Ah, the old “no news is good news” gambit. We’re leaning on it heavily lately, because things have been quieter than a librarian at a silent retreat. The Eric van Aro Quartet record dropped, and since then… crickets doing yoga.
That said, if you fancy a little limited-edition vinyl magic, a few stray copies are still lurking at tondomusic.com. Click “search.” You know the drill. We believe in you.
Eric, meanwhile, is incapable of lounging in creative silence. The man already has three new projects simmering. One of them—get this—had to be notarized. By an actual public notary. Because when you’re Eric, you don’t just fear idea thieves; you prepare a legally binding trap for them. This one’s a massive undertaking about the Valente family. No more details (don’t even ask), and it’ll take ages. But Eric will fight like a caffeinated wolverine to get it released. Expect surprises. Lots of them.
The other two musical projects? Imagine two poles on a planet of sound. One couldn’t be further from the other in origin or vibe. So, yes, that should be… exciting (he says, loosening his collar).
In the meantime, Eric is somewhere in the Caribbean, swearing his oath of allegiance to his new homeland. And we’re just sitting here, wondering what fresh sonic oddities he’ll come back to bother us with.
We’ll write when he does. Or when the notary calls.
