A Chance to Think Anew

This week I started a revamp to the disclexington site. It’s not much to look at, I know, but it’s giving the production company a chance to think anew.

There’s lots to think about on all sorts of levels – marketing and branding, technology, the feel, navigation…all of this before you even get to content.

I chose WordPress for the backbone because it is free and has fairly intuitive content management. I also chose it because for the next couple of weeks I am rebuilding a client site also built on WordPress and I wanted to re-familiarize myself with WP (NAP is also run on WP). This brings me to an interesting point,  I have now worked on a few different business sites powered by free php backbones, WordPress and Joomla. Cheap and simply Content Management Systems is an area of technology I am more and more interested in; while we are seeing its usage grow. This is to web building what cheap digital recording (like garageband) is to recording: part of the spirit and innovation that is taking us out of eras and in to new ones, part of a means of keeping ideas ahead of technology rather than the other way around.

So what is disclexington besides my little plot of pixels on the Internet? That is a question I have to ask myself every once in a while as I find the mission changing. Right now I’d say it’s little more than a digital label.  I’d like it to also be my expression of the condition of making and distributing music.

So with that in mind, I am thinking about different ways to interpret, present and create Sound & Vision. I invite you to think along.
