Aaron Stone is getting settled at EMC, doing Web development for Web-based application frameworks in the data storage/structure world. Although it’s definitely not music (Aaron is a former Bandersnatcher, front man for the band Willie Mays Haze, and a sound mixer),
it’s “a great learning experience,” he says. Aaron is also building a production studio for professional-quality audio recording and artist development that will focus on advising artists, creating a Web presence, and shopping their material around. He bought a house in Nederland, CO.
