Don't worry -- I'm still not dead yet. I've been hard at work as much as I can and making some very good progress lately on this song I'm recording right now. It's very complicated and layered but the time put into it will pay off in the end. I'm very excited about this song and can't wait to hear what it will sound like when it's done. My body has been cooperating more or less lately so hopefully the near future will continue to be as productive. Also, not long ago I bought a new guitar. It's a Yamaha Pacifica and it is so perfect for my hands it's crazy! And, of course, the sound is awesome as I put a tremendous ESP Ltd. humbucker pickup in it at the bridge. I could not be happier with it. Stay the course and keep practicing!! -Adam September 28, 2007It's about time -- believe me, no one knows this better than me. My illness has worsened in recent months and I've been trying really hard to deal with it. My energy level is so low and walking is moredifficult than ever. It's hell not being able to play as much as I want to. The muscle spasticity has started to affect my arms, hands, and fingers too. I can still play, but it's certainly harder than it used to be. As long as I can play -- I will. I will still keep moving forward with my second album. I will not let this or anything else stop me. I 'll attempt to update again in the near future when guitar playing permits. -Adam September 20, 2006It's been a while, I know. But I'm still alive and playing. The music for album number two is progressing little by little. I've had some health issues with my eyes in recent times that I hope are over with now. With the weather getting colder now, I'm thinking that the music creation process will pick up speed somewhat, as with the lack of heat in the changing of the season, I will have more energy theoretically. With where I'm at now with the music, I must say that I like what the second album is shaping up to be. On the metal side of things, I think it's going to be heavier this time around. The rhythm guitar will also be more complex. There's one track in particular that I'm working on right now which hits pretty hard that I know many will be glad to hear. And, of course, the classical aspect will be in full force as well when this album is completed. I'm in the beginning stages now, but when it's done, all will understand why it took a while. I'm dedicated and I won't settle now or ever. I'm in it for the music ad infinitum. -Adam April 16, 2006What a long strange trip it's been since my debut album was released in 2004! I give you my word that I will do my utmost to post updates here on the homepage far more frequently from now on as I am now in a position to do so. Since the first album's release, life has been interesting. I took some time off after the album's completion. Sales have definitely been greater than expected and the world-wide attention has been very nice indeed. I have to thank all my fans and supporters everywhere. Keep practicing! Unfortunately, I have had some health problems since then, but I'm doing alright at the present time. I have begun the intertwining composing/recording process for album #2. It's gone well thus far and, with luck, I'm hoping to have it out in a year or so. I'm aiming even higher for this one than the first. So it should be tremendous when completed. That's all for now. I'll try to update you all again as things procede. -Adam |
