My new record, An Albatross and a Half, can now be streamed and purchased here: brentarnold.bandcamp.com. Choose from a wide variety of download formats, or even get a physical CD if you want to get retro. Price starts at $8 for a download. You can pay more if you like, I’m not stopping you!
Bandcamp is a great service… they are some of the good guys. Highly recommended for any musician.
Meanwhile, i’m at work on a couple film projects, and rehearsing with dj/rupture’s Nettle for shows in Sweden and elsewhere.

ok, trying to get caught up. my new CD finally came back from the printer, and i got my first copies just before my 6/26 show with the Moools in Tokyo. That was a great one, with a packed house and so many old friends showed up as well. After my solo set, i sat in with the band, reprising the string arrangements i did for their new record Weather Sketch Modfied (as best i could without the help of 15 violins).
Then to Kyoto for a lovely intimate show with members of Soft, and then back out to the countryside to prepare for the Water & Light Project show. our days were spent rehearsing with all the various musicians, tweaking music to match video and vice-versa, and lots of bathing in hot springs in the shadow of Mt. Daisen. also killing bugs. avoid these:
むかで！
there was an attempt to stream the event here… didn’t seem to work too well but there are a few clips. i’ll put up my own soon.
tomorrow it’s off to Seattle for a friend’s wedding, and a show with the amazing John Atkins (764-HERO, Magic Magicians) on 7/13.
