SoulTrackin’ - SoulCommune Update #1…
Sometimes things happen. Sometimes things happen that are defining moments. Defining moments for an individual, or a group of people in particular, or even a community in general.Sometimes we miss or at least overlook these moments, that is until they get so big and all encompassing that even Ray Charles could see it. Then, every now and then, we can perceive the event, sense that “something big, something exciting is going on here” as it is being born and starts to unfold.
I believe that the SoulCommune community is just such an event… something wonderful is happening over there!
I just found out about the site a few days ago and joined up as member #215, the membership has more than doubled since that time. Well, since these are the kinds of things that pique my interest, I thought I would follow the growth of the SoulCommune site on a daily basis for the next week or so and see just how big (and fast) thing grows.
As of Sunday, February 24, 2008, 12:35PM the SoulCommune site has:
464 members

Fusion: Where Music, Technology, and Artist Creativity Intersect
Hello readers and listeners. I trust all is well today. This post is a follow-up to the previous post about the subject of an upcoming podcast I hope to resurrect entitled Fusion. The concept of this podcast came to me via an off the cuff discussion I had a few years ago with a fellow podcaster/recording artist/graphic designer. Both of us, being musicians in our own right, began discussing our backgrounds and influences in making music, which invariably talking about how technology (past and present) played a role taking the music from inner to outer. I began to see the different paths ...
