Q&A With Aaron Thompson

Aaron Thompson - A Record, A Wheel from goldenbear on Vimeo.
Local indie folk artist Aaron Thompson, sounds like a mix of David Gray and Bob Dylan. With a voice made for folk, raspy enough to be cool but not so raspy that he is inaudible, Thompson paints a hauntingly beautiful picture of a life of substance. A life with ups and downs, passion, and love. His self-titled debut album could easily be the soundtrack to an indie movie; perhaps Garden State 2(I really hope they don't make that). The eventual Grammy winner was kind enough to answer a few of my questions.

1)When writing music, do you have a specific process you follow? or any rituals?

Usually I start with the melody. If it comes when I'm not around an instrument, I'll hum it until I can't forget it or record it on my phone. Later on I write the instrument parts, usually with a guitar and then the words follow. If I sit down with it and nothing comes for a few minutes, i move on to the next song. There's a big book of songs waiting to be finished, so there's always something to work on.
