It's HERE!

Starlight & Darkness
the New Album from
STUART DUMMIT
is now Available!

Well folks! It's done. The album is up on the internet and ready for download. It is available in its entirety at three of the most popular internet music sources: iTunes, eMusic and Rhapsody. And you can download some of the individual tracks from those locations or from my MySpace site.

I want to thank two people specifically for their help in getting this thing off the ground - Jeff Wheeler for his technical and spiritual support, and Eric Letourneau for his encouragement. Couldn't have done it without either of them!

Most of this album was recorded in about a three week period on a Macintosh laptop computer in my apartment in Columbia, Missouri. One track, the long "Fluid Metal" was actually recorded way back in the early 1990s on a Fostex 4 track cassette machine in my apartment in San Francisco. Jeff Wheeler assisted in cleaning up the sound a bit and encouraged me to include it. An edited version of this piece was on my previous album Ecce Homo, which will be re-released later this year.

I hope you folks out in the universe of data packets and electronic impulses will help me out and pay for a download or two. It will go a long way towards getting me out from behind this desk, out of this tie and into my jeans with a guitar in my hands - the way I'm supposed to be!
