Division is the new world order.

It was a very productive weekend for me.

I finished off two songs ('Morphological' and 'Atmosherocephalic') and uploaded them, finished off the new CD art for 'Technique' (the current CD in process), replaced old CD art for songs on 'Alpha Silhouette' and 'Glacial Tumult', and finished up the latest newsletter.

It also looks like I'm going to break even at mp3.com for the first time ever. In other words, it looks like I might just barely make $20 in royalties for April which would cover my $20 monthly fee as a premium artist.

Fun stuff.

After 1.5 years of having www.dreamdaze.org up and running and being submitted by hand to yahoo and google and only 1 month of using Submit Wolf Pro, you can actually go type in 'dreamdaze' in google and yahoo, and I will have the top 3 or 4 links.

I have really been enjoying the latest issue of Wired. It covers the 'rise of laptop techno'. The issue includes 4 stories about electronica - all of which are pretty good, and I highly recommend them.

One of the articles talks about a club in NYC where electronic musicians and tinkerers show up every Sunday night and swap ideas, songs, techniques, etc.

If anyone reading this note knows of any gathering like that in the Chicago area, shoot me an email at dreamdaze@dreamdaze.org.

'Shifty' was rejected by raw42.

Reviewers said it's a 'solid foundation' but needs some 'epic leads' to make it stand out.

Back to the drawing board...

This is bizarre. Someone somewhere somehow has discovered my music and has been listening to it heavily.

I don't know who you are, but I hope you enjoy yourself and thanks for listening!
