icing the topiary penguin.

it's early in the morning.
i cannot sleep.
i've got energy that needs to escape, but i feel myself creeping into a depression ...
though generally fall brings the end of my relationships for the year, this year i'm feeling anxious about music. i was on a really nice high (manic) for the past couple weeks, and was working many hours a day on setting up the dyed emotions promotion, websites, refining the label & the business structure for the whole thing ...
a few times i got a little off track.

channeled the energy into the arnpoe page ...

had spent the past couple weeks on dE and lost key records ...
now it's my time ...

the new look is going to be art-nouveau ... at least a little.
it is the direction the solo album will take ... is taking ...
a way to divert some of the ghosts that are haunting me away from dE3 (don't want to stink up that album with my own weird vibes) ...

for years the FKK project was my outlet for 'thinking outside the box' ...
that's how Tek3 got 'Lets Get Lizzie High', how dE got 'Simply Saying', 'Wilderness Tomb', and 'Radio Static' ... not that any of those works were particularly bizarre (actually, they were all quite plain & ordinary) ...
over time, i've turned into a pop-monster ...
nothing against pop music, but i found myself writing with particular goals in mind ... a far cry from the old material (where i'd often hit 'record' and start playing and mumbling until something started to form) ...

so this new album is sort of an in-between point ...
there are definitely some goals ... i've got some direction ...
but i'm not aiming to sell it as much as i'm aiming to get some of this ... (?) ... out of my head.

aimless ... words ... like this ...
