I started Mantis a long time ago. From what I can gather, it was sometime around 2004, so it was originally a 2ndMOUSE track that appeared on a really early ad hoc album that was kinda thrown together in those really early days when giving away a free track was […]

I’m currently siezing the day by avoiding Covidiots and working on a mountain of tracks. Not exaggerating. If minutes and seconds were feet and inches, my tracks laid end to end would probably equal the height of Everest. I’m working on over 400 simultaneously. Yes….all at the same time.  To […]

The Database

It’s taken me months, but I’ve finally catalogued all the tracks I’m currently working on. I should have done this from the start because it was a ton of work, but, if there’s a wrong way of doing things, you can be sure I’ll usually try that first =P Up […]

I thought I was being really smart when I commented to Mrs. Carbinax that 2020 vision was the perfect analogy for how I felt musically, as we head into the year 2020, until She brutally informed me it wasn’t a new analogy and everyone was using it. It seems strange […]
