Songs reliving experiences of love, proclamation, love lost, reflection, rebellion, and the joys of life. An offering of affirmative mantras that point to the great work, and remind us to live by the sword - cutting to the essence of the experience. The vision of the music is to share glimpses of timelessness with the audience, point to the expression of superhuman abilities within us, speak in symbolic languages, and above all else collective reclamation of our cosmic birthright.

“Music is a multilayered sensual experience. Paired with intentional wisdom, the result can be part of a healing regimen taking the listener on a journey that triggers movement and perpetuates flow. 
Namaste”

Legendary Minnesota music business entrepreneur, Arlo Hennings has more than 5,001 gigs notched on his guitar, which has taken him across the country and as far afield as South Africa and Bali. Before conceiving the idea of the Minnesota Music Awards, Hennings cut his teeth in the music field during his teenage years. His first lessons in the industry came from Al Jarreau’s manager, Patrick Raines where he worked as an assistant to his venue operation.

Later, Hennings worked for 20 years as the artist manager for A&M recording artist Shawn Phillips. Under Hennings' management, Phillips earned multiple Gold and Platinum record awards.

Combining his skills as a studio engineer, producer, and artist manager, Hennings succeeded in signing his roster of songwriters to one of the largest co-publisher/producer agreements in Minnesota. As an A&R director and co-publisher for PolyGram Music International, Hennings signed several acts to major labels.

Landing in Bali, and subsequently moved to Yogyakarta, Hennings became the label/manager for the critically acclaimed Balinese pianist, Erik Sondhy. In addition, he is a podcast host for Curved Radio, Sydney Australia.

Hennings personal works include poetry published by California poet laureate, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and a double album/screenplay “Burden of the Beat – the Eyelid Movie” that was nominated by music critic, Jon Bream as a “Best Of” Top 10, and documented by the Minnesota Historical Society.

The driving theme inferred by the project name "Motorist Sketchbook" and the image of the open road, refer to the typical source of inspiration for these songs. Most of them have come to me while driving. I see something (visual) that sparks an idea or an observation worth writing a song about. These mental "sketches" are then developed in my home recording studio. 

These song recordings are demo tracks; recorded, edited, and mixed in my modest home studio, using a two-input PreSonus Audiobox and Studio One software.

The songs (lyrics and instrumentation) were written and played/edited by me, Steve Lundgren. (unless otherwise noted)

The drums are programmed. I played the remaining instruments as direct input with most effects being applied in the DAW (digital audio workstation). 

Multi-tracked electric guitars and 5 string bass. 
Vocals by me using a basic Blue Yeti microphone. 

The software was typically used as a creative tool. 
These tracks are songwriting demos. Everything you hear is a placeholder. 

The hope is to someday assemble a band of professionals to record and perform these songs live. Leaving me the luxury of singing them with great accompaniment. Hey, I can dream, right?
