Kickstarter for “Enjoy…”/ Steve Vincent

I’ve enlisted the aid of friends and fans to help Henk and I to produce our album. This process is made easy thanks to kickstarter! Please pre-order/ pledge to get a copy of the album, posters, and many other incentives!

Check out the video here:

I’m extremely pleased with Henk’s film editing skills! He took a lot of miscellaneous “making of” footage and interspersed songs from the album to give potential buyers a good preview of what they can expect. Also, Henk has been shopping for mastering companies as well. I’m extremely excited to hear the final product – It’s always fun to collaborate since so many suprises are to be had! Some people don’t like collaboration for that same reason, but sometimes it’s fun to put control into someone else’s hands. It’s a good exercise for the ego!

Speaking of collaboration, I’ve recently started work on vocals for another V-bander, Steve Vincent. Steve plays guitar on the opening track for “enjoy…” His music is completely different than anything I’ve attempted singing before. It falls into the hard-rock catagory… it’s definitely sort of metal-ish. For this project I’m developing melodies for some songs, and also singing some completed songs as well. I’m not really contributing lyrics, so in a sense, I’m acting as a session singer only. I’ve completed 3.5 out of 9 songs that I’ll be singing for the project. More on that as it develops!

Melt With You/ Of Gods & Golloms/ Philhelmon/ etc.

Plenty of updates to be had!

For starters, I recently finished the video to another cover song, this time with Margie and Erik. I’ve decided to make it a goal to produce youtube videos with friends in an effort to collaborate more with all the rad musicians I know, expand my fan base, and stay sharp as a musician. Collaboration stretches you and often makes you travel to different places than you would otherwise. So please check it out! If you like it, why not download it for free and listen to it anytime you like? Head over to the Free Music section and grab it before I decide to take it down.

I’ve been composing the music for Portly Pig Studio’s Gollom Project on an ongoing basis. I’ll be going to down to LA in April after I finish the music for the final draft. The project, which is both art installation and stop-motion animation, should be up and ready to run soon enough. Until then, here’s a little teaser trailer.

Enjoy It While It Lasts, the forthcoming album from Philhelmon, is completely in the can at this point. We’ve started a kickstarter site in the hopes of funding a decent pressing of the album. I’ll update this page when it launches so that you can have first dibs on a brand new CD! The official website can be found HERE. If you want to learn more about the project, check out the Philhelmon link at the top of the page.

Also, keep your eyes peeled for a review of the album from Progworld (or Prgowereld if you’re from the Netherlands!).

Progworld – “Enjoy…” Blurb

Wilson, Fifer, Rose is steadily chipping away at our debut album and it’s sounding great. I’ve also started contributing vocals to another project that got started through a great website called V-band.de but more on that as it develops!
