I’ve been hard at work crafting the sounds for Panagaperos, a 3 sided album which is to serve as the blueprint for the live vehicle so I don’t have to explain to potential co-conspirators what I’m after-they can listen for themselves.
Composing and recording songs has been hard for me to get back into after long years of mostly playing only hand drums and bass for someone else’s songs, or recording lots of ambient music myself. But at long last Ascension Conspiracy resumes the Rock and blends it with the sonic texture for an aural experience that breathes and undulates.
As for live performances I’ve decided to wait until 2009 to appear in public as Ascension Conspiracy again. By then there will be no more tobacco smoking in public spaces in Oregon. As I get healthier from acupuncture and yoga my tolerance for tobacco smoke goes way down. It will also give me time to finish this album and put together a band.
