Well, it’s done. Yesterday I listened through the latest test copy of the remastered Sounds Like Music CD, and I decided to call it final. Yes, I could always keep tweaking it, but at some point I have to overcome my obsessive tendencies and let it go. There’s an extraordinarily small market for this CD — probably just a subset of the handful of people who owned the original release — but that’s not the point. The point was for me to finally be satisfied with the mixes and mastering of the songs on that album, so I can move on.
The real significance here is not the availability of the remastered SLM — it is rather that I have finally finished remastering, remixing, and repackaging all of my old music. This project has occupied one of my front burners, on and off, for just over seven years, far longer than I expected it to take; I started planning it just after I finished Unqualified.
So it is finally time to put up or shut up. Do I have any new music in me? Or, having put all the old stuff in order, am I done with this musical hobby? Stay tuned to find out the answer, just as soon as I do.

I’m willing to bet that you do have new music in you, because music comes from life, and you’ve done a lot of living in the past seven years. But whether there is time for writing will be the real question. Why not take a break for awhile? In any case, we are delighted that your long project is finished, and look forward to hearing the results.
