The wall is broken, the bricks scattered for miles in an explosion powered arc.

So much is coming together, it's at times frightening to realize the focal point is defined by my daily efforts and continued concentration. It's almost as if I've tricked myself into over-achievement when I see how various projects fit hand in glove. I would almost swear I did not consciously plan for them to work together in this way. Add random yet meaningful connections, unexpected interfacing and pages opened by a trickster wind exactly when required... yes, I can confidently say, synchronicity is both real and wonderful.

Some of what I've been hard at work on:

- The next set of Daevlmakr plug-ins. I had false starts with these over the last year, but they're now on track. The Daevl.Plugs have been so successful, it was difficult to both define and simultaneously let go of expectations for a follow-up. The magic wand wave: realizing these are not a follow-up. They're a suite of plug-ins with their own sonic legs, living in the same haunted recording studio as the Daevl.Plugs. However, like the Daevl.Plugs, this will be an installer full of audio-fuckery goodness. To make anything else is unnatural... it's simply how I'm bent.

- Software for Josh Boughey's wonderful, developing Stribe hardware controller.

- Software for the impossibly perfect Monome device series.

- Finishing off various Instrument Racks for Ableton Live. These will be a Daevlmakr product, but I haven't decided on release dates or installation method yet.

- A big jump start on the joint video project with Matt Ridenour. The concept has both scaled up and expanded. We're moving into a two human plus one silicon intelligence multimedia performance experience. Have I mentioned I love Max 5?

- Moving my custom apps over to the brilliant Max 5 environment. I've been working hardest here: deconstructing, re-thinking, taking advantage of the new Max/MSP to re-factor and sculpt programs into exactly what they should be. I've even braved re-patching some of my earliest Max works, born way back when I didn't know an [uzi] from a [loadbang] and somehow made the code work anyway. It's been a fun method for learning how deep the Max 5 rabbit-hole goes. Answer: even more bottomless than Max 4.

- Actual music. In concert with my evolving custom apps, the Monome 256 and the Stribe have revolutionized this workflow. Best of all, because of the way actions are coalescing into a sleek, futuristic, dimension-hopping jet car around me, it's almost effortless. I'll be unveiling a new audio project soon.
