Shortly after Greg’s passing I decided that I would like to somehow collect all of his recordings as HYDRA and release them on a cd with a book. I tried getting in contact with as many people that I knew were friends of his. I received a handful of responses. The overall lack of replies and interest was a bit disheartening. I understand that we all have to deal with grief and death in our own ways and I completely respect this.
Twenty plus years have gone by with additional attempts to move forward with this. Maybe enough time has passed and feelings are finally settling for all of us. I know for myself that I have gone through every possible emotion about Greg's death, I am sure others have experienced this too.
I do ask myself if I am doing this for Greg or for myself. I am pretty clear in my thinking that the promise I made myself to do this is more for myself.
Greg was extremely talented, creative, kind, generous and had a huge heart. So honestly it is for him as well, a thank you of sorts for being a great friend. Having had the opportunity to meet him in this existence, I do treasure it as one of the highlights of my life.
I am looking for submissions. Photos of Greg (high resolution), any personal written stories, accounts, experiences, audio recordings or moments shared etc. I would like to include everything that is submitted and these can be submitted anonymously if so desired, or full credit.
This project is focusing exclusively on Greg’s solo works and HYDRA and I am not planning on visiting any of his other recordings. I have contacted the labels and individuals that have released Greg's work and obtained permission to reissue.
Each individual submitting material or giving permission to reissue or reprint will receive a copy of the finished book.
Will Keep this page updated as things progress.
A deadline has been set for the early fall.
With a projected release by November 2024.
Sincerely, Michael Nine
