what a fabulous year 2011 has been so far! let’s reminisce together… january- the original shot-story four years come, four years go is published. it is a narrative companion to my first album, humans, and foreshadows the imminent release of the “expanded edition“. doesn’t make a blip on the radar. february- the announcement is made [...]

actually, we’ve already done it. utopia was the third album of my pre-yearlongday trilogy. it was recorded between 2002 and 2004, but was never released… until this year! as of now, the artwork is done, and the music is as mastered as it’s going to be. once i decide how many copies i want to [...]

reawakening. returning. rebirth. yearlongday is thawing its winter frost, and preparing for a new musical season in the sun. in fact, i am convinced that this will be our best year so far. not only did i insist that yearlongday would do things differently in 2010, i also promised at least three albums this year. what will we [...]
