  • I’ve been wondering the same thing. Hope all is well.

  • I hope he's well too. Seems he was still active this month despite his last reply being 31 Aug, so I believe in his case it's just a break from being online. I hope that's all it is.

    I think he’s just been spending some “quality time” with his new lady friend.

    @LinearLineman

  • @Frenq @qryss @jwmmakerofmusic I believe @Edward_Alexander is correct. Last I heard from Mike was in my "Wind Chimes" post in August. He shared a really nice picture of her. I think they are just making their own special music together. I'm sure he'll be back one day.

    He’s a happy man. His BandCamp page has something like 100 albums. Quite a run of creativity. He didn’t repeat himself.

    I think he will be touched to see this thread.

  • High fives for Mike

  • He’s had a few periods away from here lately, so hopefully it’s another one and we will see him back soon.

    Definitely miss his music.

    @Frenq, thanks, bro, for thinking of me! @qryss @jwmmakerofmusic @Paulieworld @McD @Fingolfinzzz @michael_m @Stochastically @Edward_Alexander @sevenape .. indeed, I am having a lot of fun, though sometimes with the frictions of a new relationship. Kim just moved in with me after a pressured month of moving her household goods in with mine.

    I didn’t make any announcements of my temporary (I hope) retreat from making music because, wtf, it's no big deal. Still, i’m glad, of course, that I’m missed a little and appreciate the remembrances. It’s ironic, since my new studio is complete now, down to the artwork on the walls. I'm playing the Kawai Novus quite regularly, but, honestly, i don’t know how I produced so much music in four plus years. My playing is okay but nothing memorable. I think I need to have trusty old Cubasis chugging along beside me engraving that midi info for me to take it seriously.

    Actually, I find myself playing in the style of my early rock days a lot and the same limitations are still there for me… to stay in the groove, not to overplay, to move from one simple concept to another. It just ain’t natural for me, even fifty years later.

    I listen often to my old tracks, produced for the ABF audience, and i’m usually pleased. I tell myself I needn’t record another track because I’ve really expressed it all. Like so many other aspects of my life I’ve passed the finish line. The only truly unfinished chapter for me is clear loving, which, as much as I like to think I’ve improved at, still ain’t so easy. And, natch, it takes two to tango. Bottom line, consciousness is a bitch. But I work at it every day. I try not to fight with life. Still, I watch my partner do it and I’m drawn in.

    Trying to share illumination is presumptuous and arrogant. My “remembering “ that i’m alive is fueled by the knowledge that my days are numbered to a few years (75 plus kidney disease). Strangely, that knowledge of my own mortality is a beacon for me. It lights up the moments and i’m grateful even for that. Every piece of life is the best piece for me. At least I've gotten that far!

    So thanks for the love. I’m looking on for now but, like everything my life has been so far… expect the unexpected! 😘🚀😂👍😎🙏

    Cheers mate. So glad to hear back from you. You're definitely one of the most prolific people here and a good person at that! Hope things keep going well for you. ❤️

  • Good to see you back my friend! Glad to hear anything from you musically as and when it happens.

    I've been all boo boo faced about turning 48 last month. Reading what @LinearLineman Mike wrote here totally got me. Our ability to have perspective on our mortality is uniquely
    human. Not to say members of the animal kingdom don't feel the repercussions of death, they just don't obsess and navel gaze about it all day...I think, lol.

    "Dayattatime" living is all we really have...we truly have to "enjoy every sandwich" as the late Warren Zevon often said. Thanks @LinearLineman, glad you you are doing well. You are incredibly prolific and it's an inspiration to me and I'm sure quite a few others here as well.

    Boom! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

  • In your youth you have a demon critic. Connie coached you to turn it off and create.

    I guess you turned off the critical mind for a few years here and the results were staggering. The feedback was a rush.

    So, you took a break after a tragic loss. Now you have started playing a bit and guess who’s back!

    Throw those thoughts away. There is no bad music. Let your mind free again.

    Please hit REC on Cubasis for a few sessions. After a few days assign the MIDI to a synth and add some FX.

    Kill your internal critic.

    Enjoying every drink, unfortunately, which I presume sandwich might be code for here, is what led to that early death for the supremely talented Zevon though, so you definitely still need balance!

    @LinearLineman great to hear you're happy, though reading between the lines it sounds like you might have a feisty one on your hands. Good luck! And the breaks in music making surely just provide fodder for the next creative bout, so I wouldn't lose a second of worry on whether you go a month or two, or more, without releasing a track

    Sweet post mate, thanks for sharing that and I’m happy to read that you’re happy 🙌

  • Although I do miss your music, the best thing is to know you're doing well and enjoying life. That's the best news, Mike! :heart:

    Now, of course, whenever you drop new tracks, it will be a second blessing :lol:
    Cheers mate, and much love

  • Welcome back @LinearLineman Great to hear you are living life to your fullest. May your days continue to be filled with moments of reflectivity and temporary moments of gracing the rapture of the divine.

    Peace • Love • Prosperity • Health • Wealth • Love • Joy

    Hi Mike @LinearLineman 👋😃
    Glad to hear you're keeping well.

    Just when I was about to create a thread asking where you were, here you are! How are things going for you mate?

  • @jwmmakerofmusic 👋😃 Bless ya, mate!

    Haven't touched the iPad or made a single sound for 6 months. Last thing was the bank for Copperhead. Then I just never picked it up again. Think I must've needed a complete break as it was an everyday obsessive thing whenever I had a chance! 😅

    Might be interested to have a dabble with 4pockets Stringlab thingy when it comes out, but not tempted by much else still at the moment. (Although I can also hear Nambu whispering in my ear that we still have some unfinished business together, haha).

    This is a cool thread. Even though I'd dropped right out of music and sound design for a while, I still hop onto the forum now and then to have a nosey around. I've become a "lurker" LOL. I started noticing the absence of Mike (and Rene) but these days you never know and I don't like to ask, too afraid of the possible answers, you know?

    Glad to see Mike is happy and doing just fine.

    Hope all is well with you, mate. You're still here at least, so that's a good thing. 👍
