New 7″ Pre-Order
Dear Friends and Music Lovers,
In the Fall/Winter of 2016 I suffered a severe herniation of a disc in my lowest most vertebrae and was reduced to laying flat in bed for months – only able to stand, sit up, or walk for periods of a couple minutes at a time (I also somehow got Mononucleosis while laid out). During this period I was unable to work and earn wages; I’m now mobile again but remain fragile and unable to resume my regular work. I recently recorded two original songs and am having them pressed as a very limited edition (50 copies) vinyl 7" release. I’m hoping to sell these to regenerate some of the income that was lost during my incapacitated months.
You can choose to pay $15, $20, or $25 dollars (+ shipping) for this special limited edition record, Who Runs The Game b/w Patriotism.
Once the records are pressed, this music will also be made available digitally through my Bandcamp Page. Vinyl purchases will include a digital download.
Pre-order HERE or at the bottom of any page on my tumblr.
Thanks for your time, love, and support!
Bests,
AO

Just put up a cover of the Donovan song, Celeste…
Made entirely (aside from the vocals) out of found sounds from previous songs I’ve recorded. No new sounds were recorded in the making of this song :)
Listen/purchase: Celeste (Marcuse/Leitch) by Aaron M Olson

Bob Brookemeyer - first movement from Blues Suite from the album, Portrait of the Artist
I love the combination of the lush big band arrangement, the Copeland-esque Americana vibes, and the open space. Straight ahead at times, but spiced up with such special moments!
