It’s late. I should be sleeping, but I am blogging. I should be writing music instead of blog posts, but until I hire a social media assistant, I guess this is the best way to go.

Well as I am sure you know, my 2nd album “Effervescent” got pushed back. We are still expecting a release before the summer is over however. So be looking out for it.

I love you guys!

Thank you so much for your prayers and support!

Just in case you are feeling like your art is a waste of time (much like I have been feeling lately), here is something to remind you never to give up.

Some say that James Horner’s score for Avatar does not stand well on it’s own apart from the film. I felt the same way about the music while listening to the soundtrack before going to see the movie. After watching Avatar however, I had an entirely different opinion. It is not that the music does not stand well on it’s own, it is simply that it is PERFECT for the Avatar experience. Once you see this film the music really starts to make sense.

Now even when listening to the soundtrack apart from the film, I thoroughly enjoy the experience. As a matter of fact that is the perfect word to describe the soundtrack; “an experience”. That is exactly what Avatar is. It is not merely a film, but an in-depth almost interactive experience and the music is inexplicably tied to it, a lot like the alien world in the movie is connected to it’s inhabitants.
