07.16.10 : Redecorating the Garden

Gardening, Not Architecture is not just a solo project, even though I am the only one people meet as the face of the project. Since the beginning, when a mutual friend suggested that I record my song ideas with Beau Sorenson back in Wisconsin in 2004, a lot of people have offered their help in making this project possible and moving it forward. Without these people, I’d never have been able to record, play shows, have a light wall, make music videos, book tours, have websites, print merchandise, make flyers, have professional photos, and more. It’s always been a project that a lot of people have invested their time and energy into, because they believed in it, and most of all because they were my friends.

This brand new website is another example of a friend stepping in and offering to bring something to the G,NA table. My dear friend German (whom you may remember form the Layer23 remix contest we did back in January) came to me with the idea for a new and improved website that would encompass all the things I’m doing, under the G,NA umbrella. Whenever someone has an idea, I let them run with it and give them creative control — because it’s so much more fun that way, and I always end up being totally blown away by the creativity my friends possess. German showed me the layout for the new site about a week ago, and now here we are at launch day, and I couldn’t be happier!

Take a look around, join the email list, follow the links, peruse the online store, check out the media, and enjoy! This is a world that my friends have helped me build, and you are a part of it just by being here. I love watching this project grow on its own, into something that is real and honest. This is gardening, not architecture!

Love,
Sarah
