Since I’ve been so slow to update the News section of the main site, I thought I’d try using blogging software instead. Perhaps this can begin to bridge the gap I have placed between myself and Longing for Orpheus. In case you’re unaware of just how bizzarre that statement actually is, I should mention that (so far, at least) I am the sole member of Longing for Orpheus.
Previously, I’ve gone out of the way to present the project as independent from myself. There are two related reasons:
- I want Longing for Orpheus to have its own identity – I view it as an independent piece of art, and I don’t want my own political views or love of goth-industrial dance music (disparate examples, I know) to taint its meaning.
- The other side of the coin is that I don’t want anyone to associate me so closely with the New Age genre that they won’t give my Synthpop stuff a chance.
So, this isn’t the “Longing for Orpheus” blog – its the “Orphic Music” blog. Here, I’ll speak with my voice, about whatever interests me, and probably mostly to myself (please, prove me wrong).
If you really insist on shattering the illusion, go ahead and meet the everyday me.
