About Me
Brought to you by: www.band-flyers.com
Diastolic is a labor of love. It is an undertaking that can only be described as coming from the heart. The word diastolic itself is defined as the rhythmic expansion of the heart, and few words could better describe the motive behind the music of Diastolic.
Diastolic began as a side project for Aaron Klingerman, former vocalist/lyricist/guitarist of Buffalo Union, a way for him to start down the road to becomming a legitimate songwriter. During his days with the Warsaw, Indiana based rock band, he was called upon to write and sing the lyrics to compliment the musical talents that the other four members were contributing - it was a true collaboration. Yet, throughout the Buffalo Union journey, Klingerman wondered what kind of songwriter he could be. With the disbanding of Buffalo Union in May 2005, he was able to focus solely on the songs he had been writing on his own.
"Everybody has something to say," observes Klingerman, "and songwriters seem to be churning out song after song after song, ad infinitum. So I don't expect to say anything brilliant, new, or enlightening. But I do hope to say something that's true, something heartfelt. That's the theme that runs through most of what I write. My music is about allowing your heart to expand, even the songs that deal with loss. I believe you have to let your heart expand no matter what side of the coin you're on. If you're in love, you have to let your love grow, or it's doomed to fail. If you've lost in love, you have to let your heart be big enough to let go of negative emotions like bitterness and anger, so that the next time love comes around you'll be ready. Everybody's been in love, everybody's had their heart broken at some point in life, so I'm hopeful that people will relate to what I'm singing about. My experiences may not be better than anyone else's, or even all that unique. The fact is, there are probably a lot of songwriters out there singing about the very same things, maybe even doing a better job at it. But if I can go out and play a show, or finish a record I'm working on, and someone can hear a song, or a chorus, or even just one line and think to themselves, 'Yeah, I get that, I've been there, I've felt that way' then I've done what I set out to do."
