earth-inspired, ancestrally-rooted, future-driven media for kiddos

All my songs are performed and recorded by myself in my home studio.  I am an Engineer and lifelong musician cursed (or blessed) with the obsession to play any song that I hear and like.  Hence, many of my songs on Soundcloud, are covers.  However, the covers I play are my versions based on my interpretations and are usually quite different than the originals.  My style is eclectic and beat oriented and grounded in technology.  But, in everything, I still have great respect for the past and those who came before us and showed us the way.

That's Aro (as in bow and arrow) Veno (as in wine).  All the songs on here except for Indigenous People, We Can Change, Water For All, Vegetable Junkie, Peaceful Persistence, Cupid, You're Gettin' To Me, Profit Above Peace, A Hundred Monkeys, Barefoot In The Grapes, A Man Of His Word, Two Feet Off The Floor, Praying With Our Feet and Peaceful Persistence were recorded by yours truly on GarageBand.  Most of the percussion is software and all other instruments except for the guitar are software as well.   All harmonies are mine except for Marie Burns on Peaceful Persistence, Emily Lanxner on Standing With Standing Rock and Tamara Sindorf on A Man of His Word and We Can Change.  I have been playing guitar for more years than I care to admit (50+) and am totally self-taught.  I play strictly by ear.  These are all original songs except for Sing For The Climate.   I want very much to be playing my music with a band.  In all this time, I have not been able to reach that goal.  I can be contacted at aroveno@gmail.com.
