2020 * 2021 * 2022 * 2023 * Music Exchange Guidelines
Here is our playlist for 2023:
01: January: Xeres of Xeron
What an excellent way to kick off our 2023 Music Exchange, than with a new group member, offering a new flavor and texture to our proceedings. This first release is a CD of recordings featuring Xeres of Xeron, a local performer who lives somewhere in the wilds of Oregon, and has been performing in bands since the 80’s. This CD contains a brand new song – “Three Nines” – complete with a lyric sheet that folds out, and explanatory notes, too! Also included on the disc are three piano compositions performed just before the old Kohler & Cambell was hauled away. Also included are four pieces from the two different “XANDAR” sessions (Xeres AND Austin Rich), which are here in a rough form. (Plans to release these in another, remastered form are in the works.) Xeres new song is an evocative performance that captures a sound that feels new and familiar at the same time, and the sequencing on the disc makes for an organic and delightful listening experience. An excellent beginning to what promises to be an exciting year of exchanges!
