My first release of new music in a while, sorry for the wait!  There have been lots of changes afoot…

Blue Waters was written while dreaming of white sands and turquoise waters during a particularly frigid stretch of Adirondack winter.  It helped.  And it’s fun.  I hope you enjoy it’s playful presence.

Always Love,

Eric

I just received an amazing review of Deena Chappell’s new CD that I engineered and produced, and I thought I’d share it with you ~

“Deena’s new cd, The Continuing Story of Roses in Crazyland, is really good! I just listened to it carefully, and I am impressed by the singing, the songwriting, the arrangements, and the production. As you all know, I try to be versatile as a musician, but I am humbled and delighted by Deena’s ability to sing (and write and arrange!) rock and bluegrass and r&b and country and heavy and celtic and gospel and more. (My labels — not hers. Whatever you call it, lots of musical styles, each one done very well.) Every song sounds like a different singer and a different band and a different producer — I think that is really cool. I give her producer, Eric Geoffrey, a lot of credit — the recording, mixing, and production values are truly first-rate. This is one of the best independent cds I’ve heard in a long time — really professional. Good songs. Lots of good pickers. And such vocal variety! Good work, Deena!” ~ Barry Hyman

The new video for ThunderBirds is now out, and during the process of production I realized it was wanting to become a presence for a prayer of mindfulness and peace on earth. I love how the images suggest a story or narrative if you relax, flow with the music, and interact with the images non-judgmentally. As with most of my music, I hope that this creates an invitation for you to step outside of your familiar perspective and open to grander appreciations for just how precious and miraculous existence is on this small planet floating through space.

All the best,

I wanted to celebrate and honor the spirit, bravery, and determination of the people of Egypt to peacefully change. For freedom. For dignity. For a people’s right to self determination. For peace to triumph over all efforts to subvert it and drag it down into the mud. For the heart and soul of a people who have inspired us all. For the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King which is shining brighter than ever.

The different chants are translated:

El shaab yurid esqat el nezam – The people want the end of the regime

El shaab yurid esqat el rayis – The people want the end of the dictator

Mosh ha nimshi, howa yimshi – We won’t leave, he must leave

Yasqot yasqot Hosni Mubarak – End end Hosni Mubarak

Erhal erhal – Leave leave

I can’t help but be inspired by recent events, seeing people stand up for what they believe in, and to remain (mostly) peaceable feels so empowering. There has been so much change in the air recently! Power up!

Technical Difficulties
This has been a most challenging month technically. I don’t think I will ever buy a computer again while Mercury is in retrograde, no matter how long I have to wait. I’m not ever sure I really believed in such things before, but I have never had such a run of bad technical glitches, crashes, virus infections, lost drivers, and malfunctioning hardware, ever. Most of these things I’ve never had before period, and them blam! All sorts of train wrecked mayhem. I have been cautiously renewing my optimism this past week in tech land and things are looking up, but for now this means that the videos that were in the pipe are going to be slightly delayed, and new music will remain in the on deck circle for at least another week or so. I’ve got my fingers crossed, so it’ll be a great joy when I can next announce a release of anything.

Producers Hat
On the other hand, it is with tremendous pleasure that I am able to announce that the long awaited follow up to “Voices of the Archetypes” by the incomparable Deena Chappell is now finished and available as a digital download on CD Baby, with physical CD’s on the way. Producing this album was an amazing experience, affording me the opportunity to work with several incredibly talented artists. With eight original songs written straight from the heart and one cover this has ended up being an amazing collection of songs from a thoughtful and sensitive songstress, who also happens to possess a truly divine voice. I was also able to wear my musicians hat on this one too, laying down a handful of electric guitar tracks, some Hammond organ, my pennywhistle, and even some bass. To top it all off, the last track “Young Troubadour” afforded me the opportunity to compose for french horn, trumpet, and pipe organ. All in all it was an honour to participate in such a profound production, and I know that if you choose to take the time to check it out you will probably be as smitten with this collection as I am.

Physical CD’s !!!

I am thrilled to announce that within the week it will be possible to purchase physical CD’s of my music. This is a first, and I am ecstatic. Up until now all of my music has been solely available as digital downloads, so this is a huge step for me. I have had so many people asking when they can get a “real” CD of my music, so stay tuned because it is right around the corner.

Free Downloads ~
For now all of my music is available as pay what you will / set your own price digital downloads, so I encourage you to take advantage of that and download away. I am so thankful for your support, and hope that you continue to discover greater depths of energy through my music.

Help support this endeavor by passing this along to friends and family who you think might appreciate it, posting it on your FaceBook page or Twitter account, or writing a review of a track or album that you are particularly drawn to and send it along. That’d be great as I always love hearing different perspectives on something so intimately familiar.

All the best to you and yours!
Until next time, don’t make the mistake of life without music…

Eric
