Interim

I apologize for the lack of posts recently, but I've been a bit consumed by my life. Beyond many personal challenges I've been going through this summer, which this isn't the space to get into, I've been working a lot more and pursuing my various creative outlets. After a year spent not playing music I've started working on some multi-instrument recordings using the handy Garageband, a bit of a cross of Sigur Ros, Bill Frisell, Dvorak, and Leszek Jankowski (most famous for his soundtracks to the films of the Brothers Quay). I have also begun teaching guitar lessons (thanks in part to the lesson plans on this site), which has been an interesting challenge so far, and is teaching me more about the instrument than I "actually knew" in my fifteen years playing. On top of this I have also been writing a hundred+ page personal history of my lifelong relationship to spiritual questions and practices, from Catholicism to the occult, anarchism to the I Ching, entheogens and yoga to mythology and dreams, from all of which I could say that one of my foundational beliefs has been that world views are (or can be) remarkably subjective and flexible. Perhaps more on this later.
