MySpace a place for friends

Things are changing around here. Up to this point, I have been doing mostly electro-ambient shows either by myself or accompanied by Jim Gully ..boards. On 2/4/09 I started the recording my next cd, which has a working title of "Soaring Back To Earth". This will be a collection of vocal tunes which say the kind of things that I have to say regarding any number of topics. In addition to Jim working with me on this, allow me to introduce you to some of the other musicians who have been involved with the recording to date:

Steve Vining - engineer and production

Christ Andronis - bass

Len Szymanski - drums & percussion

Eric Bryant - vocals

This is a work in progress and I expect that the list of people helping to bring this music to life will expand. Will keep y'all posted....

FYI...this doesn't signal the end of the electro ambient shows. Just creating another option. Jim and I have had too much fun doing that stuff to let go of it.....

Gravitas be damned....the picture & caption below made me laugh....

DOG: "Hey Kurt. You spelled "consensual" wrong!"

CAT: "Oh yeah? BFD. I have more talent in my left dewclaw than you'll ever have. Now stay still, dammit......."

Here's a short review by Nic C over at Alt Music Yes:

"You too can do this at home! Boring endless self indulgent doodling with absolutely no path in the music leading to nowhere. Get a band. Otherwise have a nice day. "

Keep those cards and letters coming Nic!

What does it sound like? You tell me.........For anyone that's interested in hearing a nice cross section of my new cd "Outer Worlds" (on Umbrello Records), I just found this Amazon link that has samples of the tracks....and while they are 30 second bytes, they seem to convey the flavor of the cd pretty well:
