Sounds - Images - Words

It takes quite a bit of concentration for me to work this process of defining myself as an artist that works in various media. Sometimes I have a hard time distinguishing between my picture making and my music making and at other times the two seem so very different that I think of myself as two very different people doing very different things. I think that is why in my earlier days I took on the term "Split Brain Syndrome" as a performance name. Maybe it still applies.

I have recently started collecting musical instruments again and started playing a lot more. I have all sorts of musical ideas and I even am thinking about rerecording some old music and doing some arrangements of Christmas songs to perform in churches come the holiday season. I really like the idea of playing in both churches and bars...what's the saying? Different strokes for different folks?

And then there is the writing. I love to write and some of what I've written is very good - some, not so good. Still, I love doing it and it is worth putting out there. Oddly enough, I find that it is the one thing that is always there for me, whether I'm spending time making sounds or making pictures. Perhaps it is true about language being the thing that ties it all together.

Soooo...it's time for new business cards. Gonna have to make a new design and advertise as an artist. I'll even put my new Mobile Phone Number on that sucker - And I NEVER thought I'd have one of those blasted things, but I suppose if I want to be contacted I need to make it easy.
