Ron is still here. It’s been over a year since I updated this page. With all the distraction of finding people and updating profiles on myspace and Facebook, I have forgotten that I actually own a domain of my own and can work on it.
Here is where I will insert the false-promise of “more content coming soon”. I do actually have new reasons to add content, specifically new music projects that have kept me occupied throughout the year. As far as my other passion, MMA, it is a chaotic and exciting time to be a fan. The MMA scene has exploded and it almost too difficult to keep up with. Yesterday, the UFC announced a partnership with new mega-huge sponsor Bud Light. This is huge for the UFC. In the last year or so we have seen some incredible changes that I would have never predicted (ok, I may have predicted some of them): PRIDE FC is gone; Cro Cop somehow dropped two fights out of three in the UFC; any fledgling millionaire who buys a cage and a couple of fighters thinks he can make a splash in the MMA scene (most cannot); Fedor is still beating up on cans. All is well with the world.
I am currently putting together a four/five song demo to fish out to a couple of interested parties. I will be sure to post that stuff on here as things shape up. I am currently mastering two of the tracks. The third track is about 85% completed and the other one or two tracks have yet to be put to tape. It is difficult to make time. In the past year I have made some significant changes to the studio: I have done away with using the dDrums for percussion and gone to a MIDI-based system for programming drum tracks. I never thought I would make that leap to MIDI but it has been a bit easier than I had initially feared. I am still using Line 6 gear exclusively for recording guitar parts: their stuff is still amazing even after three years of use in the studio.
Stay tuned, more to come!
