Hawaiian singer-songwriter Ron Artis II joined us in the AEA Ribbon Mics suite to share two new songs at this intimate acoustic No Depression Session during Folk Alliance International 2024 in Kansas City.
The session begins with an open and heartfelt story about the loss of a pregnancy that Artis and his partner suffered years ago, which inspired the first song “Little Grey Skies.”
Artis then shares his thoughts on accepting life events that happen outside of our control. I can’t write anything that sums up his words more eloquently than the way he said them, so please stay tuned between the first and second song to hear his take on recognizing misfortune and responding thoughtfully. We transition from this topic into his second and final song of the session, “Fell Out,” which examines a long term romantic relationship losing its initial shine.
Artis’s website states upfront: “Music is my language. Let’s Talk.” We immediately found that statement to be true, and we also found Ron fully engaged in verbal communication, equally including recording technology and spirituality.
The moment he walked into our pop-up studio, we talked about cameras and the video equipment and techniques that I spend a lot of my time thinking about. I try not to bring up tech stuff with our musical guests, but if the artist brings it up, I am delighted for the opportunity to dive down the rabbit hole. On the audio side, Artis is just as engaged, discussing ribbon mics, learning about specific uses, and offering his own insights gleaned over the course of his recording career so far.
