		<description><![CDATA[So what to do when you&#8217;re just not feelin&#8217; it? Creative types tend to view work through an emotional lens. When we&#8217;re blocked, it&#8217;s frustrating and discouraging, and giving up is easily justified. I&#8217;m here to say don&#8217;t give up- don&#8217;t fall victim to a common blunder. One huge difference between a professional and a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How is everyone? How was January? How are those resolutions coming along? Mine are coming along splendidly. How is that, you ask? Well, I&#8217;ll tell you: I didn&#8217;t make any. Except one. No blogging in January. Turns out it was easy enough; January was mainly a planning/dreaming/goal-setting month, and it was a great month at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Christmas-time again, and with Christmas comes wonderful music. We all have our favorites, but let&#8217;s be honest: who hasn&#8217;t sworn off Christmas altogether after hearing a terrible rendition of a once-cherished classic? This year, I&#8217;m trying to sway the music gene pool towards the good and away from the ugly. Truth be told, I [...]]]></description>

Much thanks to Dave at BristowDesign.com for the awesome illustration. Check his work; Dave&#8217;s a great guy who also happens to be my brother! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The new Help-Portrait website is up. Levi Bethune created the video and I did the score in Ableton. It&#8217;s a simple track with a few left turns; it&#8217;s supposed to support the video without being distracting. The track consists of Rhodes, MG-1, live performance, hand-made samples, and lots of Ableton instruments. I documented some of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  The artists&#8217; quest is a struggle for discovery, but not in the obvious sense. Ultimately, the successful artist is not one who has been discovered, but one who has discovered self. After years of wandering, I am finally in the discovery phase. The key for me was (and is) gaining confidence.   Rewind the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Disclaimers, Loose Ends and other Ancillaries&#8230; As I mentioned above, I am passive- sometimes to a fault. I&#8217;m happy to give up the front seat, especially if someone really wants it. That&#8217;s all well and good, but if we continually give up the front seat, we miss out. We are supposed to live generously, [...]]]></description>

The Revolve Tour is a great multi-artist tour; I&#8217;m playing keys for Britt Nicole and I&#8217;m also part of the house band. My [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Imogen Heap&#8217;s new record is out, which is great, but she has also included instrumental versions of each track. I&#8217;ll say it again in case it didn&#8217;t sink in: Instrumental versions of each track. For an extra few dollars, you get 13 amazing glimpses into what she does so well. It&#8217;s safe to say she&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
