   About & ampersand ...
The melodic landscapes that paint the terrains of &ersand's music began as seeds dropped during an interesting encounter of two people. When these two beings were first introduced, it was quickly discovered that their most efficient method of communication with one another was by producing sounds with their spirits, and not solely with their words. This eventually revealed an intertwined destiny that would reshape both of their perceptions and future interactions. Before meeting one another, both creatures had been traveling on their own seperate sonic paths for a great length of time, each one collecting as many unique sounds and inspirations they could find. Neither of them ever strayed too near the conventional noises that many others around them chose to accept, finding the majority of this noise to be unappealing and without spirit. By avoiding music that was easily reached, these two entities had the same objective in expanding their personal trails to search for beauty in sounds mostly hidden from the unattentive. With personal horizons expanding, both people felt the difficulty agreeing with popular sound slowly increasing. Frustration began to rise as they each were growing ill of the bland flavor and negative energy the interacting environment was offering. This encouraged them to try and paint their own surroundings with sound to escape the one they occupied. It was during this strange season that destiny pulled them each onto the same plateau. It began as a strong vibration in everything, and each color started becoming blindingly vibrant when the notes began to float like mist between the two beings. Every tiny sound they made would condensate on their fingers and lips before spreading like luminescent smoke into the air.Slowly their surroundings started shifting, and reality dropped from perception. The two were transported to a world in which every sound they produced began falling like seeds, disappearing under the ground and resurfacing as new structure, alive, vibrant, and beautiful.The more the two interacted in this world, the more it seemed to expand and breathe. Their auditory environment, inviting and plentiful, has now been the focus of these two architects for some time.They plan on continually adding and reshaping this land, all the while inviting all who can appreciate the beauty to wander, enjoy, and allow their own paths to connect magically with the wonderful place they call "& ampersand."
