What — I’m blogging now — I’m a blogger?!?
Oh, right … okay.
Archive Of Resonance is off to an interesting start — since the beginning of this year it has taken form in leaps and bounds. Finding our footing with Wind & Harps took a fair amount of work for co-founder Andrew and I. When Andrew released AOR to me late last month, it proved to be both a speed-bump and a gift — and as I’ve learned from my experiences as a musician, I’ve dealt with this shift and kept on rolling. Another experiential recording has been captured, I’ve been having new session ideas along with contributions from friends, and buzz is building.
I’ve noticed that when I’m involved with different AOR efforts, people seem to be a little more kind and receptive than usual. When Andrew and I sought to record what became Wind & Harps, three noted Seattle-area meteorologists gladly helped with information on undisturbed windy places around the Puget Sound. The people I met at The Oyster Run seemed to be rather welcoming and the few people I interacted with last week doing the first Trains & Waves recording were also quite pleasant. Tomorrow I should be doing another session with Adam for Trains & Waves, and while I’m out Andrew is doing me a favor in delivering the first CD supply to my place.
I of course have no idea if AOR is going to publicly blossom or just prove to be a personal side-project that lives in the shadows, but I like this project so far … there seems to be something ‘right’ about it. Wherever it goes, I’ll follow, and may the road be interesting along the way!
