting the album released. I've had to pull the March release date as I don't believe it might make it to that date, but once the songs are legalized and finished I can say when I release date is. I am glad this is finally coming along and I look forward to having people listen to it.

Bears On The Coast Episodes 2 & 3 have been uploaded and are availble to watch now on my Youtube page. We also have a new page for Bears On The Coast on Facebook which I will link below:
