This summer comes up a little past three years since I’ve started the SOFT RIOT project — a production that is usually executed in spastic bursts as a solo thing that I did on the side to playing in other bands. The first burst was spring of 2006 when I, under the influence of a few “things”, wrote about five or six tracks in succession to the to that inspiration of influence. A few other minor sessions occurred in the fall of that year. These endeavors were released as a CD-R. There was a gap — my band at the time, PRIMES, was busy writing, recording, and touring. I then moved to the UK and got massively disoriented for a while and started writing a few songs and then sat on them, not sure where it was all going. It all circled up in the spring of this year after relistening to the things I recorded in 2006 and saying; “Yes, let’s keep on that tangent — I think we got something going on there.”

Currently I’ve been rounding out a few new tracks to complement the older tracks in one entity — a deadly ball of sound quietly rolling down a hill. If all the “ducks line up in a row” this should see some sort of public release before this year is out. But a lot of my time has been spent lately writing material for a new band/project called Savage Furs (more info coming soon — it’s real good…).

So that’s the music end of things. I also do other things, like write and make ill-advised music mixes and playlists on trivial subject matter. This site houses those activities as well and there’s activity buzzing around in those parts of the site. Sort of an umbrella site for a few things I do really. Bon appetit (?).
