Three years…


May 30th, 2026 | Topic: pondering, umbra scryer | Author: | no responses |


Three years ago, I posted an announcement that new music was forthcoming. I guess it wasn’t entirely untrue. I have breathed some life into this little eccentric project of mine. Four tracks are finished, two more to go and I will have a little something to share. The collection should be posted this summer (2026).

Over these three years I have continued to play and reconfigure. My equipment has expanded a little and I have found new ways to experiment. I plan to release a simple video walking through what I used and how I recorded the tracks for this upcoming song collection as well to serve as a sort of personal log on my current process.

More to come by July, 2026.

Music Project Back Burner


October 18th, 2020 | Topic: pondering | Author: | no responses |


My Umbra Scryer project still means a lot to me, but it has had to take a back seat to my grad school work lately. I will keep this site alive, and plan to do some free-flow recordings to share as time goes on.

I have two of these blogs that I am maintaining. One for my music (this one) and one that is geared more toward my profession and philosophical pursuits (zazenlibrarian.com). I expect neither to get much attention. These are more like a resource to journal experiences and record my work in various areas.

I also suffered a major data loss recently. I am still recovering from that, but suffice it to say that no matter how well this might go I have lost some Ardour project files. A lesson in impermanence, no?
