...And So It Begins!

Well, here it is. After what seemed like an eternity mulling over what should reside here, the opening salvo has been fired and I can finally feel like I have something accomplished -- although *what* exactly has been accomplished has yet to be seen. Consider this a bit of an experiment that has little, if any, aim in sight, thus far. 

In the following weeks, this blog will become increasingly less 
spartan and much more fruitful.
But for now you're basically looking at a "work in progress" that is 
very much in its infancy 
and not quite ready for mass consumption. So take that as a bit of a 
modus operandi at this point. Being the avid concert-goer I am,
there will be no lack of visual content in the forthcoming posts.
This, coupled with supplemental, somewhat-hard-to-find music from
the corresponding artists will hopefully elevate this blog above a mere exercise in meaninglessness (and a proverbial needle in the blogstack).

Anyway -- enough rambling and onto something with substance.
To get the ball rolling, I'll be posting the first of a series of
concert photos that will ultimately end up on a few online publications, but will receive their first exposure (no pun intended) here. Without much ado,
I present you with my first batch of eye-candy in the form of Stars of the Lid -- with support from Christopher Willits and Classical Revolution (who will have to remain here in sentiment only due to my complete photographic ineptitude during their respective performances)
live at Holocene in Portland, Oregon on April 17th, 2008 -- as part of a two-day, classical/chamber/ambient showcase entitled, The Wordless Music Series. Enjoy!
