What is the Freeloader Project?
First off; thanks for visiting! FREELOADER PROJECT is all about sharing an eclectic mix of music visions. The PROJECT began in the summer of 2008 and is the culmination of a 35 year dream to put together and share a mix of predominantly original music. As a child, I became obsessed with reading novels; and as I look back now I realize why. A great story with no visuals allows one to create imagery – the heroes sprung from my own imagination and the backdrops were of my own design…it’s called imaginative engagement, allowing you to become an interactive part of the story telling process. I try to capture this spirit in the music as each song in a sense is a completed novel and only the listener should have the final thought. It almost seems that most music nowadays is watched and the imagery is provided for you, robbing you of the full experience of using your imagination to create an emotion, which is what good music is all about…evoking an emotion. Hope you enjoy the site and listen to the music. Take your time and please remember; you’re only limited by your own imagination…Rolly.
