“I dare not write pop music; I won’t dumb down my music for anyone” says Aeolian Jazz composer and guitarist Johnny Newman. It was at his first concert in support of Aeolian Jazz that Newman stood off stage laughing at the mere shock his intro track gave his audience. “I don’t think they were expecting anything quite like that. I just remember everyone being caught off-guard as these avant-garde sounds blatantly interrupted their casual conversations.” As one can imagine, Newman takes pride in not conforming to the traditional sounds of rock or electronic music. The compositional genres of Aeolian Jazz spread through the genres of drum and bass, symphonic rock, heavy metal, and experimental electronica under the influence of world, religious, and apocalyptic issues to form a completely unique fusion of earth-shaking compositions. As an electronic music composition major at the University of Tennessee, Johnny Newman continues to build on his experimental and electronic nature while doing concerts in support of his first full-length album Progressing Deviation.

Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's totally free too; my goal with this is to accumulate as many BFF's as possible.
Yeah things have definately gotten a lot better for me. Its funny how things work out sometimes. As always, i expect you to be writing mass amounts of music lol I don't have AIM anymore so its hard to have an actual conversation through Myspace ya know? haha
Hello dear =) It has been a long while since we've talked. I miss you too! How have you been doing?? Ive been pretty good, decorated my house for fall for the first time ever haha... Working hard in school and what not. Its sad that was can go so long without talking =(
The guys are in Los Angeles, recording their forthcoming album with Ross Robinson (you know : THE CURE, KORN, AT-THE-DRIVE-IN, GLASSJAW..). I take care of their MySpace to spread the news, and that's why I wrote here ! ;-)
Anyway, thanks for supporting MY OWN PRIVATE ALASKA if you wish to support them !
