I am happy to say that a website I on which have been assisting is
I met Amber on MySpace, of all places. I sent her a friend request.
I mean, wouldn't you?
A week or two later I got a long letter from her about my music.
If you know MySpace at all, you know this just does not happen.
99.99% of the time people take a look at your picture, decided if you are
cool enough to be a friend and hit accept or reject based on that split-second impression.
Not so with Amber. She had actually listened to the lyrics rather carefully,
and wrote about them to me with a unique and refreshing perspective.
She did add that her favorite piece was an instrumental excerpt from
a classical piece of mine "Winter Blue," which is part of the hour long
electronic/orchestral song cycle the seasons. I sent her
the whole cd and we corresponded periodically.
Amber is a woman of uncommon beauty and I harbored a secret desire to
have her grace my cd cover for the seasons when it was released,
but, jeez, how to afford a Victoria Secrets model - to pose nude, nonetheless -
when one is abroke-ass artist? That was the dilemma.
In an email one day, she mentioned that she was trying to build two websites.
I wrote and asked if she might be interested in trading services,
since my day job (yes I still have one) is in interactive design.
To my amazement, she said yes.
So we are almost finished with the site.
It has taken while, since she travels a lot, but it has been a pleasure.
I can say with authority that she is a remarkable woman, adventurous, down-to-earth,
talented, smart, beautiful, with a sense of humor, an accomplished photographer.
Coming up in the next month or two, the photoshoot for the cover.
the seasons is being mixed and mastered right now, by Charles Stella,
who also mixed Pop Down The Years.
We may release the cd before the end of the year.
