These are some terrific resolutions, everyone! I may print this post out and tack it up in my studio. :)

Paul, I’m happy to help any way we can with your resolutions, as I can sympathize on all four of yours.

Stop being as wishful, become proactive in promoting myself. Get some balls, and actually share some of the music I’ve been making over the last 10 or so years.

1. Learn up on tubes and re-tube my amps. Start putting a mic on them instead of sims.

2. Get some custom outboard stuff built. I’m tired of having all the bells and whistles while the stuff that counts suffers. I want the premium stuff for what I need and nothing else.

3. Learn to write lyrics (perhaps impossible)

As opposed to everyone else’s resolutions so far, I plan to:

1. BUY MORE MUSIC GEAR. As a software/sequencing kind of guy, I want to externalize some of my setup and learn to play something decent enough to jam live w/ people. I’ve been having fun borrowing a friend’s electronic drum set (Dauz pads) and I’m seriously eyeballing the Zendrum.

2. Get more samples. Get more offbeat synths (e.g. the new Native Instruments FM). Find more percussion samples. It feels like I’ve totally exahusted the aesthetic possibilities of vanilla analog synths and the typical array of electronic percussion samples.

1. Start doing live hybrid shows

2. Schedule my time in the studio so I am more often focused and not get stuck on youtube. btw: artist interviews on youtube are nice.

3. Start producing more club oriented synth patterns and arps.

4. Focus less on adding more elements to my tracks and focus on automating parameters of the existing elements.

1. More bicycle musicmaking devices! Melody! Rhythm! Take it to the streets! Traveling concerts!
2. Finish the album I’ve started and get distribution.
3. Get in shape and exercise more. And meditate. Too much time spent in front of the computer.
4. Have fun and be happy.
