As some of you may know, I am the father of a little boy who has
autism. He is 7 years old and we live in Nebraska. I am starting a
new album project about autism. I am looking for collaborators on this
project. I am looking for songwriters, singers, and other unique
musicians to help out. This will be a power-pop, ambient, sometimes
dark and techno, happy and just an all around good feeling project.
Whoever gets involved with the project should be very proffesional and
willing to work very hard on it. Your knowlege about autism is not
that important but I would expect you to read a little about it.
The thing about autism is the lack of communication of the person affected by it, and their frustrations caused by not being able to express their needs. It is much like any relationship in that they have needs, expectations, love and all of those other emotions that we have, but no way to communicate their feelings. To me it would be like wanting someone to love, but you can't have them because of some reason or another.
Also I want to write some songs about the way I feel about him, and my dreams for him in the future. I think this is a very unique concept and I have already talked to some record companies about this project, and they are very excited to hear it. The time frame is about one year, but it may take longer. I am very open to anyone's input on this project. I would have to say that my downfalls in music would be keyboards, vocal harmony arrangements, and the final mixdown. I would be willing to do this project as a public thing, or in private also, or a combination of both. The word autism does not ever need to mentioned because it is really about relationships, desires, love, frustration, happiness, and the unknowns of life. Please feel free to contact me directly by email: jaxiepaul@yahoo.com subject: Autism album project, or by contacting me here on Indaba. I think this will be a very fun project because it is something that has never been done before. I can't wait to hear from you ! Les
This is very much in the spirit of what Indaba is all about: Musicians coming together to work with each other. I hope some of you can help Les out.
