ONOFFON

Damn drummers...

Looks like about 15 to 20 more days... contracts are being finalized...

Damn drummers...

[onoffon]

Constant communication - everything looks and sounds good so far...

damn drummers... (no offense to any drummers out there)

[onoffon]

Still waiting for the contract... this is like bamboo shoots up my fingernails...

But we're still in constant communication so I'm sure we're still on...

It's challenging my deepest resolve...

[onoffon]

This was how my Father's Day began -

"Will have contract in the morning, it will already be signed by me. Happy Father's Day"

That's a step in the right direction.

Of course, my real Father's Day will be Thursday when my son in the infantry arrives early enough in the day to go see his younger brother graduate high school...

How cool is that?

[onoffon]

You know, the problem with downloads is that ONOFFON always produced an album that specifically defined the order with which we believed a listener should hear our songs. When a single song is randomly downloaded from a jumbled listing of our songs, that experience doesn't even exist...

Too bad...

The album days seem to be over, at least for the majority of the music buying public. I still think an artist should put some thought into the flow of a collection of pieces, just because that seems to be a part of the aesthetic, creative process. But I'm probably a dinosaur at this point with that way of thinking!

[onoffon]

Thanks for chiming in, Mazz... I know we're dinosaurs... the music buying public doesn't even think in those terms. You have to be an artist to even consider the flow of one song to the next - a mood in one song that feeds into the next, and the next... even down to the artwork on the album/CD cover that also sets the tone for the way the music hits you... it's ALL part of the creative processes that are being lost in the shuffle...

I, for one, will never stop producing albums the way I always have - I want to give the listener the ultimate ONOFFON experience... whether its antiquated or not... its what I will always do...

Same thing with film... a film is not a bunch of YouTube vignettes... its the sum of all of its parts that tells the complete story - just as an ONOFFON album takes you on a journey that should be told in its entirety...

yeah baby...

[onoffon]

The contract is signed and I'm waiting for the transfer of funds... so close I can taste it...

[onoffon]

wow... I am being tested now... had a contract for two and a half weeks now and I'm still waiting for the first installment of funds to clear... my 'team' is waiting to spring into action as soon as the funds hit... it's like trying to finish a 26 mile marathon on my knees with a football team on my back...
