Postmodern Magic and remixes
I've started doing music under the name Postmodern Magic. I have one song up on bandcamp right now and a bunch more in the works.
I've also been working on some remixes. I completed two for Leslie Hall's new song Hydrate Jirate.
The last remix was for Mirror Mirror.

Genre Case Study No. 3 - Nu Gaze
Nu Gaze or the new wave of shoegaze is a form of alternative rock originating in the 2000s. The genre takes the ethereal heavily effected guitars of the British shoegazing scene of the early 90's (My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, etc.) and combines it with more modern influences from both sides of the Atlantic. The genre is very diverse as certain bands have synth/electronica influences (such as M83) and others have heavier rock elements, but all are united by space-rock guitar textures. Some nu gaze bands are almost identical in musical aesthetic to the originating shoegazing genre, other than by time period and geographic location (e.g. The Radio Dept.) - Wikipedia
Genre Case Study No. 2 - Shoegaze
Shoegazing (also known as shoegaze) is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged from the United Kingdom in the late 1980s. It lasted there until the mid 1990s, with a critical zenith reached in 1990 and 1991. The British music press—particularly NME and Melody Maker—named this style shoegazing because the musicians in these bands stood relatively still during live performances in a detached, introspective, non-confrontational state, hence the idea that they were gazing at their shoes. The heavy use of effects pedals also contributed to the image of performers looking down at their feet (shoegazing) during concerts. The shoegazing sound is typified by significant use of guitar effects, and indistinguishable vocal melodies that blended into the creative noise of the guitars. A lump description given to shoegazing and other affiliated bands in London in the early 1990s was The Scene That Celebrates Itself. - Wikipedia
