How has it changed, the feeling of writing a song now versus your first song?

It’s much different now. I don’t try and force it. During the writing stage I may go for a week or two without looking at my guitar, just taking in ideas, experiences, and thoughts. This yields a fuller song and feels a lot better than trying to make something out of nothing.

In the case of PreTragedy, is this something that you consider finished? Or, is it something that you wish you’d have had more time to flesh it out into an album?

I don’t know. I wanted it to be short and sweet. I wanted to get my feet wet. Now, however, I’m ready to write an album. Eventually I might try and write a song then expressed the deceased but I don’t know…

Earlier, while I mentioned that you’ve got all the songs from this EP up on your myspace page, I also mentioned that it was now available for purchase on iTunes. What was that like? How difficult was it for you, as an independent artist from Arkansas, to be able to get your music to a place where people across the world will have access to it?

Getting the songs up onto Myspace was a cinch. Getting people to listen to them, that’s another story. I don’t want to be a band that adds hundreds of random people a day just for the sake of pushing listens up. I would rather give people the chance to discover this stuff, however, I'm still trying to find ways to help guide people there and to advertise without being to predictable like the majority of myspace musicians.

ITunes was pretty difficult. It’s a long process in which they review your music and decide whether or not it’s fit for their market. It took me 2 months to get PreTragedy up there. Being from Arkansas hasn’t really had much of an impact, yet. The Internet makes Arkansas and Belgium neighbors, it makes a global community a reality, (word check tells me that internet is a proper noun, that’s messed up).

In the future it will impact me as I try to set up a “home base” in Arkansas and get together with other bands to perform.

What are the plans (or hopes) for the future for PreTragedy? Is there any chance that it might see an actual pressed-cd release? Of course, I’m only asking so I can stand in line for my copy, but I’m curious as to how those steps are taken. Is that even something you’d want for this release, and instead using its place on iTunes to help you achieve that next step, with your next project?
