Hey frans, So just like an update dealio I suppose. In this life Im really only decent at one thing, and at this point its become more than a hobby. Its become a deep reality, place of catharsis or meditation, something to headbang to, or just the daily balance-bringer. My guitar playing priority-wise... eh its pretty high up there. Unfortunately, over the summer I severed a nerve (cuz things happen right? edit: safety isnt so high up priority wise.... -_-) in my left hand, luckily it only affected my two middle fingers, essentially a common digital nerve that runs from my palm to the tips of my fingers went numb and plastic surgeons had to bridge the gap. For about a solid 3-4 months I couldnt play guitar at all or do many things for that matter, so I tried my best to improve in other areas that didnt require mi manos - singing, songwriting, mixing, mastering, all that très bien nonsense. Ive been very blessed with such close/supportive/incredible friends (you know who you are) that theyve helped me in the process of improvement or just being supportive in times of notsohappiness. Anyways, September rolled around and seeing some of the talent that exudes from Pepperdine has been quite a humbling experience, let alone some of my friends that shred. Yet, its also a motivation that I seek to become better at the one thing Im only decent at / scratched the surface of the possibilities of. So now, Ive started slowly playing again. After some awesome physical therapy, pain (stretching my hand during pt... lovely), rest, and ultimately my will to recover to the best of my bodys abilities, it has led to a grand realization that the gift I have been given is not something to take lightly. Its one of the few things (if not the only thing) I have to offer to this world, to ordinary people just like me, and try to leave something with someone or a few people that means more than just a 4 minute pop song on radio, which for some reasons todays music market is so fond of, despite its monotonous/grey sort of vibe or lyrical content. Hopefully the stuff I write will hold meaning to a suffering human in the East as it will to a tired person in the West and everything in between or beyond. I, like my vgb Max Gorelick, have realized that especially in this day and age, setting unrealistic goals to make a full-length album and release per deadline is kind of stressful, especially if Im a full time student. Its been done before though, not saying it cant be done. However, it sets an unnecessary burden on my shoulders and because of that I know now that Id be a lot more productive just releasing song by song, or pack by pack, until a stage in my life where Ive been granted more time/money/freedom to write an albums length. Hopefully youll see more of me around campus performing or around the larger area of Malibu. But in any case, even though I dont have much to offer at this moment, Ill be releasing songs or clips when I feel they are ready to be heard by the world, the internetz being what it is... With all that said and done, Ill let you all know when I update my soundcloud / youtube / facebook with good ol material. Heres something I wrote up after a long first-half week of rush with Psi U, tonight being our only off-night, and then a nice long rest of the week to wrap it up with the gentlemen. Not too much, but trust me, in time this song will be grand. Love to each and every one of you, Jordan Seah(later) https://youtube/watch?v=n5lVIhaUJJs&feature=youtu.be vgbs Max Gorelick Matt Newman Whitney Blair Hagstrom Christiane Martin Christine Seah Nat Flor
