Monthly Offical Update May 2006

This is the first of what I imagine will be many "official" what's goin on in the world of Mannloon updates. It's like Bungie's Weekly update, but less informative and less often.

Music news that happened in April and is coming in May is less exciting than I would've hoped. Phil Shenandoah the mastermind behind Rayonnant moved to Appleton, WI last month, and in doing so now has no room to set up his rig to finish recording vocals for the debut Rayonnant CD. The situation is basically that he's waiting for me to move up there at the end of May to set up a mutual studio, or get a place where he can set up his own.

The untitled Mannloon project hit a wall in early April when I decided to switch to writing lyrics instead of melodies as I had been for a while. Life issues stepped in and derailed my progress as so often happens, but I will be mounting another attack in May.

As I mentioned earlier, We are moving back to Appleton from Milwaukee as soon as possible, we're waiting till Tanis gets out of school, so it'll be early June at the latest. Once there Phil and I will be teaming back up to take over the electro scene and play Tekken. Kat will be starting work in the fall at Renaissance School for the Arts in Appleton, and I will be doing whatever pays bills while both Kat and myself continue work on the IPTV show and Kat's other various web and media projects.

As for the distant future, we do only plan on being in Appleton for a while and then packing up again and moving to L.A., and while this may sound typical to anyone outside our circle of friends, anyone that knows us knows Kat doesn't fuck around. And she wants to go out there.

So perhaps we'll get out of this stink hole that is Milwaukee sooner than later, and perhaps I'll somehow get my digital cable back in time for G4's coverage of E3.
