Hey guys! I'm suuuuper curious to see what you think of this vid. Think it was a cool idea in theory? Enough for me to try something like this again?
Maybe in cooler weather it could work.
I hope you enjoy!
I'll be doing Patreon exclusive live streams starting this month! And monthly g...

Okie dokie. Let me explain.
Years ago... centuries ago? When All of the Above was released, we had a CD Release party at a super cool venue in Monterrey. My whole family was there, along with a lot of our friends.
Having very little experience playing live, it was suuuuper comforting t...

I again find myself posting the extra song and extra vid rewards at the very end of the month. It's no longer July in certain parts of the world. haha! I'm sorry! I will make sure to try to post these mid-month from now on.
The Skyrim album is in process of getting approved for digital distr...

Hey guuuuys!
I recently had a chance to sing on the main menu music for a VR game called Lone Echo, scored by composer Jason Graves.
Jason has written music for games like Dead Space, Until Dawn, and more. I got a chance to work with him recording some vocals for the Far Cry Primal las...

Hey, guys!
I started working on Ragnar the Red today! Made a video to tell you a bit about it and about the Skyrim album.
Don't know why I'm so set on releasing this album in July. Has that ever happened to you with your own projects? When you've been sitting on them for a while and th...

In April of 2013, I tried recording a cover of Will the Circle Be Unbroken. The way I was doing things back then is I sat down to record a full take of the song from start to finish. Filming while simultaneously recording the audio of the live performance in Logic.
Once I had the main take, ...

Finallyyyyy! Hey, guys! :D
I posted a video on my main YouTube channel today! It's an original song I started writing years ago, intended to be a Skyrim bard song tribute. I was attending physical therapy for my back and knee at the time, and it was boring. So, I printed out almost a whole w...

Hey guys!
I managed to [clumsily] film a bit of the process of mounting the last of the acoustic panels in the studio! A couple of you had asked how it works, so I hope this can show you. :)
I ran the sound analysis test again and the reverb in the room did go down a bit more! Wooo! Here's t...

Hey guys! Had a great time this weekend hanging the acoustic treatment in the new studio and making some tests. Here's a check-in/audio test!
And now... WE CAN GET BACK TO WORK!!!!
I'll keep you posted on the other stuff still pending. There's the window treatment, I need to replace the door...

Hey, guys!
Can somebody please email Sunday and tell it not to end? Hahaha! I need one more day this weekend. It went by so fast!
Here's May's extra video. An experiment with a new camera. :)
I wanted to test the camera's mic. It's ok, but for next time, I'll be sure to set up a better...

Hey guys!
This is the color of the studio walls! I was wrong, I had mentioned previously they seemed more blueish, but no. It's purple. Hehe! It's a bit of a cooler purple than in the previous room, and I dig it. I feel it works as a nice color as a background for vids.
Painting was fi...

I wrote this month's Patreon letter rewards today, and all the while, I wondered what I can do to improve this experience and the pledge rewards. Musical updates will be more frequent once the studio is done in 10 days or so. But what can I do to tie this whole experience together for everyone? Any ...

Hey guys! Hope you're having a sweet Sunday. I am sitting outside with Thor and Omi and I just recorded this song. Let me know what you think of this video "format". It was actually so nice to record here. Makes everything feel more natural.
Maybe next time, Thor can make it into the video. Today,...

I enjoyed making a vlog at the end of February about something important that I realized during the month... I think I will continue this tradition. :)

To answer John's question. :) If you guys have any other questions for me that I could answer in a Q&A video, or individual videos like this, please let me know! You can leave them in the comments, via a private message, whatever you prefer!
Thank you!

Yaaaay! All the parts of the studio are starting to arrive. These are the decorative acoustic panels that I will hang on walls once we do the "room within a room" treatment. :D Wooo! I had to take them all out of their boxes and leave them outside because THEY STINK.
I had read some comments ...
I bought a pool for Thor. It turned out to be a bit bigger than I thought. hahaha! :D

I was in doubt whether to share this video or not. I'm not sure if it qualifies as interesting... hahaha! In the end, I decided to go ahead and post it. After all, it's part of the process, I guess, of building the new studio. I won't look over your shoulder to make sure you watch the whole thing. I...

This is another video I'm glad I got to make before moving. It's interesting how as time went by, I kept building this room little by little. It wasn't until I had to pack everything up that I realized just how much I had customized this space and how much I loved it.
Most of my recent thoug...

Although the production value is low, while editing this video a few minutes ago, I realized how happy I am that I captured this moment. When I left for college, my best friends sang this song for me. When I graduated and moved again, this song was present in my mind. And any other major relocation ...
