Updates…Rock Scarlet slowly morphing into Psychanaut

If you’ve seen my entries on Facebook and Twitter, you know that I recently spent a bunch of hours re-working our digital backdrop for tomorrow night’s Rock Scarlet show.  While working on it, I realized that it’s really a Psychanaut backdrop: cool space scenes and psychedelic morphing colors and swirls – so I was pretty […]

Yippee!

Yesterday at the studio I began a post with the words “the whole world holds its breath…”  Although I generally avoid politics on this blog, this incredible opportunity for change seems to warrant comment.

Would You Do it All Again?

We’ve been having writing sessions almost every week and they’ve produced some very cool tunes… none that have been recorded yet (except as very rough live versions). I’m really pleased with them…and looking forward to getting these newer tunes completed and into the sets, and eventually recorded for your downloading. Once the 15 or so […]

What’s our potential?

In writing some of the new lyrics a bit of a philosophical discussion ensued… I suppose you could consider this all ongoing: I’d love your thoughts. Some of the topics… What is our human potential? Can we know it? Is there a limit to it? What about our individual potential? How do we consciously direct […]

videos (and Bernae)

Oops..I’d forgotten to post the news that our video from last year “Crystalline Sunshine” is on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj4AqPe8jGc (update:video taken down and replaced with new version Nov 23, 08 – link has been updated) and also can be found at rockscarlet.com/videos.html.

What would be an ideal society?

A couple weeks back I received an email from someone who had gotten ahold of a CD or one of our rehearsals. Normally I’d be kind of bummed that a raw rehearsal recording was floating around, but this made me smile. He was really digging the tunes and reading the lyrics online… and he said […]

Mixing and Editing and Writing Oh MY!

We’ve been working on a lot of new tunes with James on bass – and it’s just been a rather organic flow, he’s bringing something special to the project. He played with us at Cresfest and altho he’d only rehearsed with us a couple of times at that date, he did a great job.   While […]

A word about creativity…

Today I got an email asking how to develop creativity…but more than that, they wanted to know – is an artist born, or does artistic ability develop? Can a person consciously develop creativity? Wow! It’s a lot to answer, so I thought I’d turn it into a post and maybe we can discuss it a […]

How to Remember Your Dreams

Since it’s common knowledge that I’m very “big” on dreaming, I get a lot of questions about dreams. Seems like every week somebody emails me to ask about remembering dreams, or lucid dreaming – or even to ask me to interpret a dream they’ve had! (nope, can’t do it, sorry!) So I thought I’d outline […]
