“All Around Us” Officially Released!

Posted May 18th, 2009 by Bloompocket
All Around Us is available May 18 Wow folks, after many long months of composing, producing, and composing, my new track “All Around Us” is officially available for sale as of May 18 at the following online retailers!


As I’ve mentioned before, this music really took a lot of blood and sweat to put together, but thankfully no tears. More than any music I’ve ever produced before, the music on this EP just seemed to flow out of me with very little strain, just a lot of “footwork” in getting everything together. In a nutshell, this process was a prototype for how I’d like music making to happen for me as I move forward. Releasing this track and all of the mixes has been a process of over a year in the making, so I really do hope that everyone of you enjoys it. Either way, I’d love to get as much feedback on this as possible, so please keep those emails and comments coming my way!

To be more precise, it’s actually a song I wrote with my Monkey Bars partner in crime, Gabriel D Vine as well as Alex Lang, and was the reason we were offered a deal with Subliminal Records in 2001. Read more »

My Discography Added to Website

Posted November 2nd, 2008 by Bloompocket
I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve done some research and put together a discography of all the recordings I’ve appeared on either as a producer or as a sideman. Noticeably missing from the list at the time of this posting are any recordings made under the name “Bloompocket,” but of course, that will be changing soon (you’ll be the first to know!).

My First Record Deal as Bloompocket!

Posted June 29th, 2008 by Bloompocket
Whew! A month and a half ’s absence from my beloved little bloggie here, but there’s been a lot of change for the absolutely positive in my life going on lately, so the blog fell by the wayside for a moment.

So this is actually old news, but I did want to let everyone know that my first track as Bloompocket, called “I’ll Show You” has been signed to a great label out of Milan called Gotta Keep Faith Records! The track is slated to come out some time before 2009 with some remixes to boot. Not sure who’s going to be doing the remixes, but I’m sure that it’ll all be great. Read more »
