We did it. We made a full length "story album" that clocks in at 57 minutes or so. The story is called The Beginning Of The Endless Search For Oblivion and I'm really proud of it. It was NOT easy to make. I think part of the pressure was that it had a format and structure throughout that hour long period that needed fierce attention or run the risk of being a weak link in a nice looking chain. Now in the making of this album, or maybe even before, it dawned on me how dead the album format itself seems and how individual works seem much more practical for many reasons in the current day. This is convenient as the next record I was planning was consisting of a bunch of songs anyway. Now, instead of pressuring myself, locked into the need to put 12+ songs together, I can just release all sorts of different things periodically as they get finished. I never run out of ideas and at this point couldn't imagine stopping recording and creating...There is now enough material in the bucket to play a 2 hour + rock show of all original music. By the time a few new songs are recorded, some songs would have to be dropped in order to make it in time. Anyway, there's been no urgency in booking the band so I'm still sorting out who will play what in a live scenario and will continue to rehearse with whoever's around....on Wednesday nights. Have been offered some cool playing opportunities where I can do original music only, which is my deal. More on that to come. It will be original Carribean flavored music played on classical guitar. Another project I have planned includes mainly drumming and singing. By the way, don't get it twisted, there will be more albums that I will do, but while the state of music consumption is in such flux, best to stay loose, certainly as a drummer! Leibowitz will be featured in next month's Rocktologist with an interview Tony and I did last week and some other stuff. Aside from that, the record will be played in its entirety, by a soon to be named DJ at a soon to be announced time. The album will be available in a week or so and will be available at www.leibowitz.bandcamp.com . You can check out Guitar For Money, our 1st LP while you're there.
