FALLING AWAY ALMOST OUT OF STOCK
05.01.06
Wow, I just realized that I have only 5 copies of my full-length "Falling Away" (Zod) available. Grab a copy now in the shop because I'm not sure when I'll be getting another run!

Three new shows have been added to the live section - Madison and Milwaukee. I haven't played a proper show since last November so expect a ton of new material and aggressiveness ;)

EVERYONE LOVES THEIR MAMA (AWARDS)
03.20.06
This past weekend I was awarded not one, but two awards at the Madison Area Music Awards Show for Best Electronic Album and Best Electronic Artist! I want to thank everyone who voted for little old me...these things are what keep me going :)
Lurve to everybody!

NEW WEBSITE LAUNCH, NEW RELEASES
03.07.06
Drum roll....welcome to the new site! Inside you'll find tons of good things including secret pong, robots, samples and more. This is my first site in all CSS and Flash so if anything looks super messed up, drop me a note in the new comment area, or just a hello, story, whatever. I'll be adding new tidbits in the near future, so check back often kids!

On to what's going on with moi. First off, be sure to check out the label I co-run at belladonnarecords.com. We feature lovely electronic, hip hop, glitch, 8 bit and more. I recently redid the site design and we are working on releasing our first physical release which is a compilation. More chatter on that later.

Speaking of comps, you'll find a Samarah track on the new Hand Stitched Heart Compilation featuring Accelera Deck, Satellite Grooves, and more here. Here at home I've been nominated for the Madison Area Music Awards "Best Electronic Album" and also be presenting that night.

So where are the new tracks you ask? I recently replaced my laptop and it took awhile geekin' out transferring files, installing programs,etc. so I had some downtime. I've also been busy working on some album artwork over at lovely Audiobulb Records.

Believe it or not, there's more, but I'll save it for later as I need to get some more coffee.
