My website, eyescastdown.com, has a brand new look and is mobile-friendly at last!

I’m loving the new scenic photography on the home page, and Wade Chandler did a great job of “just shooting me” for the Press page.

I felt the need to update my music description. “Ambient-Atmospheric” is fine as far as it goes but, for me, that’s not so far any more. In particular, the implication of “Ambient” – that the music is as readily ignored as listened to – just doesn’t work me for any more. The music that’s playing me has always demanded attention, though an atmospheric element is always present.

So the term “Ethereal” covers that nicely, and “Progressive” was an inevitable choice, given the importance of Progressive rock and fusion music in my history, and my love of jazzy, altered chords, modes and odd time signatures. So… “Ethereal, Progressive Soundscapes” it is.

The Gatherings and Star’s End concerts are coming up, and I’ll have much to report afterwards.

In other great news, the CDs of The White Island have arrived. Release day is October 1. The premiere on SomaFM’s DroneZone is Oct. 3 at Noon, Pacific time.
