There is something endlessly nourishing about the ocean.
I’ve been to the beach twice this week. On Tuesday I went to Marblehead, and this morning I spent a few hours at Crane Beach in Ipswitch. I didn’t realize how much I needed these trips until I came back. It was medicinal.
While I’m waiting for the dust to settle, I’m hard at work writing new music. Now that Ten Directions is finished and out the door, the ideas have been coming quickly and I’ve been doing what I can to record them before they flutter away. I’m very pleased with what’s been happening so far, the sound is very sophisticated and clean.
I will be releasing these and all new electronic tracks as Artemis Seven, reserving Jeffrey Radcliffe for other musical projects. More on that in the future.

I am returned from the mountains and am now a licensed massage therapist. It feels strangely inconsequential in the flow of life right now but it’s no small thing.
The release of the school promised time creates a huge rift in life, and in the moments before life reestablishes a new normal, I’m striving to understand where the lay of the land lies. I’m not sure when exactly things got so complicated, but even so it feels good to stand in the whirlpool and feel the trails of possibilities.
Massage school is over, and I’m waiting for the license process to complete. In many ways it feels like the last 9 months were a dream.
Today, I’m loading up the truck and driving out to the Catskills for my yearly Week In The Mountains. It’s a week of entirely unstructured time featuring lots of music making, silliness and catching up with old friends. It couldn’t come at a better time this year. When I return, hopefully my license will be waiting for me and I can start the transition from study into profession.
