The Return

Sometime during the fall of 2010, the original Oddstruments.com website vanished, leaving nothing but an unexplained note in a non-descript font: "Server Not Found." The popular website that once was a top source for cutting edge sound and art enthusiasts had vanished, almost as quickly as it had appeared. But that was not the end of the story.

Deep down, in the dark dingy bowels of some dusty server in some middle-of-nowhere town, in what we now call "the cloud," Oddstruments resided, asleep, barely breathing... waiting.

Then, a stir. A twitch in the disk's motor. Like the worm that finally emerged free from it's stale cocoon, Oddstruments flew forward. Now today, reflecting on the glassy eyes of you, the beloved reader, Oddstruments is reborn.

With your patience and encouragement, new articles will make their way to the front page. In addition, some of the old articles will have their dust jackets removed, given a new outfit, and published along their merry ways.

This process, of course, will take some time and so I ask you, gifted listener, for your enthusiasm and excitement for the times ahead! - A Note From Tyler - February 23, 2012
