The looming deadlines to get ‘Out Of Chaos Comes…’ packaged is starting to feel a bit like 4-walls closing in. The text, the who-did-what credits, the proper file formats and the puzzle of the running order vs. time are indeed getting to me. Maybe it’s the heat? Nah , it is only 110 degrees today (43 Celsius) :) Never the less, I shall persevere! AND our daughters are making us breakfast!!

We did manage to have some real creative things on the plate this week. I always loved how we ended the CD of ‘The Storm Before The Calm’ with our Eno-esque title soundscape. A daunting 29+ minute listen that I know many did not really sit through and listen. So, with the help of Ms. Rachel Duff, we created what we dubbed, a ‘sensatory sounscape’ to accompany the sonic journey. Certainly best seen and or heard in low light with some red wine! See it below or HERE. Tish and I will also be shooting some additional footage on Monday with Vicente Cordero that will be part of video for the first single from the next release, which we plan to premiere in the first few days of October.

Spent the morning also watching Ashton’s wonderful acoustic concert online, and I guess the cat is sort of out the proverbial bag after hearing his beautiful acoustic version of ‘the outside’ … which will be included on our upcoming remix/re-envision album!

So great to see many of the amazing contributors of TOS2020 share the video on their social media. It is so very important that this project get shared over and over. It’s really wonderful to hear how well the versions are being received (I knew this was a given the first time I heard one of the rough mixes) .. BUT the real reason for this project is to raise awareness and $$$ for the charities. PLEASE BUY IT in one or all of the versions. I promise you will feel better when you do. Unlike many ‘charity projects’ … ALL of the proceeds are going to these charities, which were personally selected by all the artists involved. A big thank you to Vicente Cordero for putting the amazing video together for us. And to the 39 people that gave the video a ‘thumbs down’ .. seriously what the fuck is wrong with you?? It is for charity!!!!
