I SATELLITE will be performing live at the Autobahn Festival at Joe's Java in Wilmington, Ohio on April 25th, 2009.

I added some instrumental tracks to MySpace a few weeks ago and their status is now set so you can download them for free. Enjoy!

News from IS:

1) Omeganaut Studio is up and functioning as of EOD Saturday. The Rev. 2 Prophet-5 has returned from the repair shop along with a few other pieces of gear that have broken down over the past few years. The Prophet was used on nearly every track I made and has not been fully functioning since AUTO:MATIC came out - it broke down the day after the AUTOBAHN concert. I've uploaded some studio photos (but you have to be confirmed as a friend to view them).

2) I found some additional footage from the AUTOBAHN concert and will be uploading them to YouTube within the next few days. I have live videos of: "Robot Parade", "Bubbleboy", "I Want You" (partial), "Out of Space", "AutoMat" and "A Victory Of Love".

3) I came across some photos from my former band "9 React" from back in 1987-1988 last weekend while rummaging through some boxes. For the curious, I'll be uploading them to the photo section soon.

4) I had planned to get a track done this weekend, but so far it's only the germ of an idea - not a song as of yet. My son heard it and said it sounded like I SATELLITE so I guess that's good.

That's all for now...back into the studio!
