As much as I enjoy what I do with AOR, it has always been a side project for me — and for the past few years much of Life had been taking priority. Consequently I don’t post much here on ArchiveOfResonance.com. Nonetheless, there is some possible opportunity for AOR-work coming up — let me explain …
NOT my truck …. but I think of it as looking this good!
About three years ago I got back into a vehicle and onto the sidewalks (*bha-doom Crash!). With this I had hoped to start making trips and work on my AOR recording list. Yes, I have a list of sound events I’d like to record … I’m just like that*. While AOR has had to take a bit of a backseat, once some of the priorities in my life are in better order I will be better equipped to capture these AOR recordings.
(*Here’s a glimpse at that list.)
Not me diving — but isn’t it a nice picture!
During this past summer I have been doing some work as a SCUBA diver. My ‘boss’ is Thane — my friend and bandmate in my Celtic-rock band, Nae Regrets. Last winter I delivered one of my external hard drives to Thane — with its storage maxed-out holding AOR material. I asked Thane to apply his expertise in retouching the audio for me — and the material was something I thought we could use with Nae Regrets. Next week I’m slated to do more dive work. While Monday and Tuesday are confirmed, Wednesday is a bit up on the air. Thane has proposed that if we are not blowing bubbles on Wednesday we might instead get together to go over his work on my audio.

So, on one hand working on Wednesday would be good for diving. On the other hand, getting to move one or two of my AOR projects forward would also be great. Whichever way Wednesday works out, next week should be a win!
Yes, that was a lot of w-words.
