November 2019 Update: Always Something

Just a quick thank-you to all you excellent patrons out there! Seriously. Thank you for being part of the Electricloud Recordings family!

Time is absolutely flying by for me, this year. I can't believe it's December.

Updating old material:

As I mentioned in last month's update, I'm reworking some old material with new arrangements to play as a solo set. I've got ~10 more songs to release in that vein. It's been fun going through these tunes that I once loved as weird little chamber pop ensemble things and turning them into something else.

Live Streaming Update:

I bought myself a high-quality web cam (thank you, patrons)! The plan is to do neat things in the new year (ie, patron-only concerts). I'm just doing a bit of armchair research on the best way to make this happen.

Rebrand Update:

I'm a little stuck on this. I was gearing up and all excited to get some simple merch done up (tees & pins to start), but things don't always go as planned. The new logo is done, but I'm just not quite convinced it's what I was looking for. I finally just pulled the plug on it, so I didn't have to spend any more money on it. I want a logo that makes me say, 'Fuck yeah!' Not, 'Yeah. I guess.'

That said, I have a couple sample versions up on electricloud.com. Check them out. Let me know what you think. I suppose I'll have to revisit this in the new year.

Til next time, let me know what you want to see up here, and I'll make it happen.
