In this first entry on the new and improved site, let me start by saying that I shall try to keep the contents of this blog rather concise and focused on musical discussion. If you’re interested in any of my ruminations about faith, politics and various other topics, you’re welcom to review the “older” postings, as well as my myspace page (ya gottta have one these days!).
Let’s begin by talking about the new direction I’m hoping to take in the next few months. Having dwelt upon my self-produced recordings, I can say with reasonable conviction that I need to make my arrangements a bit more “portable”; I find myself following the reverse career arc of the Beatles. With that said, the aim of the new project, Birds Anonymous, is to bring not only selections from the past few recordings to new life, but to write new pieces with a greater adherence to clarity and simplicity. At the heart of every good song is a resonant passage that sells it; declares it as something unique and important. I resolve to let these signatures sing out, unencumbered.
