Bragging on my sons--my most fave music.

http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/Jainism_/ Check out Classical, Beast and Let Go. These are songs written by my oldest son, Adriel O'Dell. He is the one doing the solid rhythm guitar lines and the finger-picking. The demo is not as good as what they paid for, but will give you an idea. Adriel will be going into the studio again in the near future, solo, to do his own project and this time with a professional engineer.

My son Trevor is also a very talented musician in his own right--particularly in the realm of composing. his work leaves you saying, "this is suited for film." I can't wait to get a good recording of it all.

The Greatest Music You Never Heard

Yeah, I know the idea is weird, but it may have occurred to you, too, that there is a lot of awesome music out there that has yet to be appreciated by the common folk in general. I want to change that. This site will help to make a difference, I hope. I want to cover two areas--old music that is still modern and powerful and absolutely new music that deserves to be heard. Some of the first genre may be such things as a band from the sixties that escaped the teens of today. The second genre may be music of today that has yet to be heard by yesterdays teens, if you catch my drift--I listen to a lot of what my kids do and they listen to a lot of what I grew up on. Let me say here that the music does not have to be Rock, either. Some of my faves are what one would call Classical and Modern pieces--from Bach to Stravinsky. I also like foreign bands such as Lacuna Coil, from Italy, Gathering, from Netherlands and others. And, some of my VERY favorite music is written by my sons. So, if you have suggestions to make or want to have your own compositions heard, let's talk, shall we? Together we may change the way music is heard.
