Due to an unexpected financial crunch (darn mortgage, bills, and day jobs getting in the way of music!), the Avian Waves CD is hanging around in limbo, where it's been for much of the past few years. But that's all the bad news...
Good news! Avian Waves will soon be for sale through MySpace Music. This serves several purposes. First, people visiting this website wondering why it's so dedicated to music when the tech section is 100x more active will finally be able to listen to what I create and be given a chance to purchase it (support your local starving artist) through a fairly decent quality medium (with good prices to match). Second, it serves as a make-shift "demo" for super high tech indie labels that don't evaluate unsigned artists the same way the majors do (in other words, just give me the music, jack, instead of boring press package with a boring bio of my nerdy life).
Believe it or not, I've had some interest from several different labels. I am getting good feedback from the contacts I have (and awaiting feedback from some others). The tricky part seems to be that last few inches where they go from "this sounds great" to "hey we'll distribute your stuff!" Keep your fingers crossed...
If nothing else, I hope to press the CDs myself later this year and try to sell a hundred during the next year. I'm aiming sort of low since "everybody is a musician" and it's hard to make a name for yourself when there is such a bad signal:noise ratio. ie, good music is hard to find. Well, I like to think I wrote good music. I need some momentum...
Friend me on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/avianwaves and send me messages, leave comments. Reply in the blog or forums! Listen to my music! I want to write more...
Have some fun. I know I have to have at least one friend out there reading this crap I keep posting...
