Liquid Reality Liner Notes

The album generously produced, performed, and co-written with Great Oz and recorded at Great Oz Media, including vocals to Crashing and Ashes, except as noted below.

Coming from my untrained and uncertain little soul with heavy words, light melodies, and beyond-my-skill-production ideas foolishly popping in my head all of the time as though I could actually give them life, I wouldn’t have imagined that the final production would include these incredible professional, ridiculously skilled musicians and engineers who arrived with a music IQ that far exceeds my common intellect. I’m sure I’m not crediting them enough.

Recorded at Rustbelt Studios: Believe Vocals and Back-Ups on whatever was needed along with Tambourine for Mind’s Eye by the deeply talented, Eric Hoagemeyer. Album Mixed by the notorious Al Sutton.

Her Story…

After two years of passive-aggression followed by dead silence from a wannabe-label in Miami then being pawned off to a middle-aged trust-fund stoner trying to be cool by attaching himself to artists, eclectic pop singer, Amy Arena, cut the clowns off. The witty lyricist maxed out her credit cards during the dangerous down turn of the economic crisis to keep her dignity. Amy is a diverse vocalist who decided there wouldn’t be a “fool me three times” moment for her and now, she considers this second release as her true first as it has been completely under her control.

The extremely charming singer embarrassingly admits that in her youth a lawyer and producer took her and a few thousand listeners across the nation for a ride. The former label, now devoted to easy-listening, egged on her confrontational attitude by releasing artwork that she didn’t approve of and marketing her spoken word CD as a solo release, though there were two other writers. She found herself caught in the deception on-air during a radio promotion tour during which she skirted around the involvement of the other collaborators who, in part, designed the illusion.

Until that point, thinking she was the only victim and markedly known for her honesty, Arena felt the rug pulled out from under her when she found herself avoiding the truth with listeners to protect the label’s interest. What she didn’t know is that the co-writers took complete credit with the royalty agencies. More interested in singing, she readily quit as soon as the tour was over to end her entanglement in the absurd and profound manipulation of the industry.

She now vows to bring music that is fostered only in a spirit of honesty and a love of melody.
