Details:
"Stories of Oregon" is a collection of contemporary stories written by Oregon-based writers. Each story has an Oregon "feel" and shares something of what it's like to live here. Decorated inside and out with spectacular photographic art which references each of the stories, âStories of Oregonâ makes a great gift.

Business people, such as real estate agents or human resource managers have told us theyâve found it a great way to welcome clients or employees new to the state. Others have said itâs evoked a sense of nostalgia in family members who no longer live here. Individuals who have purchased the CD have mentioned how emotionally evocative the combination of stories and music is. Theyâve also mentioned how much they like the short-story format.

Unlike a novel on tape the stories are short. You can listen to one, start to finish, while driving to work, running at lunch, or just taking a break from TV.

The âStories of Oregonâ project came together when Andy and Dean, brothers and voice artists, met writer and editor Pamela. Soon they were reading stories by her and her writer friends on Andy's radio show, hosted by Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB).

Then they met Milen Slavov, internationally known musician and composer from Bulgaria who was granted "artist of extraordinary ability" permanent residency by the US government. Now Milen is a US citizen and resident of Oregon.

Wanting to do a project together they formed a small audio production company, Blue Dawg Audio. Using Pam's connections they found local writers to provide stories which were then read by Andy and Dean, and voice talent Lisa, at Milenâs recording studio. Milen then composed a unique sound track for each story as well as musical interludes which are scattered throughout the tracks. The result was "Stories of Oregon" a special blend of story, voice and music.

The members of Blue Dawg Audio hope you enjoy the result as much as they enjoyed the process of creating "Stories of Oregon".
