INTERVIEW WITH JAMSBIO

There's an interview that I did with Jamsbio Magazine. It answers some of the same questions that I'm emailed about from time to time.

SYNERGY STUDIO UPDATE 2009

Synergy Studio update: I've added Spectrasonics Omnisphere to the soft synth collection, and ironically SampleLogic's "Synergy" software. (Though I don't have any connection to the creation of that software package, Samplelogic now has a license to use the trademark). I've also added an updated version of Apple's Final Cut so I can keep up with the audio for video projects.

UPDATES JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2009

January-February 2009: Though there are some recording and broadcast projects brewing, this has been the first block of time in over a decade when I have been able to explore what will become the next Synergy recordings. I'm not foolish enough to go out on a limb and predict an end date for a release, but some new things are finally happening. I've amassed a lot of new thematic material, and some old, old pieces that I'd like to explore (old, like around 200 years old...). I find that I'm beginning to lean rather heavily on software synthesis instead of the parade of hardware that I've been using for over 35 years. This might be the tipping point for me. I'm also beginning to review the concert video shot (in HD) at last summer's NEARfest. If that looks as good as the few bits I've checked so far, I'm planning on moving ahead with a concert DVD from that show.
