Music That Takes Me Places

DISTANCE, LIGHT & SKY, CASTING NETS

Chris Eckman, Singer/songwriter and founding member of the 
Seattle band The Walkabouts, along with British-Dutch singer/songwriter Chantal Acda, and composer Eric Theileman of the EARR Ensemble, released this gem of an album last month. I'm sure that it is not yet on the radar of most folks, but it should be. Casing Nets is a warm and beautifully realized album. Amazing to me is that these three artists walked into a studio in Prague earlier this year with producer Phil Brown (Talk Talk, Spirit of Eden), having only played together once before, and having only shared these songs via email, and recorded this album in six days. Recorded live with almost no overdubbing, these songs provide a listening experience that exemplifies true artistry at work.

Music has always been an important part of my life. My family and friends knew this well, often asking me what I was listening to and what I liked. It was always humbling to be asked, and eventually, I gathered the courage to create this music blog—to put into words what draws me to certain music and why. Over the years, my passion for writing has grown, along with my excitement for sharing musical discoveries. I hope your time here sparks excitement and leads you to a musical discovery of your own. More than anything, I hope your visit brings a little joy to your day.
