It’s been a hearty handful of months. Winter is over, spring is upon us.
First and foremost, I’ve recently completed a mix for the fine folks at Boltfish — properly dubbed “Boltfish Recordings Showcase #4″ — featuring an array of artists from the label coterie (Electricwest, Cheju, Mint, Milieu, Skytree, et al.). To listen or download, visit the Boltfish Bandcamp or Soundcloud. Hope you enjoy.
Second, in case it’s not already apparent, all 65 of the [extremely limited] physical edition of “Midnight Dome” are long gone. Downloading of the album is still available, of course, and will always be, via iTunes, Bandcamp, and many other channels.
Last, it seems in the best interest of things to state that I’m not, at least for the foreseeable future, doing any further recording as Obfusc. For the past year or so, I’ve ruminated off-and-on about hanging things up, perhaps focusing my output in a different musical direction, which only seemed personally doable (in my eyes, I mean) after putting out “Midnight Dome.” To even make a declaration of this ilk pains me, as I’ve called this project ‘home’ since 2005. It’s been an immense learning experience and I’ve met a number of truly incredible people through it.
That said, the future — as far as Obfusc goes — is murky, indeed, but who knows if my whim will reinvigorate with a bit of time. Or maybe I’m just totally over it and want to do something different. Either way, and I’ll do the same. Thanks again for all the support to those who purchased albums, wrote positive things privately or publicly, or just were interested enough to listen in the first place. It’s an amazing and beautiful thing to create something that — even if only by a relative small handful — is witnessed, felt, and reacted to.
