Bad blogger, no posts!

Okay ... I'm going to start rectifying that.

First, while my little blurb talks about music, I haven't. I listen to a broad variety of weird stuff, but I'm particularly fond of various world & electronic genres, as well as post-rock & new surf.

Right now, I'm pupmed because we've just decided that we need a vacation, and what better vacation than to go to the Southwest, where I've always wanted to go & never been? How does this connect to music, you ask? Because one of the high-points of the trip is going to be going to a Steve Roach concert.

If you're unfamiliar with Roach, he's a pioneer of ambient music, who's had a long-standing interest in creation of mystic or sacred space with music. He's done a number of collaborations with musician & shamanic practitioner Byron Metcalf. My favorites are Serpent's Lair and Wachuna's Wave. His work was a major soundtrack for me while I was doing "Journey to the West."

Anyway, the concert is on March 5, and I am so excited. As you can tell from the link, there's going to be a lot going on -- music, visuals, a reception. Given my interest in music as a force to create a space, and my interest in doing multimedia work at some point, I'm particularly jazzed. It's nice to have something to look forwards to, and to take a vacation.
