New layout

Changes changes everywhere! Ok folks, I've updated my blog design (finally) and have made some other changes as well. For example, my blog name. It has driven me craaazy for a while how my former blog name was used in a decorative fashion everywhere. It had come through an off-hand thought years ago, and even when the annoyance started, it never seemed right to change the name...I mean, can you doo that?

Well I have. And will now introduce you to my new name: "Sounds to Silence."

Wait.

That sounds familiar...

Hmm, so if you've been following my blog for a while, you've probably heard of my ideas and plans for a music blog I started but have somewhat neglected because I just don't have the time to give it everything I want to. That blog was, in fact, named "Sounds to Silence," a title I had created from a definition of music that read: "Music: any combination of sounds and silence." Even though I made the effort to create a different platform to promote some of my favorite music finds, I've decided to reign it all back in, at least for now. And in doing that, I also decided that I wanted my clever title to live on. Which is why I've adopted that as the new name for this blog.

I love how the title can also encompass so much beyond the music world. After all, everyone's thoughts, words, articles, statements, comments, blogs, etc. make up the "sound" that fills our minds every day. And at times, there is silence. I don't want to sound cheesy with statements of filling the world with positive sounds to ultimately create a beautiful symphony (I'm sure there's even cheesier) or something of that sort, but I kinda like the meaning you can find behind the phrase.

So I hope you enjoy Sounds to Silence from here on out.

P.S. I may be importing some of my posts from that site just so they are over here instead.
