For your consideration:

According to atomic theory, matter is made up of 99.9 percent space, and 0.1 percent matter. Therefore, what gives matter its 'substance' if you will is the energy bonds that connect the protons, neutrons, electrons, atoms, molicules together into the reality I perceive daily. Therefore:

Reality can be considered as the perception of the interconnection of energy. Energy flows, changes shapes and form, is shared from one localization to another, and connects people, places, and even objects. We, as people, share this connection in the form of life, our unique energy state that prompts us to resist entropy.

Sometimes, when the moment finds me, I feel just a touch of that connection, and I smile.

Software Mixes
Ihave been fooling around with mixing some more mainstream music types using some mixing software. I figured I'd put up the results in case people want a groovy mix of an album they like. These were mixed in software and not mixed live, as are my other mixes.

Rednex Mix - Rednex Mix - Rednex are kinda country techno hailing from Sweden (I think)
boxstr.com/files/215586...nex%20Mix.mp3

Latrama Mix - Latrama Mix - Right Click and Save-As Here! Latrama is a mellow drum and bass sounding group that a Burning Man friend turned me on to. Chip, this one's for you!
boxstr.com/files/215457...ama%20Mix.mp3

Fischerspooner Mix - Fischerspooner Mix - Right Click and Save-As Here! Fischerspooner has at least one or two songs you've heard on the radio somewhere. They sound a teeny bit like portishead, but with different vocals. Definitely electronica.

Previously Released Mixes:
Panthalassa Vtec
For this mix, I really focused on bringing sounds together in a way that provided exciting transitions between tracks, while mixing in early to keep the track's sounds fresh, and selecting tracks that build off of eachothers sound. I mixed/recorded this live at my home studio on 3 pioneer CDJ's, a pioneer mixer, and a desktop CPU. This mix was recorded live. It's available at:

Nice Chassis W/ Bucket Seats
Nice Chassis is a sweet Jazzy House mix I put together last weekend.

Of course I didnt find him last night to give it to him, but that's another story. I mixed in a little disco sounding house for variety. Its available at:

The 5th Conundrum
My first demo mix, I recorded this from records, and two of the tracks were from a CDJ. Lots of melodic trance here, the mood takes a dip in the middle, giving this mix some hefty character. My first recorded mix, after 5 months of practice.

New Demo Mix

I have created my new demo. Its a DJ set, kinda between genre lines, but its a little house, a little techno, a little trance. I think it kicks ass. Most people who hear it think it rocks. Download and decide for yourself! Just click the link and find the download button.

rain!

I woke up today and it was raining. for some reason rain makes me want to go to the gym and work out and swim in the lap pool. go figure.

Makes it harder to go on hikes tho.

Change is a comin'

I switched jobs a year ago so that I could work with a boss that I liked, got support from, and that sort of stuff.

Well, he is quitting next week, and moving to Montana.

Its taken a couple of days, but now that i'm used to it, I'm ok with it. I figure, anywhere else where your boss leaves creates a promotion opportunity. A chance to manage more, be in charge more, advance your career. Well, this is no different. Sure, I lose guidance and support, but I'm ready to take on some of his old responsibilities. We'll see how this one shakes out. My next step is to negotiate the types and amount of support that I'm going to get from other people in the office.

I should know how this works out about 6 months from now.
