Springing Forward
Hmmmm…not the best turnout I’ve had for a gig. And yet, the NOHO Poetry Spectacular turned out to be worth my while. Along with my poetry read, I acted in a one act play with Writer/Director/Actor Radomir Luza. It all went well. I don’t have much else to say about that right now. The music feature by James Piquinot absolutely rocked. He could have performed for another half hour easily and kept my attention. He doesn’t sound like any other artist in particular, but I could see him on a bill with Radiohead or a band like that.
And that, my friends is my last gig for the next few months. My heart right now is focused on writing my book. I finally have a hold on the short story I’m writing for it to accompany all the poetry and I want to at least knock out the first draft of that story by the end of March. With that in mind, there isn’t much time to put together the live show I want.
My upcoming CD is also taking form. I have finally decided on the foundation of the sound: Electonica. With that, I can infuse all of my Hip Hop ideas, guitar and piano solos, intense drum and percussion work and long form song construction ideas without jumping too far off the map. I can’t do that if Hip Hop is the foundation, so that is that.
