Happy  New Year!  It’s been awhile!

Work has gone underway on my debut album. Me and my Mike have been busy choosing, rewriting, and generally perfecting my songs.
We went to get the drums recorded at Wine Cellar Music Studios and had them played by the owner/resident drummer extraordinaire Ryan Stewart which was a great experience.
Right now I’m laying down the bass, guitar, synths, and sampled parts which is going to take a while considering we have 16 songs on the short list. Each one striving to be epic in production as well as in numbers of instruments and tracks.
I have the first finished track finished. It’s called “Like A Shooting Star” and features Mary-Lee Neron on the vocals.
This is not the album version (which will be darker sounding) but is more of a “pop” mix we did for the Radiostar national songwriting contest. Have a listen and see what you think!

In other news, in December I finished scoring the short film “The Light Of Family Burnam” which premiered at the Whistler Film Festival.
This is a touching piece of art and I recommend that everyone see it. The film was directed and written by Marshall Axani and produced by Doug Kerr both at Awkward Moment Productions. The script for this film which won the Motion Picture Production Industry Association Short Film Award tells the story of a boy planning his own funeral while his father tries to cope.
