The Echo Bloom site has undergone a serious Cher-style facelift. I redesigned the entire site and its interface, adding a new store, a metaplayer, a smattering of widgets I helped develop during my tenure at Topspin, and a treatise on web theory. Take a gander, and let me know what you think.

I've started a new song-a-week experiment for my music project, Echo Bloom, and have been posting the weekly results to Plaid Creature, a blog I co-founded with a group of old art school friends. For the foreseeable future, I'm planning on recording one piece a week and compiling each month's result into an EP - every five or six months I'll take a poll, select the best 10-12 pieces, and rework them into an LP. This experiment will hopefully address a question I posed on my blog a few weeks ago: Is it better in the end to be prolific and have that work be of varying quality, or to be a perfectionist, with less output, but higher quality?

Here is the first set of results - the May EP. Some pieces were more successful than others, but all were learning experiences. Any feedback is greatly appreciated (seriously).
