New Year Gratitude

     Well, I feel like this sums things up nicely.  I am so happy, and so incredibly grateful for all the wonderful people and wild adventures of last year.  I've made so many new friends, and appreciate the friends who have known me for years.  We moved to a new state.  Dionvox and creativity are now my sole responsibility.  New website.  New album sooooo close to being finished (and then there are several more on third base right now).  Two new studios.
     I'm not going to lie, last year faced me with some of the hardest challenges I have ever encountered.  But our motto is NO FEAR AND NO REGRET.  So I wouldn't take a moment back, since it has landed me here.
     The Sanctuary Indiegogo campaign filled me over the brim with gratitude!  We raised enough money to get an external hard drive, an audio interface, and I think we can even squeak some studio monitors in there! :)  So I am well on my way to having a fully functioning studio.  WEEEEEEE!
     I'll be going up to Seattle this week.  Not only will it be fun to celebrate my birthday surrounded by friends and family, but it will be delightful to rescue our gear and instruments from storage.  After this, the colossal interstate move will be complete!  And more importantly, I can play bass and keys to my hearts content.
     Thank you to anyone that might be reading this, and thanks to anyone that isn't.  That's where I'm at, and I'm happy about it.

Soundtrack Success

I had the lovely gift of waking up on Christmas eve to the news that the film El Gallo De Oro won best documentary in the Americas Rainbow Film Festival hosted by HBO in New York! This was one of the first films we did the soundtrack for, and it's so exciting to see it blossom out in the real world.  :)

As you can see, it has done quite well in several festivals already!  So cool to be a part of a creative team adding to the collection of art in the world.

In other news, we still have the Indiegogo Campaign rolling.  We have enough money to get an external hard drive.  Next on the list is an interface, so I can record.  We'll just keep putting one foot in front of the other, and see where it leads us.  It's bound to be a fascinating destination!

Sending much love and a happy holiday to everyone!
Over and Out-

Wishing upon a star

Hey, there's no way to get whatcha want without asking :)  So I'm asking for support so that we can finish what we started (which is SO SO much).  With that, below is our campaign.  Please lend your sugar in any way you can, including sharing with other interested parties.  <3

Happy Holidays from Dionvox!

Sanctuary

Adding to the wonderful world of Dionvox is our second studio: Sanctuary Studio.  It's still a work in progress, but it's coming along nicely, and it feels just like it is named.  So I am in heaven right now.

It's in the Arts District right in the thick of Las Vegas.  I get to hear/see people screaming and jumping off the top of the Stratosphere (bungee jumping...) whenever I go out for some fresh air.  Which somehow feels hilariously exotic.  And it looks MUCH closer in person...

So Scobra and I are having a nearly mind-blowing-awesome time settling in and getting to work.  So many great projects going on right now.  Another soundtrack gig just came in today.  A REALLY BIG and COOL one.  We also have a sweet little sponsorship coming up with an exciting company.  But they will get their own post soon.  I don't wanna spill the beans until everything is nice and ready.

Per usual, I could make several more veiled and hyped sentences.  But I'll let this new flower unfurl in it's own time <3

MOMO

I am in the process of mastering my most "uncharacteristic" Dionvox album, MOMO.  It's basically a big EDM set.  I had way too much fun making it, and can't wait to unleash it.  I thought in the spirit of holiday sharing, I would let a little pre-master out of the bag as a teaser.  So here it is.

New Website & L.A. adventures

First and fancy-foremost:  I made a new website, which you should tell me is really great {or if it isn't, you should probably tell me that too, so I can make it better}.

http://www.dionvox.com/

Other than that, we went on a little Los Angeles adventure over the weekend.  I had a delightful time going to a bunch of my favorite haunts.  Franklin Village, Los Feliz, Downtown, et cetera.  Here are a few pics, including my brothers band Los Pepiniyos who are on tour from Puerto Rico.  :)

Next time you're downtown, and near the Greyhound station, you should buys some cool stuff at Descontrol

I had some fun in the pit for the first time in a long time...

I had a mellow evening hanging out with the band and working on a 3-D puzzle :) 

This is one of my favorite late night spots for quick and cheap food.  

Still working on fancy finishing touches on the website, and am now MASTERING our next album to be released.  Stay tuned...

Soundtracks for Landing...

Per usual, my life seems to dance in constant flux at an upbeat tempo.  So much so that I didn't post anything on here for a while because I hardly knew what to say.  Things seem to change a mile a minute, and I didn't want to make any statements that might change within a day... Or even an hour.
But I have finally landed in Las Vegas, to a very creative and warm welcoming party.  I'm loving the intensity of this city.  It is completely different than anywhere else I have lived.  And I am enjoying getting to know it.

However, my ULTIMATE FAVORITE thing about being here is that I now have undivided attention.  As a result, all of the delicious things I have spent the last several years creating, are now moving out into the world.  I am incredibly close to launching our new website.  And I've had the pleasure of working on a few soundtracks over the last 6 months, which I have just released for free download!

I'm sure I'll have more delightful solid updates soon.  But I thought a gift would be a good way to start out :)
