Hello and thanks for visiting my site!

My debut album failure to obey a traffic control device is finally being pressed! I'm releasing it under my own name (saving the SYS-X name for non-LP material) and on my own Penna Station label. Check back for updates soon... or even better, use the box at the right to sign up for my mailing list, and I will email you when the cd's have arrived!

NEWS FLASH -- I just licensed a short clip from my tune "soar beyond" for use in the entry page of Italian retailer Luisa Via Roma's web site. This fantastic Flash animation by video artist Luca Fornaciari will only be online for 2 weeks, so check it out now at www.luisaviaroma.com.

STATIC's album Patterns has made the cut for review in Progression Magazine issue No. 51 due out in late April! Since 1992, Progression has been the world's largest, longest-running English-language publication devoted exclusively to the coverage of progressive rock and related subgenres, with loyal subscribers in 49 countries. The magazine circulates domestically and overseas through Borders Books & Music, Tower Records, and many independent music stores.

AD ASTRA ("the artists formerly known as the Joe Nardulli Band") have completed tracks for our first band album. We're currently in the mixing stage, shooting for April / May release, and gigs to follow.

Finally, the Korg padKONTROL promo video I shot last year is in the final edit stage, to be posted on korg.com and run in major music stores. I provided the entire soundtrack and perform some of my own tunes live on the padKONTROL and a Powerbook. I'll post a link to the video as soon as it's online.

Hello from Deer Park, NY! After a long delay, I'm finally back with a quick update. We've moved and are still getting settled in our new place. It's taken a lot more time, effort and expense than anticipated, but it's totally worth it. I'll soon be setting up a dedicated electronic production / mixing studio, with a soundproof drum practice / live tracking room to follow. We're also now on broadband, which will allow me to add a lot more video and audio content to this site and my my MySpace and YouTube pages.

AD ASTRA (formerly Joe Nardulli Band) IN THE STUDIO - We're currently laying down basic tracks for our first band album, with Magic Elf guitarist / engineer Carl Roa at the board. We're recording the first 11 tunes written and arranged as a band since Joe's debut solo CD. We expect to complete the album by late January, just in time for --

G3LI - Tentatively scheduled for February 9, 2007 at the IMAC Theater in Huntington, this will be the first of their "Long Island's Own" concerts to feature instrumental, progressive rock! The show will feature Ad Astra, Favored Nations' recording artist Rob Balducci, and Magic Elf. Confirmation and updates to follow...

SYS-X - My debut CD has been mastered (by producer / engineer Chris Fasulo), and it sounds amazing! Early 2007 should afford me enough time to get it pressed and released, with online sales, and hopefully some live performances, to follow.

In the meantime, many other CD's with my drumming, programming and/or composing can be purchased on my cds page.

Thanks again for visiting my site, and a very happy and healthy Holiday season and New Year to all!

Hello again & thanks for stopping by.

The big news right now: we are moving! Yes, at long last, a bigger & better home studio, a permanent drum practice room, cable hookup so I can upload more video... and some actual breathing space -- what a concept! The next site updates will occur after the move. Wish us luck!

In other news:

Last month I shot a promo / educational video for Korg's amazing new padKONTROL MIDI controller with author / editor / producer / electronic music guru Craig Anderton behind the camera! I wrote and performed 8 tunes live, using just the padKONTROL and a Powerbook. It should be posted on the Korg website once completed. I'll post the link as soon as it's available!

The Joe Nardulli Band is now Ad Astra. We've been spending most of the summer writing tunes for our first "band" album, and hope to do some more gigs by late summer / early fall.

Lastly (and I know I've said this a few times before, but...) I'm finally getting the SYS-X failure to obey... CD finished masters! CD manufacturing and mass promotion (including live performances!) are to follow...
