The New Album Project (AKA: the
Album 2.0 Project):
My new album project is now in progress. Along with newly composed
songs, I'm also reaching back into my youth for a song or two, or
more, that I wrote circa my twenties and/or thirties. I'll also
include my single "Backward in Time," that released July
4, 2025 and is available from the on-line digital sellers and streamers.
It'll probably be remixed and remastered for the album. The release
date for the album is probably sometime in 2027.
Musical Collaboration Projects:
My music partner from my youth, Rich Hisey, and I have reunited to
resurrect much of the music we created in the late 1970s and early
1980s. There are a few songs we wrote together that we want to
revive, refurbish and record. Plus there are solo compositions by
both of us that are worth rising from the ashes. This collaboration
really has three parts:
- the joint project where we do our own version of
Donald Fagen & Walter Becker,
or of Hall & Oates
- a Rich Hisey project, where I'll ‐‐ God help
him ‐‐ produce and lend my horribly limited
"expertise" as a sound engineer, and I'll be a side
musician, probably mostly or solely on bass
- Rich will drum on many of the songs on my
Album 2.0,
and may play some guitar and keyboards, too.
There's a chance that some of the solo compositions from back last
millennium will end up as part of the joint project. I can think of
at least one by me that I think I want there, and I have some
thoughts about a song or two of Rich's.
Heart Walks Album Project:
I hope this is the actual next album release. Heart Walks is
a concept album I recorded in the mid- 1980s. It consists of much
electronic, experimental, and new-age type music. I'll be
mixing and
mastering
shortly. I'll also add a bass line to one song, and may add some
instrumentation to other songs, as well. A big hurdle is a serious
amount of tape noise on the four-track masters, but there is a
solution in the works. If the tape noise problem is successfully
dealt with, Heart Walks should release sometime in 2026,
probably late in the year.
Ambient Music Album Project:
There is also an ambient-sound music album, which was recorded in
2014 for use as
preshow music
for the Dayton Playhouse
production of
George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead™ Live,
and I have a goal to also release this in 2026. This one was remastered
for use as
production music
in the Wednesday's Child
mounting, which ran at The Guild
in November of 2023. However, I'll be remastering it again.

I currently am working, on and off, on drafts of my
two-act play,
which I've been writing for a while. Draft 5g was submitted to a
new play festival, but was not selected as a finalist. More
submissions will happen. I am now working on draft 7.
There's also my novel manuscript, started about twenty years back,
which has had a finished draft for almost as long. It's in the same
universe as the play mentioned above, but takes place earlier. I
haven't actively worked on the novel in years, barely at all since
I came back to theatre. I am trying to gear myself up to go back in
for some revision
and polishing. I have no clue when that will happen, but the agenda
item is back there, lurking, waiting....
