The New Album Project:
In mid-December, 2024, I began work on an album project that
will consist of mostly brand new compositions. The project was
originally called
"The 2025 Music Adventure";
but since it has spilled over into 2026 it's now
"The 25/26 Music Adventure."
I'm also pulling in a few instrumentals I composed and recorded
over the last couple years for theatre productions at
Dayton Theatre Guild,
and I'm also reaching back into my youth for a song or two, or more,
that I wrote circa my twenties and/or thirties. The working title
for this album project was "The 2025 Music Adventure,"
because, as I stated in late 2024, having "project" and
"2025" in the same phrase is ugly and unpalatable to me,
and it just seemed logical when I updated the title to stick with
that philosophy.
"Backward in Time," the first single from the project
released July 4, 2025 and is available from the on-line digital
sellers and streamers.

Two collections of music that have been in the can for a while are
on the docket for mastering.
- one is a double album with much electronic, experimental,
and new-age type music on it, which I recorded in the mid 1980s.
I'll also add a bass line to one song, and may add some
instrumentation to other songs, as well.
- the other is ambient-sound music, which was recorded in
2016 for use as
preshow music
for the Dayton Playhouse
production of
George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead™ Live.
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 likely revisit the remastering
before I decide about releasing the collection.

release, Virtually Approximate Subterfuge, which came out in
November of 2022.

Though I'm being generously credited, and ridiculously placed in
First Chair, as a co-sound designer
for the Guild's
production of
Dial M for Murder,
I'm better designated as a consultant whose done some hardware
engineering. The architect of the
sound design
is the director,
David Shough. But I'm am more familiar with the DTG sound system,
so I brought that knowledge in.
The show runs weekends through October 26.

I will be designing the sound for the next Guild production,
Light Sensitive,
which runs this coming December 5-14.
I may also be the sound designer for the last Guild show of the
season,
The Beacon, by
Nancy Harris,
which shows May 22-Jun 7, 2026.

Right now, I am also slated to be the
producer
for the Guild mounting of The Beacon.

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....
