New Short Film:
"The Prominent Underfront Nearaway"
(the last film/visual viewing until the album the globe as a graph is due out in late 2013.)
This is a new short film from the globe as a graph album sessions and the last film I will show until the album is officially out in possibly in late 2013.I would like to thank everyone who has been following along with the creating process of the record.The idea in sharing the process of creating was to get some of you thinking,examining, and collecting data in your brains before the album showed up in its completed form so you can see how things take shape. Also to plant some seeds in your brains of course :) So thanks for being attentive I truly appreciate your time and focus. However, the first thing I will release from these creating/idea sessions will be the fiction book which is coming out in spring, so stay tuned for another official announcement for that as well. But for now I would like to shift your focus to the new film "The Prominent Underfront Nearway". Thank you all so much again for following and thank you for taking a closer look at out our world and lives with me. I hope you all stick around to see the project in its final form.
*You can watch the new film right here on the front page or click the picture to go to the project page to view it.*

While in the process of creating the next full length album some of the ideas for the album gave me another idea for a book. So I wrote a short literature/ fiction book. The book is titled "The Nebulous Switch And The Floating,Standing Man" a graph fiction story. The book also has specially composed music that goes with the story and theme of the book.There will also be something else very special that comes with the book which all will be announced soon.
