What I’m Working on

August 12, 2008

Welcome, new visitor! My name is Ari, the man behind Aries9. Here I share my thoughts on music and life, so you can get to know me and my music. Thanks for visiting!

Well, I’m making diligent progress on my big business vision.  Here are some stuff I’m working on:

• Have you checked out my “life” blog, OurBestVersion.com?  Now in the 4th month of existence, I’m refining more and more of its branding and focus.  Right now it’s branded as “Big Picture of Healing and Growth.”
• I’m planning to start a music review site.  The couple of reviews I posted on U2 and Toad the Wet Sprocket were practice and micro-test — to see if I enjoy doing it.  I do!  I love to tell the world about the music I love.
• And thirdly, I’ll start a site about songwriting, arranging and recording, though with some emphasis on the first two.  There are plenty of resources out there for recording and engineering, but not as much for songwriting and arranging — just as, if not more, important as engineering.  I feel that that’s my forte and I’m going to share my tips and thoughts on how to do them well.
• And finally — writing songs!  I’m writing furiously, and it’s a lot of fun.  Under my vision, I’m going to have an outlet for every kind of music I write — from heavy metal to children’s songs.  I feel like I’ve finally given myself permission to fully unleash myself.  I am many things, but I am a songwriter at heart.  It’s too bad the word “songwriter” tends to refer to a specific genre of music and industry — as I don’t fit that mold.  I’m a different kind, and I’m looking forward to the day when I share everything I do with the world.  And of course, that includes more Aries9!
