Things have been (socially) quiet in the [AD] camp. This summer has proven to be a bit busier for me than I originally intended.

For those of you who don't know, I am a stage hand for Live Nation and work quite often around the Bay Area. With it being summer, concerts tend to happen every weekend as well as during the week. That along with my day job as a head cook are only two of the reasons why I've been hiding in the shadows.

Aside from the act of making money to support my musical addictions, I've taken this time to hone my skills with Ableton, as well as other MIDI applications and techniques, all while looking at [AD] from a different angle.

The new material I've been working on has me shifting in a new direction, both musically and visually. By the time I'm done putting these new songs together and building a new live set, [AD] will have shed its skin and evolved to the next step. But as we know, these things take time, so patience is of the utmost importance.

I want to take a moment to thank those of you who have downloaded The Contrast EP and who continue to support my endeavors. I am grateful for your time and hope you continue with me on this journey, because it only gets better.

Come celebrate the release of my debut EP "The Contrast" with friends Death Valley High
and Chopstick at your favorite Vacaville pub Cheers on March 3rd.

It's 2011 and we've already accomplished a number of things. 

We here at the A.D camp have been very busy finishing up recording and mixing the last few songs to be mastered.
The Contrast EP is almost finished and will be released via BandCamp and Digital Download Cards. 
I still haven't decided whether or not to follow up with a distribution option through TuneCore, we'll see how that goes within the next few weeks.
I've also gathered a small group of very talented artists to assist me in the realization of the album artwork and I am very excited to see how it turns out. 
A Release show it set for Thursday, March 3rd at Cheers in Vacaviile. Also performing is my good friend Chopstick and more artists TBA soon. 

For now here is the official Track listing for "The Contrast":

1. Reset/Revive
2. The True Constant
3. Wander In Billows
4. Real Fake World
5. Quid Pro Quo

Thank you again for your support, this will be an exciting year for A.D.
