When the cast came off, my left hand fingers did not move anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s been a journey back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, so many good things came out of that bad situation; my van got rebuilt by a community that rallied around me, I had some major life shifts, and an opportunity was offered to work with a friend and mentor in one of my first loves, music production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Folks tend to know me as a teacher and bassist, but I also studied music production in college\u2026just haven\u2019t used that knowledge as much as I\u2019ve wanted to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of my first projects was writing lofi for library placement, but some of the tracks showed up with more of my own take on lofi\u2026cinematic, meditative, and ambiant. It was suggested to me to release these under a different artist name, since they weren\u2019t a perfect fit but they were still good enough they should be shared. And here we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Redemption is out today\u2026intentionally\u2026the 2 year anniversary of my \u201cbroken arm\/windstorm\/tree on the house and car\u201d day. I hope you\u2019ll check it out. Search for Ember\u2019s LoFi Grooves. I\u2019ll still be putting out solo bass and \u201ccinematic\u201d content under my own name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking forward\u2026two years later\u2026I\u2019m happy to say I just read through a script for the first episode of a book that\u2019s being made into a TV style series. I\u2019ve got work to do\u2026but we\u2019ll see where my journey goes from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the worst moments of your life, there\u2019s still a space for good things to come from it.<br><br>As far as my arm itself; I played my first double bass gig since the arm break this year. Kayaking is finally back on my list of activities. The flexibility in my wrist is still limited but slowly, it is increasing. Some days I wake up and it still greets me, burning away. But most days, the pain and swelling is staying in a reasonable lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I still go to a chiropractor for adjustments and cold laser every two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CRPS can mess with a nervous system in multiple ways. One side effect is weight gain\u2026so I\u2019ve been out in the woods everyday, interval training\u2026getting fit. Dropped 22 pounds so far. And I\u2019m off most of my painkillers for the first time in nearly 2 years. No tapes, no wraps, no sleeves to control swelling. I\u2019m slowly re-regulating my nervous system to stand down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I don\u2019t really get to say I\u2019ve hit remission, but we\u2019re learning to co-exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that\u2026for a friend who needs to hear this\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWe have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.\u201d &#8211; Confucius<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Redemption is available everywhere today\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spotify- <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/1ITD0T2Tjvb7SJzlvkHzkZ?si=RARI0-zxT0ukXD0ukRUUPA&amp;fbclid=IwAR3-jWqgDOu01nUyIVY4kFyygM1o51NaYkmRqiWoDi5qHUhzOfbGsL2b9Mo&amp;nd=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/1ITD0T2Tjvb7SJzlvkHzkZ?si=RARI0-zxT0ukXD0ukRUUPA&amp;fbclid=IwAR3-jWqgDOu01nUyIVY4kFyygM1o51NaYkmRqiWoDi5qHUhzOfbGsL2b9Mo&amp;nd=1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple Music &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/album\/redemption\/1694937436?i=1694937439\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/album\/redemption\/1694937436?i=1694937439<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bandcamp &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/emberslofigrooves.bandcamp.com\/track\/redemption\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/emberslofigrooves.bandcamp.com\/track\/redemption<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">YT &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/bC2BhEK8mGI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/bC2BhEK8mGI<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Ember\u2019s LoFi YT channel &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/@EmbersLoFiGrooves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/@EmbersLoFiGrooves<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upcoming Gigs &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riverside Dinner Theater &#8211; upcoming 42nd Street shows &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riversidedt.com\/42ndstreet-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for more info!<\/a><br>7\/30, 8\/2, 8\/4, 8\/5, 8\/6, 8\/10, 8\/18, 8\/19, 8\/20, 8\/25<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8\/7 &#8211; Playing a short set during Bakithi Kumalo&#8217;s clinic at Shenandoah Music! <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ladybassmusic.net\/?p=4645\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for more info!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8\/19 &#8211; Porchfest FXBG with Lee Britt and Toby Fairchild. <a href=\"https:\/\/rapp-arts.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for more info!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9\/8 &#8211; Nat\u2019s Ball Park with the Ashleigh Chevalier Band! <a href=\"https:\/\/ashleighchevaliermusic.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for more info!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar sc_project=1496529;\nvar sc_invisible=0;\nvar sc_security=\"ec215b54\";\nvar sc_https=1;\nvar scJsHost = \"https:\/\/\";\ndocument.write(\"<sc\"+\"ript type='text\/javascript' src='\" +\nscJsHost+\n\"statcounter.com\/counter\/counter.js'><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>null by Ember&#8217;s LoFi Grooves I\u2019ve got a new single that dropped today\u2026 Friday 7\/14 \u2026two years since the distal radius fracture that resulted in my CRPS.
