New CDs, Spring 2015!
I've recently completed two lengthy CD projects. Although each began in different years both were released within one week of each other. It's great to have them both out. Here are the links below:

me & Wiek Hijmans at the old array studio
The Array website has a neat video page. Interviews with composers and more.
I had forgotten about the performance I did with Wiek there many years ago.
Thanks for keeping those web links active Rick!

The Allison Cameron Band CD release May 15, 2010
The Allison Cameron Band
Going
Going is only ever from A to B.
But where are these places?
If I am going to draw a circle, I am gone before the circle is begun.
A is the moment at which any semblance of intention comes into existence, unless I am to draw the circle unintentionally.
If the circle is to be drawn unintentionally, A is the moment that the chain of events (leading to the drawing) begins.
In either case (and in every case), A can easily be shown to be the beginning of time.
I arrive at B as the pen touches the paper, to draw.
If the circle is never completed, then I was not going to draw a circle, despite the fact that I may have already reached B.
It's as if I was to go to a friend's house and being told, after knocking on the door for an hour, that she no longer lives there.
I reach the house but I am not "there".
C is the closure of the circle.
We don't go there.
Its existence or non-existence indicates whether or not we have in fact arrived at the place to which we thought we were going in the first place.
If I am going to love someone forever, then C is at the imaginary end of all future beyond the point at which my love begins.
But I am gone long before that love takes form.
And I will never know if I have actually reached my destination (except imaginarily).
Importantly:
If I am going to stay here, then I am gone long before I decide to stay.
If I am going to stop going places, then I am gone long before I decide to start stopping.
I hope you will enjoy the musical directions traversed on this wonderful new record by The Allison Cameron Band.
