Podcast: The Gnome Sorcery Federation

Posted on by

Independent music is alive and well, giving us the last bastion of creativity in a corporate mass-produced world. I was given a homemade CD of music by Gnome Sorcery Federation of Portland Oregon… well, 10 tracks of GSF, plus 7 tracks from The Bastards of Chaos. For the sake of space, I will stick to GSF for now.

The first thing you need to know is that this is a direct to computer collection as picked-up by a cheap microphone, not something that was professionally produced. Like most independent bands, I assume The GSF doesn’t have a lot of cash. My understanding, however, is that there will be some professionally produced work available in the near future.

There are no vocals here. What we have instead are instrumental beds for some solid tunes. I presume at some point that these will have lyrics added to them but for now we’re dealing purely with the band’s work as an instrument ensemble.

The Artist They Wrote A Song About Me

Posted on by

No kidding… these guys really got to me. I received the CD in the mail yesterday and now I’m sharing – with their permission.

MPEG Audio: [ mp3 Podcast] Stereo, 3.7 MB

Real Player: [56 K Dialup] [Broadband]

It all started back when they sent me a CD in the mail, a compilation album. Unsolicited. And I was all like, “what the…?” but then I listened and it kind of grew on me. Not sure why. So I wrote a review of the album, not expecting anything back. And now this!

Interesting timing because I have been seriously considering giving up art. Over the previous 48 hours or so, some negative comments about my work got me to thinking and wondering if it is all worth it or not.

Okay, sure, I paint a bit compulsively at times, but this stuff is way too expensive for just a hobby. Sales have been up and down (you know, “despite the great economy”) so I was starting to think that maybe I’m just full of crap and really suck as an artist but am too stupid to know it…

And then Moe’s Haven kind of saved the day. A big hug to them. You can visit their web site at www.moeshaven.com.
