The original works of art for each song from the Light and Dark EP by Maskarade
New art in the works #2
To my brothers and sisters, friends and listeners: As some of you may know, Ive been brainstorming and developing a solo project for about a year. As promised, today is the day I will publicly start this new chapter in my life. The project is called MASKARADE [an alternate spelling of masquerade, pronounced the same]. It’s exciting, it’s fun, and it represents me and all my interests. This project is about music and art, and a free flowing state of mind. As I’ve said before, Im floating down this river of creativity, making music I love, going wherever it takes me.

With that said, the first thing Im presenting is a remix I did for a current contest put on by Earmilk / Warner Bros for a new and awesome, quickly-rising female artist named Kimbra. The original song is called “Settle Down”, and the contest starts today! Initially I had planned on presenting my original material first, but when I started working on this remix a couple days ago, I fell in love with it, and my gut told me to start here. Im excited with the way it turned out, Ive always been a huge fan of female vocalists, and she is such a great singer.

Take this remix with a grain of salt, as there are no limitations with MASKARADE. For those of you wanting to hear my voice, you can be sure that I am definitely incorporating my vocals into most of the originals that I produce, and those originals are just around the corner!
Lastly, every Monday will be #MaskaradeMondays - I will be sharing something at the beginning of each week whether it be a set of art pieces I’ve created, a new song, live chats….who knows. So, look forward to that each Monday, and follow me on Twitter ( http://www.twitter.com/IAMMASKARADE ) to find out what’s coming each week!
Thanks to everybody that has supported me over the span of this 10+ year journey, there is no end in sight. Lets make this something special!

“MUSIC AND ART ‘TIL DEATH DO US PART”
The natural death of man is art, art is all around.
All that we do shall be considered art.
All that we don’t do is art…to have forgotten is art.
Art breathes and feeds, art is a beast.
Art is the good, that fights the evil powerfully.
Art is a whisper, and the singing of a harmony.
Art is harmonious, it speaks through the wind.
Through our mind, body, and universe…this monster lives.
