Hi everyone. Your intrepid guide through the world of Soundaxis here. Thought I might introduce myself, to break the virtual ice. My name's Christien Ledroit. I'm a composer, some-time performer, CMC Ontario regional councillor, small business owner, dad, husband, car buff, etc etc. I'm a pretty busy guy. But I'm setting some time aside to get knee deep in the wonderful festival that is Soundaxis, and I'm pretty excited about the whole deal!
You see, I need live music to inspire me in my own creations, and lately I've been up to my eyeballs in work (the not-good kind), so I've been low on inspiration. What that means is that my time in the studio becomes less fruitful, and that makes it frustrating. But getting out to a few concerts all of a sudden seems to open up parts of my brain, and all of a sudden my pencil can't keep up with my brain. (yes, I still compose the "old fashioned" way, with pencil, paper, and lots of erasers)
The irony about this whole blog is that I hate blogs. Absolutely detest them. Why? Because 9 times out of 10 they're self-indulgent. So this blog won't be about me, it'll be about the music.
So stay tuned throughout the entire festival, starting tonight. I can't be everywhere and hear everything, but I'll be posting about everything I do make it out to, and maybe some hear-say from friends at other shows. I'll also try to post some audio and video as I'm able.
Please feel free to post any comments, feedback, etc. or reviews of your own.

Bon concert!
