Hi and welcome to J Lee Arts and music Dateline 7/27/26: Been spending a lot of time getting a new show together (see below flyer) with my good friend and inovative artist Owen Takabayshi. Building new mobiles, creating a projection concept and composing an ambient generative synth patch. The trick is to be able to unite all these media into one presentation. Will post some vids of the process soon. In other news, I finished off the recording of Starry Skemes track Lonley Thing. Two more songs to go, then a final comb over of all the tracks for fixes and arrangements and hopefully the lp will be out by X mas/early 2027. It’s been a fun process and Bill and Dave’s tracks are top notch. Also, these guys are great engineers in the studio as is proof in the ever better recordings we are pulling off.
