It has been a busy 2010 so far and it doesn't look it's showing any signs of slowing down. I've been working on a number of remixes and collaborations. There are still more to come, along with the release of my CD, 'Envisioning Abstraction: the Duality of FluiD'.
* Ghoul - 'Warm' and 'Down' (FluiD remixes) - Part of a remix swap with the Iowa based dubstep producer. Should be out by years end on Tundra Dubs.
* Black Saturn vs. subduxtion - 'Cosmic Karma' - Written in collaboration with Black Saturn. Two new tracks, 'Conquering Echo' and 'Dreamer'. To be released on Alrealon Music in June.
* Jason Covelli - 'I Am Evil' (FluiD remix) - I completed three remixes of Jason's spoken-word piece. All three remixes are forthcoming on Human.Burial.Tapes.CDs. The plan is to release a limited edition CD by late July.
* Actors&Actresses - 'Quiet' (FluiD remix) - I recently completed two remixes of the track 'Quiet'. One is a downtempo/trip-hop/glitch mix and the other is a drum and bass mix. The plan as I understnad it is for The Mylene Sheath to release a 12" vinyl of the best remixes and a digital version which will include all the remixes the band received.
* LaptopAcidXperience - 'cREEPYsHEEP' and 'Deep Water' (FluiD remixes) - Alrealon Music will be releasing a special version of the LAX single in Japan,which will include my two remixes. Release date is mid-September.
In the works, production work with SDSA and a collaboration with Aural Resuscitaion Unit

Interview with Industrialized Metal Webzine
Before I leaving for my recent Midwest Tour, I did an interview with Industrialized Metal Webzine. The interview covered President Obama, globalization, Islam, activism and why I chose the name FluiD. Here is an excerpt from the interview -
A practical question - why on Earth did you name your project FluiD?
"I named it FluiD because they idea of being fluid or "fluidity" has been an underlying theme througout my musical life. I've played in all kinds of bands doing all kinds of music. I started out as a classical pianist, moved to jazz and eventually rock. I played saxophone is an avant-garde punk band, bass guitar in a thrash-metal band and keyboards in an electro/R&B group.
It's also akin to the idea of someone being fluent in a language. When we say someone is fluent in a language what we're saying is they understand it and can speak it. I think music is a language, a language I work to understand. The more fluid one is with the language of music, the easier it is to create something deeper and more meaningful with that language. You have understand, research and listen to what has come before you".
