chrispreston.com and newaquarius.org

I’ve been trying lately to reconcile the existence of my two websites, which are chrispreston.com and newaquarius.org. The former is one that I’ve mostly used for my musical identity, for lack of a better description. For some reason I’ve always felt

I've decided to make my sites point to each other. It's just me, so why not simplify things for now?

The first thing I'm doing as part of this merger of my sites, is to make New Aquarius recordings available by download or on CD by mail order right here on my site. I’m really excited about that. Up until now, I’ve been relying on various companies to sell my music. Over time, it’s become expensive and a little exploitive. Most importantly, it’s starting to feel wrong being associated with them. I’m infatuated with the idea of music being distributed artist to audience. It’s time has come, I think. In a world where recorded music has become questionable commodity because of its industry, it’s nice to be able to work outside of the industry proper.

I hope to open a discussion forum about New Aquarius recordings and music as well as New Aquarian ideas. Who knows what else? The challenge will be to do all of that and still make more music. I’m optimistic.
