Press Information:
Mankind Tracer describes the concept and style of ‘Depth of Shadows’:
“Looking back at "The Depth of Shadows" as a concept, I find this album to be more personal than say "Beyond the Shade" and I expect long time fans will be able to hear a bit of a difference in the music... in me, personally. New listeners will hopefully take to it because lyrically on some of the tracks, I've tried to reach out to kind of say "Hey, you're not the only one going through that!" and let them know that they aren't alone in some life experiences that many of us have in common. Individual growth is a funny thing. So I think many will be able to relate on a more personal level.
Personally, musically and lyrically, I have let go of worrying about what listeners might think about me writing about my personal experiences, thoughts and values or even about the music itself and just wrote! They say a writer should write what they know so I've taken a more "this is me" approach without concern of criticism and wrote what I wanted to write, I wrote what I know... ME! So ultimately, there is definitely more personal emotion on "Depth of Shadows" in both the words and the music, even the production. Sure I still like to write lyrics without being completely literal, at least on most songs, but I think I've been a bit more transparent on this album. I felt I needed to do that.”
And on using new video streaming at his shows:
“I actually did a few video shows about 2 or 3 years ago. At the time, however, technological stability was still an issue. The video was choppy at best if it even STREAMED! Today, even avatar clarity is vastly improved since then. Those that know of me in SL know that I've been performing pretty much nonstop for over three and a half years. I love doing it but I feel now with the improvements Linden Labs has made to their infrastructure, video streaming is now possible but more than that, I feel it's the next logical step in the evolution of my SL career. Many people know my shows are very personal. I like to "talk" to the audience offering more than just a guy playing live. There is the interaction factor that I find the friends and fans compliment me most about. I'm hoping this will take that level of interaction to a new level.”
