"Paralax Eden" is born... You can keep track of my progress by going to the MySpace site. I'm actually pretty stoked about the direction that it's taking. I'm now in the process of making it into a full surround project. Pass it around for others to enjoy.

it's time to put the nose to the studio grindstone and begin crafting my upcoming projects into the gems that they fully deserve to be. i've never been happier with the sound I'm getting. on to the next production...
the final hi-res surround versions of colabs are done... MusicGiants will be the first to offer it to the public.
for all the cubase & nuendo junkies... this one's for you.
there's a definite change in the air for me... I'm in the process of finishing the latest edition of "the book", and then I'm back into the studio to mix "colabs" in surround for MusicGiants and for several other music distributors.
i've been learning a lot about the upper limits of technology. it goes to show you that there's something to learn everyday. Just got back from hanging out in LA with some of the industry's finest and I feel vindicated about many of my choices in studio gear.
the AES conference in SF was a total blast! listened to my digi/pmc speakers in a large room and was totally blown away. boy do they sound great. I've taken the subwoofer that I had in a 2.1 crossover configuration out of my system (sub will just be for surround LFE)... as it was really screwing with my lower-end. live & learn!
Sooo... The awsome, new disc "colabs" can now be had for the simple song of donating directly to the label.

"Roads" is available as a FREE DOWNLOAD from 51bpm.com Roads was written/produced/ performed by David Miles Huber at Media Designers in Bloomington, Indiana, just after having returned from working in NYC in July of 1979. It's a unique ambient project in that the basic goal was to play instruments in ways that they weren't necessarily intended to be played. This wasn't always possible (i.e. piano, recorder, ect.)... but it's a very cool project that I'm proud of and am finally throwin' it out to the public... for free!

Besides the usual familty $%@, it was a wonderful time!
