Progressive music and the death of tradition

Catchy title, yes?

Actually, this short post is in contrast to the title.

Progressive music is not dead at all. It has just progressed. With sounds like Pink Floyd, Yes, (arguably) The Moody Blues, and so many other musical wonders of the world - it seems logical and even desirable for today's artists to continue the tradition: learn, experiment, make sounds and share them with the world.

Bend the boundaries of what Rock or Progressive or Pop is. Put some blues in your electronic sounds. Put some blues in your pop. Put some pop in your rock (not PopRocks, mind you!)

Vivid Peace - A new Journey - and 2012 - Maya The Single

Things have been busy. I have a pair of new albums coming out, the second and third of The Blue Sun Project. The muses this time are Clio and Thalia. Clio will be out this fall, with Thalia coming out in the winter time.

And now: TADA! the new "band" name: Vivid Peace.

I'm leaving my Jimmy Bear Pearson persona behind and starting a new phase to my musical musings.

I've released a single from Clio through TuneCore: 2012 - Maya. This tune is my musical expression of following the Mayan calendar in a rhythmic and hypnotic roundabout, culminating in a gentle fade to the end.

Will 2012 be the end? I don't know. I'll tell you on the 22nd.

Please listen through iTunes, Rhapsody, eMusic and more.
