Tales from SynthNerdia
Greetings everyone….Been a while…
First off, the pandemic has been hitting me very hard mentally. I know I'm not the only one, but creative output is difficult when you're living day to day in survival mode. But I am trying to soldier on when I can, but not beating myself up when I can't. Someday, this will all be in the past. I hope we all can get there safely, together.
Second (and I should have sent this earlier) I have returned to streaming performances! I am doing so via twitch and you can follow me at https://twitch.tv/noisetheorem. I did a performance a few weeks back which is archived there. It was rough, but it's been a few years since I did one!
Also on the horizon, I will be starting a series of gear talk streams. Being in quarantine has meant doing a lot of video calls and, since my work computer is in my studio, every call starts with "WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THAT STUFF BEHIND YOU?" followed by me finding the setting to blur my background. By then, the cat is out of the bag and people what to know about it. So since I like talking about gear, I though this might be a natural progression for me. I will be doing the first one tomorrow at 2:00 PM CDT. You can find the facebook event page here https://www.facebook.com/events/567044204002668/?active_tab=about.
The final thing I want to let you know about is that I am finishing up work on my next album, to be titled "A Turning Towards Chaos". I am very excited about this one. While the last one was largely about getting it out there so I could release my mind from those tracks, this one represents an album I've wanted to do for a long time. I really think it hits the balance between Ambient and Industrial that I've wanted to hit. It's the most 'NoiseTheorem' thing I've finished.
In closing, I'd just like to tell everyone to stay safe, stay healthy, and we will get through this! It's also OK not to be OK. We can make it together!
