Yeah I don't write in this thing enough. I know it. But I have a lot going on, which is a semi-acceptable excuse.

At least I think it is.

At any rate, I'm pretty swamped. So don't think I've dropped off the planet or anything :-)

First things first, I've got several remixes coming out here soon. The first is of Vieux Farka Toure and is coming out on his remix disc on Modiba here soon! This is the remix that won the recent contest over at ccmixter, so check it out! I've also got one of Boom Jinx coming out on Hunyamunya (this one's been coming out forever), and one of Dustin H for Pacific Front. They should show up in the old trusty Beatport player on my main page when they come out...

Second things second, I've got a 2 track EP coming out on Proton later this year! Jason had this idea to do some big epic soundtrack meets electronic stuff, and so I wrote a couple of tracks. One of the songs is going to be on a comp in August, the EP's coming out in September sometime, and then we're getting some remixes done on them which will come out later on. It should be cool...and I should know, since, you know, I wrote them and all.

In other news I've been doing some cool work around Nashvegas, doing some electronic parts (we call it "programming" in the biz - yeah I sound lame saying it like that) for Charlie Peacock which was a blast. He's one of the coolest people around here and very down to earth. In fact one day I was up at his studio teaching him how to use Reaktor which was pretty surreal.

I'm also working with blues producer/guitarist Kenny Meeks doing some lo-fi organic type remixes of artists like Marc Broussard, B. Young and other peeps. This is totally different than the other stuff I'm doing and is super cool. I love exploring different directions and this is like downtempo meets surf rock and 70's soul all rolled into some crazy sounds.

And of course, I'm still working with Elese on a record, and we've been working on it quite a while. At some point here we will have a release party and get this thing out the door :-)

I've also been producing some small indie projects, and one of the more recent projects I worked on was with a blues artist named Erisa Kopp. I've also got some remixes done for Faith Gilmore (which we will get up into the world sometime!) and am working on various other projects like scoring short films and such.

Anyway, I've rambled long enough for now - but you should also know that I working on a deal to do the composer thing for a bunch of reality shows, which would be sweet.
We'll see how that works out...

Peace.

Tim
