lupus is currently recording a debut album of sorts.  technology has advanced to the point that his talent is the only barrier to transference between the ideas in his head and the sounds you hear.  he has realized that throughout his career (such that it is) he has relied upon any number of preconfigured caveats to explain why folks don't like his stuff.  ("it was recorded on a four track", "they can't hear past the hiss", "all the parts are 1st takes", etc. etc.) stripped of these shields, he froze for a bit in a fear of freedom kinda way.  similar to how alternate tunings of the guitar (anything other than EADGBE) paralyze lup with infinite possibilities, the ability to have complete control over the end product was terrifying for a time.

then, quite salubriously, he discovered that moving to an all digital realm (via the excellent shareware n track program.  (who even knew that italians coded?!?!), where sounds can be manipulated as easily as text is by word processors if anything, extends the number of prefab excuses at his disposal  ("the compression algorhythm is bad",  "your connection isn't fast enough", "your crappy computer speakers make it sound bad", "it is your sound card", "bill gates hates my music", etc etc)

thus liberated, he plugs away at an album of new tunes, in addition to re-recording some of his "classics" which were made unfamous by monkey paw, (manic) buzz function, duck haight, and safe az koffee according to the muse in his head...
