Upcoming Album

I am working on the the new album right now, and it is a collection of all the best songs I’ve written throughout the years; a sort of retrospective.

In many ways, it is for me to be able to close a chapter on some work I feel is unfinished, and also an opportunity to re-imagine the works I consider successes.

In addition to remixes, there will be some songs in their original forms, along with some brand new songs.

My intention is to make it a coherent album, not necessarily a “best-of” compilation. I want it to be as good as if it was my debut album.

I think you all will enjoy it, and I’m excited to see the songs developing!

Until next time,
~Jon

First Tumblr post.

I often muse on how simultaneously difficult and easy it is to connect with others through electronic methods.

As an artist, my art means very little without connecting with someone else. Of course, the art and music I create has meaning to me, but usually only during the process of creation. After that, my instinct is to send them out into the world, for others to find meaning.

Electronic communication means I can share my art with the world, but means there is a lack of balance between those who experience my art in person and those who experience it electronically. I’m still not sure what that balance should be, but I’m sure I’ll find it someday.
