CONSTANT FLUX has kicked it into high gear to complete
the follow up release to the album entitled All Things Change,
which is still a few months away from being finished. All of the
sounds on CONSTANT FLUX productions are created from
scatch starting at the microscopic level, and then each part is
performed one by one until a complete orchestrated
composition is built up. It tends to be a very time-intensive
process, but it leads to its very own unique production sound
and musical character. Although CONSTANT FLUX has always
enjoyed exploring new means of production enabled through
technological leaps and bounds, the technique he employs to
create his tracks has remained basically the same since the mid
-to-late-eighties. Only now instead of using all analog hardware
and real to real tape, he has progressed over the years through
sequencing and mixing down to dat via outboard gear and a nice
analog mixer, to recording down to multiple hard-disk tracks, to
finally doing all of the production inside of a laptop...sweet! His
favorite parts of music production are still creating sounds from
basic waveforms until he has what he hears in his head, and
composition....the fine tweaking and manipulation are the icing on
the cake!

more delectable, and it's in stores now!
