Home of some of the top talent in Des Moines, Aqui Estamos Records is throwing a bash tomorrow.

A talented group of acoustic songwriters are gathering in Des Moines right now.

They are writing songs about wandering and developing a compilation CD right now.

Some of the first-fruits are already here!

All who wander-fmiles

enjoy!

Heya friends,

We’re working on doing a live radio show with the fantasic Darren H.

Keep an eye on The Small Print for a Monday night acoustic show sometime in February with Finn Miles!

I’ve been working with my fantastically talented friend Josh and brilliant brother Scott on sound design and soundtracking for a new video game. The game is an incredibly addictive cannon game where the object is to shoot bank executives out of a cannon and into all kinds of dangerous objects (cactus, brick walls…etc)

In celebration of this game’s impending release I’ve decided to share elements of the theme music with you. Enjoy!

I stumbled upon this brainy intrigue on the nature of labeling, an of co-opting labels such as “indie” and found it well worth the read.
As far as the music scene in Des Moines, I’m not sure if “indie” ever really took off, but I do know of many truly independent bands who are making brilliant sonic waves.
Do your homework on:
Canby
Jacob Tyler Wolfgang
The Envy Corps
Cashes Rivers
The Seedlings
