MySpacea place for friends

October: (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts) HALUSIN8 and I begin the reformation of Trochlear Recordings, pulling together legal information in the loss of the general partnership between the three of us, as well as the musical archive of all that Mushuto (Jared Newby) had completed in the past few years. Time is divided between friends and business in a rush to complete and finalize as much as possible before leaving the US in November.

September: (Nevada, California, Maryland) The best Burning Man to-date has ended, but many projects were born from the ashes of those fires. I have signed Trochlear with the new Dharma Mix company, which will feature our artists and music along vocalists in mixes designed to inspire thru the use of ancient texts from every culture. At the end of the month, the news reaches me that Mushuto has died.

August: (Texas, Nebraska, Iowa, Nevada) My sister Gaea and I leave the ATX en route for Burning Man, with a stop off in the Midwest to visit with friends, family and, of course, HALUSIN8 herself. I explain the new organization concepts with HALUSIN8, and show her the sites for new promotional schemes. HALUSIN8 goes online with Last.fm at once.

July: (Austin, Texas) With travel plans formalized, and a re-envisioning of Trochlear Recordings agreed between Mushuto and I, I resign my position at Apple and begin packing to leave the ATX. Last minute ADHF tracks are completed and emailed to subscribers, although Mushuto is in dispose at a hospital.

January: (Austin, Texas) With the Karma Krash of '06 leaving no monetary influx for music, my brother invited me into a job with the iTunes Store. I accepted, but continue to focus spare time on my various arts.

1999--I first began sound editing with a single sound shareware editor called GoldWave, using it, primarily, for re-mixing and editing music.

2001--Returned to using Goldwave and, with the addition of a calculator, learned how I could use it to mix together multiple tracks.

2002--I finished my first production level mix, entitled "CD2 - Tears of Ra." That's correct, CD1 wasn't even more than a concept at that time. The cover art/insert, backing, mixing and re-mixing was all my original work.

2003--Chadwick introduces me to Cakewalk Clubtracks, and I begin mixing together "CD1 - Blood of the Moon," and handing out rough drafts as I hitch rides up through the midwest, over to Sedona and back to Austin, collecting new material throughout the trip.

2004--The major rough draft of CD1 is completed early in the year, along with an array of remixes.

2005--The final version of CD1 is sent out and made available online as rough drafts begin to appear for CD3, which is subtitled either "Children of Twilight" or "Serpent of Twilight." The first HF (short for HappyFunpack) is mixed and passed out, a freestyle electronica set with intermixed quotes and pauses. "CD3 - Twilight" is completed and sent out, along with a re-mastered version of CD2, and two more HFs--"Mob God" & "Punk2Ya Motha." After these six, I began working on the ADHF, a mixed set designed to either be burned onto a CD (due to its time-constraint formatting) or an iPod (due to the number of alternative track selecting that will not fit on a CD). Halloween of 2005, Mushuto--KarmaUnsigned "Artist of the Month"--extends an invitation to join Trochlear Recordings Limited, and I accept.

2006--2006 opened with the release of my album "IO Limiters," alongside two other Trochlear albums: "Schema" and "Flex Louder." Karma Download promo'd "Flex Louder" a month later. With their successful release, I left the ATX by thumb on a year-long trip to promote Trochlear Recordings, and see many friends afar. In the fall of 2006, Karma Download disappears from the Internet, and, with it, our source of promotions and sales. During the '06 Burning Man, I open communications with various directors and film producers to use our music in their works, at no monetary cost, in exchange for footage from the films they use our music in. When Mushuto and HALUSIN8 agree, we meet in the ATX to finalize the Trochlear Audio Catalogue disk.
